NOTE
Measure valve clearance with the engine cold.
- Before servicing the vehicle, refer to the Precautions section.
- Drain the cooling system.
- Remove or disconnect the following:
Negative battery cableIgnition coilsValve covers - Set the engine to the top of the compression stroke with the valves closed for the cylinder to be measured.
- Check the valve clearance. The valve clearance specifications are as follows:
Intake: 0.006-0.010 in. (0.15-0.25mm)Exhaust: 0.010-0.014 in. (0.25-0.35mm) - Record the measurements for each valve.
- When all valve clearances have been measured, remove the camshafts.
- Remove the valve shims and measure them. Note this measurement along with the clearance measurement recorded earlier.
- Using the valve clearance and shim thickness measurements, find replacement shims in the Adjusting Shim Selection charts.
- Install or connect the following:
Replacement valve shimsCamshaftsValve coversIgnition coilsNegative battery cable - Fill the cooling system.
- Start the engine and check for leaks.
