Valve Clearance Adjustment
Special Tools Required
Tappet adjust wrench set 07MAA-PR70100
NOTE: Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head temperature is less than 100°F (38°C).
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Set the No. 1 piston it top dead center (TDC). The punch mark (A) on the variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator and the punch mark (B) on
the exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top. Align the TDC marks (C) on the VTC actuator and exhaust camshaft sprocket.
3. Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you're going to check.
4. Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw (B) and the end of the valve stem, and slide it back and forth; you should feel a slight
amount of drag.
