Swift SOHC

  1. Remove rocker cover. Remove right side inner fender apron extension to enable timing marks to be seen. Align crankshaft pulley timing mark with TDC mark on timing belt cover.
  2. Remove distributor cap. Ensure rotor is pointing upward toward distributor hold-down bolt and to No. 1 terminal of distributor cap. If not as described, rotate crankshaft 360 degrees.
  3. Measure valve clearance between adjustment screw and valve stem using thickness gauge. Check intake valve clearance of cylinders No. 1 and 2 and exhaust valve clearance of cylinders No. 1 and 3. Turn crankshaft one complete revolution (360 degrees). Check intake valve clearance of cylinders No. 3 and 4 and exhaust valve clearance of cylinders No. 2 and 4.
  4. Ensure clearance is within specification. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS  table. If clearance adjustment is necessary, loosen lock nut and turn adjusting screw. Hold adjusting screw while tightening lock nut to 11-14 ft. lbs. (15-19 N.m). Recheck clearance.
