SR20 Solid Pivot (※Not for use with N14 GTI-R)
Solid Pivot Item Number: 163003
Thank you for purchasing TOMEI products。
In order to make cam clearance maintenance-free, and
achieve operation sound reduction, hydraulic lash
adjuster is adopted to SR20 engine. However, when
aiming at high rotation and a high output by engine
modification, it is important to improve the reliability of
head parts and to make valve drive correctly as the cam
profile. Accordingly, it is necessary to eliminate the
function of lash adjuster.
TOMEI adopt solid pivot system to enable cam clearance adjustment, while keeping total height of pivot of each cylinder
fixed. Thereby, it is possible to build much precise head system in shorter time compare to the others. Moreover,
improvement in reliability and the low price were realized at the same time by having reduced the number of parts.

Cam Clearance Adjustments
Note
Please follow N-14 Pulsar GTI-R repair book A011018J for adjustment of cam clearance
(1)As shown in the left figure, turn the
Camshaft camshaft so that the round part of the
cam lobe is in contact with the rocker
arm
Rocker arm
(2)Remove the cam oilers
Tighten the cam brackets to
specified torque
(3) As shown in the left figure, use the
Nissan tool Nissan tool KV10115400 to compress
the valve spring by pulling the tool
forward
***If you do not have the Nissan tool
Magnet you must remove the camshafts
With the valve spring retainer lowered,
use a magnetic wand to remove the shim

with the solid lifter kit. Please purchase
them beforehand.)

Directly above (5) Measuring Cam clearance
Camshaft -As shown in the left figure, turn the
camshaft so that the round part of the
cam lobe is in contact
Rocker arm -Insert 2 gauges stacked on each
other in between the cam lobe and
rocker pad
2 gauges -Measure the clearance at both ends
of the rocker pad as shown in the left
and record

Measuring point Reason for using 2 gauges
Gauges do not go in parallel to the structure
*Thicker gauge has high rigidity and does not bend
*When a thin gauge is used 3 or more times, error increases

(6)Cam Clearance Adjustment
Record the difference between the clearance measured and the desired clearance
Measured clearance – Desired clearance = The difference you record
Nissan Motor Recommends clearance of: 0.14~0.17mm (when cold)
For example: Measured clearance (0.27) – Set Clearance (0.16) = 0.11 What you
record
Shim thickness
t=Cam
Clearance
Test shim IN=2.80
EX=2.70
When thinner shims are needed When thicker shims are needed
Shim is too thick Shim is too thin
In order to adjust cam clearance to the desired level, you need to increase or decrease the
shim size with consideration to lever ratio of the rocker arm (constant 1.43)
(1)Shim thickness calculation guide Shim sizes Guide sizes
Difference * (constant) 1.43 = Adjustment value
For example, difference 0.11 * 1.43 = 0.1573
*When making the clearance smaller
Thickness of present shim + adjustment value =
Shim needed
For example, 2.8+0.16=2.96
*When making the clearance larger
Thickness of present shim - adjustment value =
Shim needed
For example, 2.8-0.16=2.64
(2) Selection of shim and guide size
The closest thickness to 2.96mm is selected
※Shim and guides have different scale
Please order the necessary thickness determined
from calculation above. Please turn to the next
page for item numbers.

(7) Verification of Cam Clearance
Please install the shim that you ordered and measure the cam clearance for the second time.
Adjust cam clearance again if necessary. As for shim or guide sizes that are not listed in the
chart, use a grindstone to adjust the thickness
