Valve Clearance Adjustment

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1995 Ford RV Cutaway, 1995 Ford Pickup, 1995 Ford F-Super Duty, 1995 Ford Econoline, and 1995 Ford Cutaway. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: Hydraulic valve lifters are used; no valve adjustment is required. If incorrect valve clearance is suspected, lifter must be collapsed before clearance can be checked.

Position each piston at TDC of compression stroke of cylinder to be checked. Using Lifter Bleed Down Wrench (T83T-6500-A), bleed lifters until lifter plunger bottoms. Check valve clearance. See COLLAPSED VALVE LIFTER CLEARANCE table. If clearances are not correct, check valve train components for wear or damage. Replace as necessary.
