Valve Clearance

68

Servicing Your Honda

Measure the decompressor arm clearance by
inserting a feeler gauge (1) between the
decompressor arm adjusting screw (6) and right
side rocker arm (7).

(1) feeler gauge
(6) decompressor arm adjusting screw
(7) right side rocker arm

DECOMPRESSOR CLEARANCE:
RIGHT EXHAUST VALVE CLEARANCE

+

0.014 IN (0.35 mm)

Example:
If measured right exhaust valve clearance is
0.011 in (0.28 mm), decompressor clearance is:

0.011 in (0.28 mm) + 0.014 in (0.35 mm) 

= 0.025 in (0.63 mm)

If only decompressor arm clearance needs
adjustment, see Decompressor Arm clearance
Adjustment (page 73).
