by calculating its thickness with the
following formula.
(5) Install the proper valve pad into the
valve lifter.
NOTE:
• Measure the thickness of the new valve
pad with a micrometer because the thick-
ness number is not indicated on the pad.
• Lubricate the valve pad with molybdenum
disulfide grease.
• Perform the above procedure for all
valves whose clearances are out of speci-
fication.
