ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves.
Valve clearance adjustment should be made
on a cold engine, at room temperature.
When the valve clearance is to be measured or
adjusted, the piston must be at top dead center
(TDC) on the compression stroke.
1. Remove:
cylinder head cover
Refer to “CYLINDER HEAD COVER” in
chapter 5.
2. Measure:
valve clearance
Out of specification
Adjust.
Valve clearance (cold)
Intake valve
0.11
X
0.20 mm
Exhaust valve
0.21
X
0.25 mm
a. Turn the crankshaft clockwise.
b. When piston #1 is at TDC on the compres-
sion stroke, align the TDC mark
a
on the
pickup rotor with the crankcase mating sur-
face
b
.
TDC on the compression stroke can be found
when the camshaft lobes are turned away from
each other.
c. Measure the valve clearance with a thick-
ness gauge
1
.
If the valve clearance is incorrect, record the
measured reading.
Measure the valve clearance in the following
sequence.
