Checking and adjusting valve clearances
Notes
For clarity, the figures show the engine block removed from the frame.
Remove the inspection cover (A) and install service tool no. 88713.0123 .
Turn the crankshaft until the mark on the timing belt driveshaft pulley is aligned with the mark on the crankcase cover.
Set the degree wheel of service tool no. 88713.0123 to zero the horizontal cylinder is at top dead centre of the expansion stroke,
and therefore we can proceed to check the valve clearances on this cylinder.
To measure valve clearances in the vertical cylinder, rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise through 270° from this position.
This will bring the vertical cylinder to top dead centre of the expansion stroke, and therefore we can proceed to check the
valve clearances on this cylinder.
