(e) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed shim.
(f) Calculate the thickness of a new shim so the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
Specified value (Cold):
Intake A = B + (C -0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust A = B + (C -0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
(g) Select a new shim with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.
EXAMPLE (Intake):
Measured valve clearance = 0.45 mm (0.0177 in.)
0.45 mm (0.0177 in.) - 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) = 0.25 mm (0.0098 in.)
(Measured - Specification Excess clearance)
Used shim measurement = 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.)
0.25 mm (0.0098 in.) + 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.) = 3.05 mm (0.1201 in.)
(Excess clearance + Used shim = Ideal new shim)
Closest new shim = 3.05 mm (0.1201 in.)
Select No.12 shim
