8.

Remove adjusting shim using a small screwdriver and a mag-
netic hand.

9.

Determine replacement adjusting shim size following formula.

●

Using a micrometer determine thickness of removed shim
with measured at center.

●

Calculate thickness of new adjusting shim so valve clearance
comes within specified values.
R = Thickness of removed shim
N = Thickness of new shim
M = Measured valve clearance

Shims are available in 64 sizes from 2.32 mm (0.0913 in)
to 2.95 mm (0.1161 in) in steps of 0.01 mm (0.0004 in). Refer to 

EM-112, "Available Shims"

.

●

Select new shim with thickness as close as possible to calcu-
lated value.

10. Install new shim using a suitable tool.

●

Install with the surface on which the thickness stamped
is facing down.
