Valve Stem Installed Height
CAUTION:
The valve stems must be at the correct height for the hydraulic valve lifters to operate correctly.
- Measure valve stem installed height after refinishing valve or seat. Position the Camshaft Adjustment Tool (999 5222) in the camshaft bearing recesses. See Fig 1.
- Measure the height of the valve stem using a vernier caliper through the hole in the camshaft adjustment tool. See CYLINDER HEAD in ENGINE SPECIFICATIONS - 2.3L & 2.4L, 5-CYLINDER article.
