Turn valve tappets until notches point slightly inward, Fig. 4. Use tool 5196 or equivalent to depress valve tappets, Fig. 5. Tappet grooves must
point so that disc can be gripped with pliers 5195 or equivalent.
5.
Remove disc and use micrometer to measure disc thickness. Determine disc thickness necessary to obtain correct clearance. Discs are available in
thicknesses of 0.1299 inch (3.30 mm) to 0.1673 inch (4.25 mm) in increments of 0.002 inch (0.05 mm). Use only new discs.
