11. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise 90° from the position of No.
3 cylinder compression TDC (clockwise by 360 ° from the posi-
tion of No. 1 cylinder compression TDC) to measure the intake
and exhaust valve clearances of No. 6 cylinder and the exhaust
valve clearance of No. 2 cylinder.
12. If out of specifications, adjust as necessary. Refer to EM-58, "
ADJUSTMENT" .
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
Perform adjustment depending on the selected head thickness of the valve lifter.
The specified valve lifter thickness is the dimension at normal temperatures. Ignore dimensional differ-
ences caused by temperature. Use the specifications for hot engine condition to adjust.
1. Remove the camshaft. Refer to EM-46, "
REMOVAL" .
2. Remove the valve lifters at the locations that are out of specification.
3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters using suitable tool.
4. Use the equation below to calculate the valve lifter thickness for replacement.
Valve lifter thickness calculation:
Thickness of replacement valve lifter = t1+ (C1 - C2)
t1 = Thickness of removed valve lifter
C1 = Measured valve clearance
C2= Standard valve clearance:
Thickness of a new valve lifter can be identified by stamp
marks on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark N788 indicates 7.88 mm (0.3102 in) in thickness.
Available thickness of valve lifter: 25 sizes with range 7.88 to
8.36 mm (0.3102 to 0.3291 in) in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
(when manufactured at factory). Refer to EM-106, "
Available
Valve Lifter" .

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Diameter
Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2
exceeds the limit, replace the bolt with a new one.
If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than d2, use
it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new cylinder head gasket.
2. Install the cylinder head. Follow the steps below to tighten the
bolts in the numerical order shown.
CAUTION:
If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters
before installation. Refer to EM-65, "
Cylinder Head Bolts
Diameter" .
a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of the bolts.
b. Measure the tightening angle using Tool.
CAUTION:
Measure the tightening angle using Tool. Do not measure
visually.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal. Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.18 mm (0.0071 in)
