Valve clearance (cold):
Intake valve:
0.11–0.20 mm
(0.0043–0.0079 in)
Exhaust valve:
0.25–0.34 mm
(0.0098–0.0134 in)
Measurement steps:
• Turn the drive coupling counterclockwise,
and then check if cylinder #1 is at TDC of
the compression stroke with a dial gauge.
NOTE:
TDC on the compression stroke can be
found when the camshaft lobes are turned
away from each other.
• Measure the valve clearance with a thick-
ness gauge

.
NOTE:
• If the valve clearance is incorrect, record
the measured reading.
• Measure the valve clearance in the follow-
ing sequence.
