Adjusting the Valve Clearance
6.
Hold the adjustment screw in place and tighten the locknut.
7.
Recheck the valve clearance.
8.
Rotate the engine one full turn (360 degrees) in the normal direction of rotation (clockwise
viewed from the water pump end), and align the 1-4 timing mark on the flywheel with the
index mark in the timing mark access hole. This is top dead center of the compression stroke
for the number four cylinder.
9.
Check and adjust the exhaust valve for the number two cylinder, the intake valve for the
number three cylinder, and both valves for the number four cylinder.
10. Replace the rocker arm cover, the cover for the timing mark access hole, and tighten the fuel
injection lines when finished.

Crankcase Breather
Gases formed in the crankcase are directed to the intake manifold. Harmful vapors that would
otherwise collect in the crankcase and contaminate the oil, or escape to the outside, are drawn
back into the engine and burned.
The crankcase breather is located in the valve cover. A restrictor is cast into the fitting for the
breather hose on the intake manifold. The restrictor limits the flow of gases from the crankcase to
the intake manifold and keeps the crankcase pressure from getting too low in vacuum. A breather
hose connects the crankcase breather to the intake manifold.
