3.

Remove intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to 

EM-39, "TIMING CHAIN"

  .

4.

Crank the engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. End crank after
checking.

WARNING:

Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belt, idler pul-
ley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).

CAUTION:

Engine oil may squirt from intake valve timing control sole-
noid valve installation hole during cranking. Use a shop
cloth to prevent the engine components and the vehicle. Do
not allow engine oil to get on rubber components such as
drive belt or engine mount insulators. Immediately wipe off
any splashed engine oil.

Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve if engine oil does not
come out from intake valve timing control cover oil hole. Refer to 

LU-4, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM"

  .

5.

Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.

Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to 

LU-4, "LUBRICATION SYSTEM"

  .

6.

After inspection, install removed parts.

Valve Clearance

INSPECTION

Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance (engine starting, idling, and/or noise). 

1.

Remove rocker cover (right and left bank) with power tool. Refer to 

EM-37, "Removal and Installation"

 .

2.

Turn crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when
viewed from engine front) to align TDC identification notch (with-
out paint mark) with timing indicator.

3.

At this time, make sure that the both intake and exhaust cam
noses of No. 1 cylinder (top front on left bank) face outside.

If they do not face outside, turn crankshaft pulley by 360
degrees once more.

4.

Measure the clearance between valve lifter and camshaft with a
feeler gauge.

Valve clearance:

Unit: mm (in)

*:Approximately 80

°

C (176

°

F)

5.

By referring to the figure, measure valve clearances at locations
marked X as shown in the table below (locations indicated with
black arrow in figure) with a feeler gauge.
NOTE:
Firing order 1-8-7-3-6-5-4-2

No.1 cylinder compression TDC

6.

Turn crankshaft pulley clockwise by 270 degrees from the posi-
tion of No. 1 cylinder compression TDC to obtain No. 3 cylinder
compression TDC.

By referring to the figure, measure valve clearances at locations
marked X as shown in the table below (locations indicated with
white arrow in figure).

8.

Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise (when view from engine
front) by 90 degrees from the position of No. 3 cylinder compres-
sion TDC to align No. 6 cylinder at TDC of its compression
stroke. 

By referring to the figure, measure valve clearances at loca-
tions marked “

ADJUSTMENT

NOTE:
Adjust valve clearance while engine is cold.
1.

Turn crankshaft, to position cam nose on camshaft that must be
adjusted upward.

2.

Thoroughly wipe off engine oil around adjusting shim using a
rag.

3.

Using a extra-fine screwdriver, turn the round hole of the adjust-
ing shim in the direction of the arrow.

CAUTION:

Perform (the above procedure) while camshaft do not con-
tact with adjusting shim.

4.

Compress valve spring by snapping camshaft using the cam-
shaft pliers (SST), by pulling camshaft to the same direction of
the arrow and by pushing valve lifter down.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage cam surface with the camshaft pli-
ers.

5.

Place the lifter stopper (SST) between camshaft and the edge of
valve lifter to retain valve lifter.

CAUTION:

The lifter stopper must be placed as close to camshaft
bracket as possible.

Be careful not to damage cam surface with the lifter stop-
per.

6.

Remove the camshaft pliers (SST).

CAUTION:

When returning the camshaft pliers quickly, the lifter stopper (SST) hit and damages the journal
portion of camshaft. Therefore turn the camshaft pliers slowly.

7.

Blow air into the hole to separate adjusting shim from valve lifter.

CAUTION:

When blowing, use goggles to protect your eye.
