4) Remove the camshaft assembly.
5) Remove MLA(Mechanical Lash Adjuster)s.
6) Measure the thickness of the removed tappet using a micrometer.
7) Calculate the thickness of a new tappet so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
T: Thickness of removed tappet
A: Measured valve clearance
N: Thickness of new tappet
Intake: N = T + [A - 0.20mm(0.0079in.)]
Exhaust: N = T + [A - 0.30 mm (0.0118in.)]
8) Select a new top with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated value.
NOTE: Tappets are available with 41 different size increments of 0.015mm (0.0006in.) from 3.mm (0.118in.) to 3.600mm (0.1417in.)
9) Place a new tappet an the cylinder head.
NOTE: Apply engine oil on the periphery surface of the selected tappet.
10) Install the intake and exhaust camshafts.
11) Install the bearing COPS.
12) Install the timing belt
13) Turn the crankshaft two revolutions in the operating direction,(clockwise) and realign crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket timing
marks(A).
14) Recheck the valve clearance.
