HINT:
-
Apply SST (B) at a slight angle on the side marked with "9" or "7", at the position shown in the illustration.
-
When SST (B) is inserted too deeply, it will get pinched by the shim. To prevent it from being stuck, insert it gently from the intake
side, at a slight angle.
-
Using a small screwdriver and magnetic finger, remove the adjusting shim.
b. Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according to these Formula or Charts:
1. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed shim.
2. Calculate the thickness of a new shim so the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
T Thickness of used shim
A Measured valve clearance
N Thickness of new shim
Intake: N = T + (A - 0.20 mm (0.008 inch))
Exhaust: N = T + (A - 0.30 mm (0.012 inch))
