To check the valve timing (with a dial test indicator) Operation 8-3
1 Set the piston of number 1 cylinder to TDC on the compression stroke, see Operation 8-1.
2 Set the valve tip clearance of number one inlet valve to 0,74 mm (0.029 in).
3 Set a dial test indicator to zero against the valve rotator of number one inlet valve.
4 Slowly rotate the crankshaft clockwise, from the front, one full turn. The reading on the dial indicator should
be 3,93/5,59 mm (0.155/0.220 in). If the reading is correct, set the valve tip clearance of number one inlet valve
to 0,64 mm (0.025 in).
5 Remove the dial test indicator.
6 Fit the rocker cover, see Operation 3-2.
7 If the reading in step 4 is incorrect, remove the timing case cover, see Operation 6-1. Check the timing marks
on the timing gears.
Note: Adjustment of the timing by one tooth on the timing gears = 11° or 30 mm (1.2 in) on the circumference
of the pulley / damper assembly.
