RL V6-3474cc 3.5L (1998)
a. Set the four 44 mm shims on the bearing surface of the gearbox housing. Total thickness of the four shims should equal no more than 0.70 mm.
Shim set: four 44 mm shims (Thickness: 0.10 mm, 0.15 mm, 0.20 mm, 0.25 mm respectively)
CAUTION: The four 44 mm shims do not have thickness identification marks. Measure the thickness of each shim using a micrometer, and
mark the shim for identification.
b. Install the valve body unit on the gearbox housing, and tighten the flange bolts to the specified torque.
c. Measure the clearance between the gearbox housing and valve body unit using a feeler gauge.
NOTE: Measure the clearance at the point midway between the two mounting bolts.
d. Determine the required thickness of the 44 mm shims by subtracting the clearance obtained in the step - "C" from the total thickness of the four
shims. (Total thickness of the four shims) - (Clearance) = Required thickness of the shims
NOTE: Select the shims so that the total thickness is close to, but less than the required thickness.
