ADJUSTING THE VALVE CLEARANCE
The following procedure applies to all of the
valves.
The valve clearance is automatically adjusted
by the oil pressure valve lifter. However, there
are times that the valve clearance is needed to
be adjusted manually. If this is the case, adjust
the clearance of the two maladjusted or worn
valves, which are inside a rocker arm, with the
adjusting screw.
A
If clearance is on the slip side
1
, loosen the
adjusting screw and bring the valve clear-
ance
a
to within specification. Check if the
valve clearance
b
on the adjusting screw
2
side is within specification.
B
If clearance is on the adjusting screw
2
side,
tighten the adjusting screw and bring the
valve clearance
b
within specification.
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.
