Valve Adjustment
Bring the engine up on number one compression stroke. Verify the position by checking for
clearance in-between the valve stem tip and the rocker arm.
NOTE: Valves can be adjusted
beginning with #1 or #4. This adjustment should not be made with the engine running.
Loosen the adjuster jam nut; insert a 0.40 mm (0.016) feeler gauge in-between the rocker tips and
the valve stems to adjust the valves.
NOTE: Proper adjustment is obtained when there is a
slight drag against the feeler gauge. Jam nut torque is 5.8-8.7 lbs. ft (0.8-1.2 kg m)
Rotate the crankshaft 360
°
(so that the opposing piston is now on its exhaust stroke) and adjust the
remaining valves.
