If it is necessary to make adjustment, loosen the adjusting screw

lock nut © and turn the adjusting screw (3) so that the valve clearance

will offer a slight resistance when the thickness gauge is inserted. After
completing the adjustment, retighten the adjusting screw lock nut while

holding the adjusting screw, to prevent turning.

Finally recheck the

clearance again to make sure that the adjustment had not been disturbed.

Note :

The valve clearance must be checked when the engine is cold.
