Taurus X AWD V6-3.5L (2009)
Valve Clearance: Specifications
NOTE: The valve clearance must be measured with the camshaft at base circle. The engine will have to be rotated with the crankshaft pulley bolt to
bring each valve to base circle.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location. A midrange clearance is the most desirable:
