6. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.
(1) Turn the crankshaft so that the cam lobe of the camshaft on the adjusting valve is upward.
(2) Using the SST(09220 - 2D000), press down the valve lifter and place the stopper between the camshaft and valve lifter and remove the special
tool.
(3) Remove the adjusting shim with a small screw driver (A) and magnet(B).
(4) Measure the thickness of the removed shim using a micrometer.
(5) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
Valve clearance (Engine coolant temperature : 20°C)
T : Thickness of removed shim
A : Measured valve clearance
N : Thickness of new shim
Intake : N = T + [A - 0.20mm(0.0079in.)]
Exhaust : N = T + [A-0.28mm (0.0110in.)]
(6) Select a new shim with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated value. [Refer to the Adjusting shim selection chart]
NOTE:
Shims are available in 20size increments of 0.04mm (0.0016in.) from 2.00mm (0.079in.) to 2.76mm (0.1087in.)
(7) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
(8) Using the SST(09220 - 2D000), press down the valve lifter and remove the stopper.
(9) Recheck the valve clearance.
