e. Remove the camshaft assembly(A).
f.
Remove MLAs.
g. Measure the thickness of the removed tappet using a micrometer.
h. Calculate the thickness of a new tappet so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
Valve clearance(Engine coolant temperature: 20°C[68°F])
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 - 0.30mm (0.0118in.)]
i.
Select a new tappet with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated value.
NOTE
Tappets are available in 41 size increments of 0.015mm (0.0006in.) from 3.00mm (0.118in.) to 3.600mm (0.1417in.)
j.
Place a new tappet on the cylinder head.
