Valve Clearance Adjustments
NOTE: To adjust valve clearance, apply engine oil to the
cam as well as to the adjusting shim (2) with the cylinder
head built on the cylinder block, give a few turns to the
camshaft by means of timing pulley tightening bolt, and
measure valve clearance when the nose of cam is just
opposite to maximum cam lift (1) as shown in illistration
below.

Valve Clearance Standard Value (cold)
Intake: 0.23 mm–0.33 mm
(0.0091 in–0.0130 in)
Exhaust: 0.25 mm–0.35 mm
(0.0098 in–0.0138 in)
Selection of Adjusting Shim
Shim to be selected = (Thickness of removed shim) +
(Valve clearance measurement – Standard valve)
Based on the above formula, the best suited shim should
be selected from 41 sorts of shim (differently thick at
0.02mm (0.0008 in) intervals from 2.40mm (0.0945 in)
through 3.2mm (0.1260 in) thick). Install the shim and
check valve clearance.
