VALVE CLEARANCES - CHECK AND ADJUST

Service repair no - 12.29.48

Adjust

WARNING: If the crankshaft is rotated with
excessive valve clearace, it is possible
that the push rods could be dislodged

from the cam follower seating and fracture the
cam follower slide. To prevent damage, eliminate
all clearance from any loose rockers before
turning the crankshaft to adjust clearances.

1. Rotate crankshaft until No.8 valve (counting from

front of engine) is fully open.

2. Using a 0,20 mm (0.008 in) feeler gauge adjust

clearance of No.1 valve.

3. Slacken locknut and turn adjusting screw

clockwise to reduce clearance and
anti-clockwise to increase clearance. Tighten
locknut to

16 Nm (12 lbf/ft).

4. Repeat operation for remaining tappets in the

following sequence:

No.3 tappet with No.6 valve fully open.
No.5 tappet with No.4 valve fully open.
No.2 tappet with No.7 valve fully open.
No.8 tappet with No.1 valve fully open.
No.6 tappet with No.3 valve fully open.
No.4 tappet with No.5 valve fully open.
No.7 tappet with No.2 valve fully open.

5. On completion, recheck clearances and adjust

as necessary.
