REMOVE V–BANK COVER
(a)
Using a 5 mm hexagon wrench, remove the 3 nuts.
(b)
Remove the V–bank cover fastener clip and V–bank cov-
er.
6.
REMOVE AIR INTAKE CHAMBER ASSEMBLY

WATER OUTLET
9.
REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVERS
(See page EM–33)
10.
SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a)
Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
timing mark ”0” of the No. 1 timing belt cover.
(b)
Check that the valve lifters on the No. 1 (IN and EX) are
loose.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360
°) and align the mark
as above.
11.
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 out of specification valve clearance mea-
surements. They will be used later to determine the
required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake: 0.15 – 0.25 mm (0.006 – 0.010 in.)
Exhaust: 0.25 – 0.35 mm (0.010 – 0.014 in.)

(b)
Turn the crankshaft 2/3 of a revolution (240
°), and check
only the valves indicated in the illustration. Measure the
valve clearance. (See procedure step (a))
(c)
Turn the crankshaft a further 2/3 of a revolution (240
°),
and check only the valves indicated in the illustration.
Measure the valve clearance.
(See procedure step (a))
12.
ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a)
Remove the adjusting shim.
S
Turn the camshaft so that the cam lobe for the valve
to be adjusted faces up.
S
Turn the valve lifter with a screwdriver so that the
notches are perpendicular to the camshaft.

S
Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter. Re-
move SST (A).
SST
09248–55040 (09248–05410, 09248–05420)
HINT:
S
Apply SST (B) at a slight angle on the side marked with
”9” or ”7”, at the position shown in the illustration.
S
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.
S
Using a small screwdriver and magnetic finger, remove
the adjusting shim.
(b)
Determine the replacement adjusting shim size according
to these Formula or Charts:
S
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
S
Calculate the thickness of a new shim so the valve
clearance comes within the specified value.
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 – 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
S
Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated values.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.050 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.500 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.300 mm (0.1299
in.).
