9. Check only the valves indicated.
*
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.
*
Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve lifters.
Valve Clearance Adjustment
1. Remove the exhaust camshaft. Refer to Exhaust Camshaft and Valve Lifter Replacement (See: Camshaft, Lifters and Push
Rods/Camshaft/Service and Repair/Exhaust Camshaft and Valve Lifter Replacement).
2. Remove the intake camshaft. Refer to Intake Camshaft and Valve Lifter Replacement (See: Camshaft, Lifters and Push Rods/Camshaft/Service
and Repair/Intake Camshaft and Valve Lifter Replacement).
3. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed valve lifters.
4. Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance comes within the specified values.
5. Calculation Example (intake):
1. Measured intake valve clearance equals 0.40 mm (0.0158 in).
