TIP
• Cover the timing chain opening with a rag to
prevent the valve pad from falling into the
crankcase.
• Make a note of the position of each valve lifter
“1” and valve pad “2” so that they can be in-
stalled in the correct place.
b. Calculate the difference between the speci-
fied valve clearance and the measured valve
clearance.
Example:
Specified valve clearance = 0.10–0.17 mm
(0.0039–0.0067 in)
Measured valve clearance = 0.20 mm
(0.0079 in)
0.20 mm (0.0079 in) - 0.17 mm (0.0067 in) =
0.03 mm (0.001 in)
c. Check the thickness of the current valve pad.
TIP
The thickness “a” of each valve pad is marked in
hundredths of millimeters on the side that touch-
es the valve lifter.
Example:
If the valve pad is marked “155”, the pad
thickness is 1.55 mm (0.061 in).
d. Calculate the sum of the values obtained in
steps (b) and (c) to determine the required
valve pad thickness and the valve pad num-
ber.
Example:
1.55 mm (0.061 in) + 0.03 mm (0.001 in) =
1.58 mm (0.062 in)
The valve pad number is 158.
e. Round off the valve pad number according to
the following table, and then select the suit-
able valve pad.
TIP
Refer to the following table for the available
valve pads.
Example:
Valve pad number = 158
Rounded value = 160
New valve pad number = 160
f. Install the new valve pad “1” and the valve lift-
er “2”.
TIP
• Lubricate the valve lifter with engine oil.
• The valve lifter must turn smoothly when rotat-
ed by hand.
• Install the valve lifter and the valve pad in the
correct place.
