1. Remove air cleaner hose along with upper cap on air cleaner and mass airflow meter. Remove intake air
connector for access to valve cover. Intake air connector fits between air cleaner hose and throttle body.
2. Disconnect spark plug wires from spark plugs. Disconnect engine wiring, clamps and PCV hose for
access to valve cover. Remove bolts, seal washers, valve cover and gasket.
3. Rotate crankshaft clockwise 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.
4. Ensure 1-dot and 2-dot timing marks on camshaft sprockets are aligned. See Fig. 14
. If timing marks are
not aligned, rotate crankshaft clockwise one full revolution (360 degrees) and realign crankshaft pulley
timin
g mark (groove) with "0" mark on timing chain cover.

5. With cylinder No. 1 at TDC on compression stroke, use feeler gauge to measure valve clearance between
valve lifter and camshaft on specified valves. Perform STEP 1. See Fig. 15
. Record valve clearance.
6. To check remaining valves, rotate crankshaft clockwise one full revolution (360 degrees) and realign
crankshaft pulley timing mark (groove) with "0" mark on timing chain cover. Using feeler gauge,
measure valve clearance on specified valves. Perform STEP 2. See Fig. 15
. Record valve clearance.

8. If valve clearance requires adjustment, rotate crankshaft so camshaft lobe on valve to be adjusted is facing
upward, awa
y from valve lifter. Rotate valve lifter so notch on valve lifter is toward spark plug.

9. Valve Clearance Adjuster (SST 09248-55040) is used to remove adjusting shim. Using SST "A" of valve
clearance adjuster, press valve lifter downward. See Fig. 16
. Install SST "B" between camshaft and valve
lifter with side marked with No. 9 at designated position. See Fig. 16
. Remove SST "A".

10. 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. 17
and Fig. 18 .
11. Install replacement adjusting shim. Recheck valve clearance. To install remaining components, reverse
removal procedure.
