23. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE

(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align the timing notch with the timing mark "0" of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder (IN and EX) are both loose.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark as above.

(c) Check the valves indicated in the illustration.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and the camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)
Exhaust
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)
(2) Record out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.

(d) Turn the crankshaft 2/3 of a revolution (240°), and check the valves indicated in the illustration.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and the camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)
Exhaust
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)
(2) Record out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.

(e) Turn the crankshaft 2/3 of a revolution (240°), and check the valves indicated in the illustration.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and the camshaft.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)
Exhaust
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)
(2) Record out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement adjusting shim.
24. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE

(a) Turn the camshaft so that the cam lobe faces upward.
(b) Turn the valve lifter with a screwdriver so that the notches are perpendicular to the camshaft.

(c) Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter. Remove SST (A).
SST: 09248-55040
09248-05410
09248-05420
- Apply SST (B) at a slight angle on the side marked with "9" or "7" at the position shown in the illustration.
- When SST (B) is inserted too deeply, it will get pinched by the shim. To prevent it from being stuck, insert it gently from the intake side at a slight angle.

(d) Using a screwdriver and magnetic finger, remove the adjusting shim.

(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 (0.0079 in.))
Exhaust A = B + (C - 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.))
(g) Select a new shim with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.

HINT:
- Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).
- Refer to new shim thickness table below.

Intake valve clearance (Cold):
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)
EXAMPLE:
The 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.450 mm (0.0177 in.).
Replace the 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim with a new No.12 shim.

New shim thickness mm (in.)

HINT: New shims have the thickness in millimeters imprinted on the face.

Exhaust valve clearance (Cold):
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)
EXAMPLE:
The 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.450 mm (0.0177 in.).
Replace the 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim with a new No.10 shim.

New shim thickness mm (in.)

HINT: New shims have the thickness in millimeters imprinted on the face.

(h) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter with imprinted number facing down.
(i) Press down the valve lifter with SST (A), and remove SST (B).
SST: 09248-55040
09248-05410
09248-05420
(j) Recheck the valve clearance.
