Valve Clearance Adjustment
- Adjust valves when engine temperature is 100° F (38° C) or less. Remove valve cover. Rotate crankshaft so that No. 1 piston is on TDC at end of compression stroke. Timing marks should align. Adjust valve clearances on No. 1 cylinder.
- Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise 180° so that No. 3 piston is on TDC at end of compression stroke. Adjust valve clearances on No. 3 cylinder.
- Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise 180° and adjust valve clearances on No. 4 cylinder. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise 180° and adjust valve clearances on No. 2 cylinder.
