On-Vehicle Adjustments - 4-Cylinder
ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before performing any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or ignition systems, ensure engine mechanical condition
is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
Camry, Camry Solara, Celica & RAV4
1. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs and valve cover. Disconnect necessary hoses, control
cables and engine wiring clamps for removal of valve cover.
2. Disconnect engine wiring protector from rear of upper timing belt cover for access to valve cover if
necessary. Engine wiring protector is attached to bolts for upper timing belt cover. Remove engine wiring
protector from upper timing belt cover bolt on intake side of engine first, and then from upper timing belt
cover bolt on exhaust side of engine.
3. Note location of grommets between valve cover nuts and valve cover for installation reference. Grommets
should be installed in original location to prevent oil leakage. Remove valve cover nuts, grommets, valve
cover and gasket.
4. Rotate crankshaft clockwise (viewed from timing belt end of engine) until timing mark (groove) on
crankshaft pulley aligns with "0" mark on timing belt cover and cylinder No. 1 is at TDC on compression
stroke. Cylinder No. 1 is front cylinder at timing belt end of engine.
5. Ensure valve lifters on cylinder No. 1 are loose and valve lifters on cylinder No. 4 are tight. If valve
lifters are not as specified, rotate crankshaft clockwise one full revolution (360 degrees) and realign
crankshaft pulley timing mark (groove) with "0" mark on timing belt cover.
6. With cylinder No. 1 at TDC on compression stroke, use feeler gauge to check valve clearance between
valve lifter and camshaft on specified valves. Perform STEP 1. See Fig. 1
. Record valve clearance.
7. To check remaining valves, rotate crankshaft clockwise one full revolution (360 degrees) and realign
crankshaft pulley timing mark (groove) with "0" mark on timing belt cover. Using feeler gauge, measure
valve clearance on specified valves. Perform STEP 2. See Fig. 1
. Record valve clearance.
8. Ensure valve clearance is within specification. See VALVE CLEARANCE SPECIFICATIONS
(CAMRY, CAMRY SOLARA, CELICA & RAV4)table. NOTE: Check and adjust valve clearance with engine cold.

9. If valve clearance requires adjustment, rotate crankshaft so camshaft lobe on valve to be adjusted is facing
upward, away from valve lifter. Rotate valve lifter so notch on valve lifter is toward spark plug.
10. Valve Clearance Ad
juster (SST 09248-55040) is used to remove adjusting shim. Using SST "A" of valve
Application(1) In. (mm)

clearance adjuster, press valve lifter downward. See Fig. 2. Install SST "B" between camshaft and valve
lifter with side marked with No. 9 at designated position. See Fig. 2
. Remove SST "A".

11. Using small screwdriver and magnet, remove adjusting shim. Using micrometer, measure thickness of
adjusting shim removed. Using measured clearance and adjusting shim thickness, determine correct
thickness of adjusting shim to be used. See Fig. 5
and Fig. 6 . Install replacement adjusting shim.
Recheck valve clearance.
12. Before installing valve cover and gasket, apply sealant at specified areas on cylinder head. See Fig. 3
.
Install gasket and valve cover.
13. Install grommets in original location with marking on grommet aligned in designated area. See Fig. 4
.
Install and tighten valve cover nuts to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
. To install
remaining components, reverse removal procedure.

1. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs and valve cover. Disconnect necessary hoses and engine
wiring cover for removal of valve cover.
2. Remove valve cover bolts/nuts, seal washers, cable bracket, valve cover and gasket. Rotate crankshaft
clockwise (viewed from timing chain end of engine) until crankshaft pulley timing mark (groove) aligns
with "0" mark on timing chain cover and cylinder No. 1 is at TDC on compression stroke. Cylinder No. 1
is front cylinder at timing chain end of engine.
3. Ensure reference marks on camshaft sprockets are aligned and positioned in a straight line at top surface
on timing chain cover. See Fig. 7
. If reference marks are not as specified, rotate crankshaft clockwise one
full revolution (360 degrees) and realign crankshaft pulley timing mark (groove) with "0" mark on timing
chain cover and then recheck reference mark alignment.
