If valve clearance is out of specification, record valve clearance and adjust it to specified value.
Valve clearance specification
When cold (ECT: 15 - 25°C (59 - 77°F)):
^
Intake: 0.16 - 0.24 mm (0.0063 - 0.0094 in.)
^
Exhaust: 0.31 - 0.39 mm (0.0122 - 0.0153 in.)
Adjustment
1) Remove tappet to be replaced.
2) Select proper size of tappet as follows.
a) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed tappet (1).
b) Calculate the thickness of new tappet using the following formula.
NOTE:
If the number in the second decimal places is odd, use (A - 0.01) tappet.
Intake side:
A = B + C - 0.20 mm (0.0078 in.)
Exhaust side:
A= B + C - 0.35 mm (0.0137 in.)
A: Thickness "a" of new tappet
B: Thickness "a" of removed tappet
C: Measured valve clearance
