INSPECTION

Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions regarding valve clearance. 

1.

Remove rocker cover. Refer to 

EM-160, "Exploded View"

.

2.

Measure the valve clearance with the following procedure:

a.

Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.
• Rotate crankshaft pulley (1) clockwise and align TDC mark (no

paint) (B) to timing indicator (A) on front cover.

• At the same time, make sure that both intake and exhaust cam

noses of No. 1 cylinder face inside (

) as shown in the figure.

• If they do not face inside, rotate crankshaft pulley once more

(360 degrees) and align as shown in the figure.

b.

Use a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between valve lifter
and camshaft. 

• By referring to the figure, measure the valve clearances at

locations marked “

×

” as shown in the table below [locations

indicated with black arrow (
