Measure and note the valve clearance values.

See information about specifications, refer to: ENGINE

Use: Feeler gauge

Calculate the required thickness of the valve tappet with the following formula:

Measurement of existing valve clearance (actual value) =

Required thickness of valve tappet =

Compare the measured valve clearance(s) with the specifications.

Measure the valve clearance and if necessary, adjust by installing new valve tappets.

Repeat the procedure as necessary until all valve clearances are within the specified tolerance.

Repeat the measurement for all cylinders.

ALL VEHICLES

NOTE:

This step is only necessary when installing a new component.

HINT: Measure the actual clearance between cam lobe and tappet by installing the tappet with the lowest height.
