CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
CAUTION:
To prevent burns, do not touch the engine, exhaust manifold or other high temperature components while the engine is hot.
Note
When replacing the parts in the following chart (A), replace the No. 1 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 2 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 3 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 4 injection pipe sub-assembly and/or fuel inlet pipe sub-assembly with new ones.
| Replaced Parts (A) | Pipes Requiring New Replacement |
|---|---|
|
|
|
Fuel inlet pipe sub-assembly |
After removing the No. 1 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 2 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 3 injection pipe sub-assembly, No. 4 injection pipe sub-assembly and fuel inlet pipe sub-assembly, clean them with a brush and compressed air.
Tech Tips
The injector assemblies do not need to be removed when inspecting the valve clearance.
PROCEDURE
REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSEMBLY
SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
| *a | Matchmark |
Align the matchmarks of the crankshaft pulley and timing gear cover by rotating the crankshaft clockwise.
Tech Tips
Make sure that both cam lobes (intake side and exhaust side) of the No. 1 cylinder face upward.
INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
| *a | Front |
| *b | Exhaust |
| *c | Intake |
Check only the valves indicated.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft sub-assembly.
| Standard Valve Clearance (Cold) | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Write down any valve clearance measurements that are not within the specified range. These measurements will be used later to determine the size of the adjustment valve lifter to be installed.
Turn the crankshaft 360° to set the No. 4 cylinder to TDC/compression.
| *a | Front |
| *b | Exhaust |
| *c | Intake |
Check only the valves indicated.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft sub-assembly.

Write down any valve clearance measurements that are not within the specified range. These measurements will be used later to determine the size of the adjustment valve lifter to be installed.
ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
Remove the camshaft sub-assemblies.
Remove the valve lifters.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed valve lifter.
Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance is within the specified range.
| A | B | C |
|---|---|---|
| New valve lifter thickness | Used valve lifter thickness | Measured valve clearance |
| New valve lifter thickness |
|---|
| Intake: A = B + (C - 0.25 mm (0.00984 in.)) |
| Exhaust: A = B + (C - 0.40 mm (0.0157 in.)) |
Select a new valve lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.
Tech Tips
Valve lifters are available in 35 sizes in increments of 0.02 mm (0.000787 in.), from 5.06 mm (0.199 in.) to 5.74 mm (0.226 in.).
Install the selected valve lifter.
