Valve Clearance Adjustments
- Intake and exhaust valves are equipped with hydraulic valve adjusters and require no adjustment. Jet valve clearance; however, must be adjusted. Ensure head bolts are properly tightened before adjusting jet valves.
- Ensure engine is at normal operating temperature. Rotate crankshaft clockwise to position cylinder No. 1 on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust jet valves on cylinders No. 1 and 2.
- Rotate crankshaft 360 degrees to position cylinder No. 4 on TDC of compression stroke. Adjust jet valves on cylinders No. 3 and 4. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS table.
