Valve Clearance Inspection Guide

Valve clearances should be checked when the engine is cold and adjusted if outside the standard value of 0.4mm. Piston number 1 or 6 should be at the top-dead-center of its compression stroke when checking clearances. Clearances are measured using a feeler gauge that can move in the gap but not loosely. The rocker arm adjusting screw lock nut should be tightened to 34 N·m.

!<Without flywheel PTO> I [Inspection]


• Bring piston No. 1 or piston No. 6 to the top-dead-centre (TDC) position
of its compression stroke. To do this, crank the engine until the "1.6"
1 6
mark [Link] on the flywheel is aligned with the pointer A in the fly­
wheel housing inspection window. (If the engine has a flywheel PTO,
align the pointer A with the "O" markinscribed on the torsional damper.)
NOTE
Pistons whose push rods are not pushing up their rockers are at
top-dead-centre (TDC) of their compression strokes.

• When piston No. 1 or piston No. 6 is at the TDC position of its compres­
sion stroke, measure the clearance 8 of every valve marked "O" in the
following table.

NOTE
To measure the clearance, insert a feeler gauge 1. The gauge
should be able to move in the gap, albeit not loosely. Accurate
measurements cannot be taken if the gauge moves loosely in the
gap.
