INSPECTION
1. REMOVE INTAKE PIPE ASSEMBLY
(See page EM−48)
2. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(See page EM−77)

3. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION

(a) Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise, and align its groove with
the timing gear cover groove.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder are loose
and valve lifters on the No.6 cylinder are tight.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360˚) and align the
mark as above.

IN IN IN 4. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE

(a) Check only those valves indicated in the illustration.
S Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
S Record the out of specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
EX EX EX EM8438 Intake
0.15 − 0.25 mm (0.006 − 0.010 in.)
Exhaust
0.35 − 0.45 mm (0.014 − 0.018 in.)

IN IN IN (b) Turn the crankshaft one revolution (360˚) and align the
mark as above (See step 3).
(c) Check only the valves indicated in the illustration.
Measure the valve clearance (See step 3).

(d) Remove the adjusting shim.

SST Notch S Turn the crankshaft to position the cam lobe of the
camshaft on the adjusting valve upward.
S Using SST press down the valve lifter.

HINT:
Before pressing down the valve lifter position the notch on the
exhaust manifold side.

S Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver

and magnetic finger.
(e) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by using
following (Formula or Charts).
S Using a micrometer measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
S Calculate the thickness of the new shim so the valve
clearance comes within specified valve.
EM8464 T........ Thickness of used shim
A....... Measured valve clearance
N....... Thickness of new shim
Intake N = T + (A − 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust N = T + (A − 0.40 mm (0.016 in.))
S Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated values.
HINT:
Shims are available in twenty sizes in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.) from 2.35 mm (0.0925 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.)

SST (f) Install a new adjusting shim.

S Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
S Remove SST.
