  4. Remove no. 1 Engine cover (see page em-22)

  5. Remove ignition coil assembly (see page ig-9)

  6. Remove spark plug

  1. Remove the 4 spark plugs.
  1. Remove cylinder head cover sub-assembly (see page em-24)

  2. Set no. 1 Cylinder to tdc/compression (see page em-25)

  3. Check valve clearance

  1. Check only the valves indicated.
  1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.

Standard valve clearance (cold)


  1. Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve clearance lifters.
  1. Turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and set the no. 4 Cylinder to the tdc/compression.
  2. Check only the valves indicated.
  1. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.

  1. Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve lifters.
  1. Adjust valve clearance

  1. Remove the no. 2 Camshaft (see page em-60).
  2. Remove the camshaft (see page em-61).
  3. Remove the valve lifters.
  4. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed valve lifters.
  5. Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance comes within the specified values.

New lifter thickness


Calculation example (intake):

  1. Measured intake valve clearance = 0.40 Mm (0.0158 In.) (Measured - specification = excess clearance) (a)0.40 Mm (0.0158 In.) - 0.24 Mm (0.0095 In.) = 0.16 Mm (0.0063 In.)
  2. Measured used lifter thickness = 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.)
  3. New lifter thickness = 5.410 Mm (0.2130 In.) (Excess clearance + used lifter thickness = ideal new lifter) (a)0.16 Mm (0.0063 In.) + 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.) = 5.410 Mm (0.2130 In.)
  4. Closest new lifter = 5.420 Mm (0.2134 In.) – Select no. 42 Lifter
  1. Select a new lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.

Standard intake valve clearance (cold): 0.19 To 0.29 Mm (0.0075 To 0.0114 In.)

Example:

The 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.) Lifter is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.400 Mm (0.0157 In.).

Replace the 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.) Lifter with a new no. 42 Lifter.

Standard exhaust valve clearance (cold): 0.38 To 0.48 Mm (0.0150 To 0.0189 In.)

Example:

The 5.340 Mm (0.2102 In.) Lifter is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.430 Mm (0.0169 In.).

Replace the 5.340 Mm (0.2102 In.) Lifter with a new no. 42 Lifter.

  1. Install the selected valve lifter.
  1. Install camshaft

  1. Apply a light coat of engine oil to the journal portion of the camshaft.
  2. Install the timing chain onto the camshaft timing gear with the paint mark aligned with the timing mark in the camshaft timing gear as shown in the illustration.
