5) Set #1 cylinder piston to top dead center of compres-
sion stroke by rotating crankshaft pulley clockwise.
NOTE:
When arrow mark on camshaft sprocket (RH) comes
exactly to the top, #1 cylinder piston is brought to the top
dead center of compression stroke.
B2M1229A
6) Measure #1 cylinder valve clearance by using thickness
gauge.
CAUTION:

Insert the thickness gauge in as horizontal a direc-
tion as possible with respect to the valve stem end
face.

Measure exhaust valve clearances while lifting-up
the vehicle.
Valve clearance:
Intake: 0.20±0.02 mm (0.0079±0.0008 in)

8) Similar to measurement procedures used for #1
cylinder, measure #2, #3 and #4 cylinder valve clearances.
NOTE:

Be sure to set cylinder pistons to their respective top
dead centers on compression stroke before measuring
valve clearances.

centers on compression stroke, turn crankshaft pulley
clockwise 90°at a time starting with arrow mark on right-
hand camshaft sprocket facing up.
