CAMSHAFT VALVE CLEARANCE
CAMSHAFT VALVE CLEARANCE
Camshaft valve clearance
INFOID:0000000004202113
• Perform this inspection as follows after removal, installation, or replacement of the camshaft or any valve-
related parts, or if there are any unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance over time
(starting, idling, and/or noise).
1. Warm up the engine, then stop it.
2. Remove the fender protector side cover RH using power tool. Refer to
EXT-19, "Removal and Installation"
(Coupe models) or
EXT-40, "Removal and Installation"
(Sedan models).
3. Remove the rocker cover using power tool.
EM-39, "Removal and Installation"
4. Turn crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when
viewed from front) to align TDC identification mark (without paint
mark) with timing indicator.
5. At this time, check that the both intake and exhaust cam lobes of
No. 1 cylinder face outside.
• If they do not face outside, turn crankshaft pulley once more.
6. Measure valve clearances with a feeler gauge at locations
marked (X) in the table below.
• No.1 cylinder compression TDC.

• Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between valve
and camshaft.
*Approximately 80
°C (176°F)
CAUTION:
If inspection was carried out with cold engine, check that values with fully warmed up engine are
still within specifications.
7. Turn crankshaft one complete revolution (360
°) and align mark on crankshaft pulley with pointer.
8. Measure valve clearances with a feeler gauge at locations
marked (X) in the table below.
• No.4 cylinder compression TDC.
• If out of specifications, make necessary adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT
• Perform adjustment depending on selected head thickness of valve lifter.
• The specified valve lifter thickness is the dimension at normal temperatures. Ignore dimensional differences
caused by temperature. Use the specifications for hot engine condition to adjust.
1. Remove camshaft. Refer to
EM-41, "Removal and Installation"
2. Remove the valve lifters at the locations that are outside the standard.
3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters with a
micrometer.
4. Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.
• Valve lifter thickness calculation.
t = t1 + (C1 - C2)
t = Thickness of replacement valve lifter.
t1 = Thickness of removed valve lifter.
C1 = Measured valve clearance.
C2 = Standard valve clearance.

CAMSHAFT VALVE CLEARANCE
• Thickness of a new valve lifter can be identified by stamp
marks on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark 696 indicates a thickness of 6.96 mm (0.2740 in)
Available thickness of valve lifter: 26 sizes with a range of
7.88 to 8.38 mm (0.3102 to 0.3299 in), in steps of 0.02 mm
(0.0008 in), when assembled at the factory.
5. Install the selected valve lifter.
6. Install camshaft.
7. Instructionly turn crankshaft pulley a few turns.
8. Check that valve clearances for cold engine are within specifica-
tions, by referring to the specified values.
9. After completing the repair, check valve clearances again with the specifications for warmed engine. Use
a feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the valve and camshaft. Make sure the values are
within specifications.

INFOID:0000000004202114
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine to full operating temperature.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to
(California),
(Except Cali-
fornia).
3. Remove the ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder.
EM-14, "Removal and Installation"
4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-lIl).
5. Disconnect the fuel injector harness connector to avoid any residual fuel injection during the measure-
ment.
6. Install the compression tester with the adapter into the spark
plug hole.
• Use compression tester whose end (rubber portion) is smaller than
20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be caught by cylin-
der head during removal.
7. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to the “START” position to crank over
the engine. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm
2
, psi) / rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine cranking speed.
• If the engine speed is out of specified rpm range, check the battery. Check engine speed again with a fully
charged battery.
• If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with com-
bustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head gasket).
After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
• If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole of
the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
• If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn or damaged. Check the pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary.
