Mariner 4WD L4-2.3L VIN Z (2005)
Valve Clearance: Specifications
NOTE: The number on the valve tappet only reflects the digits that follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number 0.650 has the
thickness of 3.650 mm.
NOTE: A midrange clearance is the most desirable:
^
Intake: 0.22-0.28 mm (0.008-0.011 inch)
^
Exhaust: 0.27-0.33 mm (0.010-0.013 inch)
Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + the base tappet thickness - most desirable thickness.
Select the tappets and mark the installation location.
If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in these locations.
