Work Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
  1. Remove camshaft. Refer to Removal and Installation .
  2. Remove valve lifters at the locations that are out of the standard.
  3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters with a suitable tool (A).

  4. Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.

    Valve lifter thickness calculation:

    t = t 1 + (C 1 - C 2 )

    t

    = Valve lifter thickness to be replaced

    t 1

    = Removed valve lifter thickness

    C 1

    = Measured valve clearance

    C 2

    = Standard valve clearance:

    Intake

    : 0.31 mm (0.0122 in)

    Exhaust

    : 0.32 mm (0.0126 in)

    • Thickness of new valve lifter (B) can be identified by stamp mark (A) on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).

    • Stamp mark \"302\" indicates 3.02 mm (0.1189 in) in thickness.
    NOTE: Available thickness of valve lifter: 26 sizes range 3.00 to 3.50 mm (0.1181 to 0.1378 in) in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) (when manufactured at factory). Refer to Service Data .
  5. Install the selected valve lifter.
  6. Install camshaft. Refer to Removal and Installation .
  7. Install timing chain and related parts. Refer to Removal and Installation .
  8. Manually rotate crankshaft pulley a few rotations.
  9. Check that the valve clearance is within the standard. Refer to How to Check .
  10. Installation of the remaining parts is in the reverse order of removal.
  11. Warm up the engine, and check for unusual noise and vibration.
