Valve Clearance Adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Mazda B3000 and 2001 Mazda B3000. 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. When valve and/or valve seat is machined, valve clearance is reduced and may cause improper valve operation. Collapse valve lifter to check clearance.
  1. Position piston No. 1 at TDC of compression stroke. Slowly apply pressure until valve lifter is completely collapsed on intake valve No. 1.
  2. Measure clearance between rocker arm and tip of valve stem while holding lifter in collapsed position. If clearance is not within specification, replace valve, grind valve stem or replace other components as necessary. See COLLAPSED VALVE LIFTER SPECIFICATIONS  table.
