| *1 | Timing Mark |
| *2 | Paint Mark |
| *3 | Groove |
Turn the crankshaft pulley until the groove and the timing mark "0" on the timing chain cover are aligned.
Check that each timing mark on the camshaft timing gear and sprocket is aligned with each timing mark located on the No. 1 and No. 2 bearing caps as shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360°) to align the timing marks as illustrated.
Place paint marks on the chain in alignment with the timing marks on the camshaft timing gear and camshaft timing sprocket.
CHECK VALVE CLEARANCE
| *1 | No. 1 Cylinder TDC/Compression |
Check only the valves indicated in the illustration.
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.
| Standard Valve Clearance (Cold) | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Record any out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve clearance lifters.
Turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and set the No. 4 cylinder to TDC/compression.
| *1 | No. 4 Cylinder TDC/Compression |

Remove the camshaft and No. 2 camshaft Click here.
Remove the valve lifters.
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed valve lifters.
Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance comes within the specified values.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
| for Intake |
|---|
| D = C - 0.24 mm (0.00945 in.) |
| for Exhaust |
|---|
| D = C - 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.) |
Example (for Intake):
5.250 mm (0.2067 in.) (B) + 0.16 mm (0.00630 in.) (D) (0.40 mm (0.0158 in.) (C) - 0.24 mm (0.00945 in.)) = 5.410 mm (0.2130 in.) (A)
Tech Tips
Replace the 5.250 mm (0.2067 in.) lifter (B) with a new No. 42 lifter.
Select a new lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.
Tech Tips
Lifters are available in 35 sizes in increments of 0.020 mm (0.000787 in.), from 5.060 to 5.740 mm (0.1992 to 0.2260 in.).
The identification number inside the valve lifters shows the first 2 decimal places of the thickness value (the illustration shows 5.420 mm (0.2134 in.)).
