Valve Clearance: Testing and Inspection

1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.

NOTE: Check only the valves indicated by shading in the illustration.

2. Record the out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake: 0.15 - 0.25 mm (0.006 - 0.010 inch)
Exhaust: 0.25 - 0.35 mm (0.010 - 0.014 inch)





3. Turn the crankshaft one revolution (360°) and align the mark as above.

NOTE: Check only the valves indicated by shading in the illustration.

4. Measure and record the valve clearance.
