Mark a position 240 degrees (b) from a corner of the hexagonal
part of crankshaft pulley mounting bolt as shown in the figure.
Use the hexagonal part as a guide. 

• By referring to the figure, measure the valve clearances at

locations marked “

” as shown in the table below (locations

indicated in the figure).

• No. 3 cylinder at compression TDC

Rotate crankshaft 240 degrees clockwise (when viewed from engine front) to align No. 5 cylinder at TDC
of compression stroke.
NOTE:
Mark a position 240 degrees (b) from a corner of the hexagonal
part of crankshaft pulley mounting bolt as shown in the figure.

CAMSHAFT VALVE CLEARANCE

• By referring to the figure, measure the valve clearances at

locations marked “

×

” as shown in the table below (locations

indicated in the figure).

• No. 5 cylinder at compression TDC

3.

Perform adjustment or replacement if the measured value is out of the standard. 
• Refer to “CAMSHAFT (EXH) VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT”. (Exhaust side)
• Replace VVEL ladder assembly & cylinder head assembly. Refer to 

EM-83, "Exploded View"

. (Intake

side)

CAUTION:

Never adjust valve clearance on the intake side.
NOTE:
Since the valve lifter (INT) cannot be replaced by the piece, VVEL ladder assembly & cylinder head
assembly replacement are required.

CAMSHAFT (EXH) VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

• Perform adjustment depending on selected head thickness of valve lifter (EXH).

CAUTION:

Never adjust valve clearance on the intake side.

1.

Measure the valve clearance. Refer to “INSPECTION”.

2.

Remove VVEL ladder assembly and camshaft (EXH). Refer to 

EM-84, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

CAUTION:

Never loosen adjusting bolts and mounting bolts (black color) of VVEL ladder assembly.

3.

Remove valve lifter (EXH) at the locations that are out of the standard.

4.

Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters (EXH)
with a micrometer (A).

5.

Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter (EXH) thickness for replacement.

• Thickness of new valve lifter (EXH) can be identified by stamp

marks on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark 788T indicates 7.88 mm (0.3102 in) in thickness.

Available thickness of valve lifter (EXH): 27 sizes with range 7.88 to 8.40 mm (0.3102 to 0.3307 in) in
steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in) (when manufactured at factory). Refer to 

EM-139, "Camshaft"

.

6.

Install selected valve lifter (EXH).

7.

Install VVEL ladder assembly and camshaft (EXH). Refer to 

EM-84, "Disassembly and Assembly"

.

8.

Manually turn crankshaft pulley a few turns. 

9.

Check that the valve clearances for cold engine are within the specifications by referring to the specified
values. Refer to 

EM-17, "Inspection and Adjustment"

.

10. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal. 

11. Warm up the engine, and check for unusual noise and vibration.

1.

Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.

2.

Release fuel pressure. Refer to 

EC-601, "Inspection"

.

3.

Disconnect fuel pump fuse (1) from IPDM E/R (2) to avoid fuel
injection during measurement.

4.

Remove engine cover with power tool. Refer to 

EM-24, "Exploded View"

.

5.

Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to 

EM-45, "Exploded View"

.

6.

Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).

7.

Install compression gauge with an adapter (commercial service
tool) onto spark plug hole.

• Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plug

hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.

8.

With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge
pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.

CAUTION:

• Measure a six-cylinder under the same conditions since a measurement depends on measure-

ment conditions (engine water temperature, etc.).

• Always use a fully changed battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the

engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
