4. Using a thickness gauge, measure the valve clearance with

the arrow shown in Figure. If deviated from the standard
value, make note for the valve clearance.

Standard value:

Intake valve 0.20

± 0.03 mm (0.008 ± 0.0012 inch)

Exhaust valve 0.30

± 0.03 mm (0.012 ± 0.0012 inch)

5. Turn the crankshaft clockwise 360 degrees, and put the

timing mark on the exhaust camshaft sprocket in position
shown in Figure. Therefore, No.4 cylinder goes to the
compression top dead center.

6. Check the valve clearance with the arrow shown in Figure.

In the same procedure as 4.

7. If the valve clearance is deviated from the standard value,

remove the camshaft and the valve tappet. For the camshaft
removal, refer to Camshaft Removal and Installation

P.11A-26

.

8. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed

valve tappet.

9. Calculate the thickness of the newly installed valve tappet

through the following equation.
A: thickness of newly installed valve tappet
B: thickness of removed valve tappet
C: measured valve clearance

Equation

Intake valve: A = B + [C

− 0.20 mm (0.008 inch)]

Exhaust valve: A = B + [C

− 0.30 mm (0.012 inch)]

NOTE: The valve tappet ranges 3,000

−

3,690 mm (0.1181

−

0.1453 inch) and has 47 types per 0.015 mm (0.0006 inch).
The thickness below a decimal point is stamped on the
reverse side of the valve tappet.

10.Install the valve tappet selected through the procedure 9,

and put the camshaft in position. For the camshaft
installation, refer to Camshaft Removal and Installation

P.11A-26

.

11.After installing the timing chain, measure the valve

clearance using the procedure 3 to 6. Confirm the clearance
is within the standard value.

CAUTION

Completely remove all the old liquid gasket, which might
be remaining among the components.
12.After completely removing the liquid gasket adhering on the

timing chain case, cylinder block and cylinder head,
degrease them with white gasoline.

CAUTION

The cylinder head cover should be installed within 3 min-
utes of applying liquid gasket.
13.Apply a 4 mm bead of liquid gasket as illustrated.

Specified sealant:

THREE BOND 1217G or equivalent

14. Install the cylinder head cover and tighten the tightening

bolts using the following procedures.

(1) Temporarily tighten to the following torque in order shown

in the illustration.

Tightening torque: 3.0

± 1.0 N⋅m (27 ± 9 in-lb)

(2) Tighten to the specified torque in order shown in the

illustration.

Specified torque: 5.5

± 0.5 N⋅m (49 ± 9 in-lb)

15.Install the ignition coils.

<3.0L ENGINE (INTAKE SIDE ONLY) >

NOTE: Perform the valve clearance check and adjustment at
the engine cold state.
1. Remove all of the ignition coils.
2. Remove the rocker cover.
3. Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the notch on the pulley is

lined up with the "T" mark on the timing indicator.

4. Valve clearance inspection and adjustment can be

performed on rocker arms indicated by white arrow mark
when the No. 1 cylinder piston is at the top dead center on
the compression stroke, and on rocker arms indicated by
black arrow mark when the No. 4 cylinder piston is at the top
dead center on the compression stroke.
NOTE: If the rocker arm of No. 6 cylinder at the intake side
is moved up and down and the rocker arm is moved, No. 1
cylinder is at top dead center on compression stroke. If the
rocker arm of No. 6 cylinder at the intake side is moved up
and down and the rocker arm is not moved, No. 4 cylinder is
at top dead center on compression stroke.

5. Measure the valve clearance for intake side.

If the valve clearance is not as specified, loosen the rocker
arm lock nut and adjust the clearance using a thickness
gauge while turning the adjusting screw.

Standard value (cold engine): 0.10 mm (0.004 inch)

NOTE: Valve clearance check and adjustment is unnecessary
for exhaust side due to auto lash adjuster installed.

torque.

Tightening torque: 9

± 1 N⋅m (80 ± 9 in-lb)

7. Turn the crankshaft 360 degrees to line up the notch on the

crankshaft pulley with the "T" mark on the timing indicator.

8. Repeat steps 5 and 6 on other valves for clearance

adjustment.

9. Install the rocker cover.
10.Install the ignition coils.

7. TIMING BELT (REPLACE)

<2.4L ENGINE>

1. Remove the radiator condenser tank mounting bolts.
2. Move the radiator condenser tank to a place where it will not

be a hindrance when checking the generator and others belt
tension.

CAUTION

Check the generator and others belt tension after turning
the crankshaft clockwise one turn or more.
3. Make sure that the indicator mark on the generator drive belt

auto-tensioner is within the area marked with A in the
illustration.

4. If the mark is out of the area A, replace the generator and

others belt (Refer to

P.11A-21

).

NOTE: The generator and others belt tension check is not
necessary as the generator drive belt auto-tensioner is
adopted.

5. Tighten the radiator condenser tank mounting bolts to the

specified torque.
