INSPECTION




VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT


caution The crankshaft should always be rotated clockwise.

1.Align the camshaft sprocket timing marks and set the No. 1 cylinder at compression stroke top dead centre.



2.For the portions with the arrows shown below, measure and adjust the valve clearances by using the following procedures.
<Inlet side>
    1.) Insert the special tool valve adjusting feeling gauge (MB992852) between the valve stem and the adjusting screw.
    2). Adjust the clearance between the valve stem and adjusting screw to be within the standard value.
Standard value: 0.14 ± 0.03 mm
caution Pay special attention that the tightening torque is not beyond this valve. If the tightening torque is beyond the valve, the valve stem would possibly bend.

    3.)While holding the adjusting screw with a screwdriver to prevent it from turning, tighten the lock nut to the specified torque using the special tool valve adjusting socket (MB991477).
Tightening torque: 9 ± 1 N·m

<Exhaust side>
    1.)Using a thickness gauge, adjust the clearance between the cam and the roller.
3.Standard value: 0.16 ± 0.03 mm
caution Pay special attention that the tightening torque is not beyond this valve. If the tightening torque is beyond the valve, the valve stem would possibly bend.

    2.)While holding the adjusting screw with a screwdriver to prevent it from turning, tighten the lock nut to the specified torque using the special tool(MB992046), valve adjusting socket.
4.Tightening torque: 9.8 ± 1 N·m
5.Turn the crankshaft 360° clockwise to bring No. 4 cylinder to the compression stroke top dead centre position.

6.For the portions with the arrows shown below, measure and adjust the valve clearances by using the same procedures as ones in the Step 2.
