4. Measure the valve clearances marked with arrows shown in 

the illustration.
A: When Number1 cylinder is on the top dead center of 
compression stroke.
B: When Number4 cylinder is on the top dead center of 
compression stroke.
NOTE: The valve clearance adjustment at the exhaust side 
is not necessary because the auto lash adjuster exists.

5. Using a thickness gauge, adjust the clearance between the 

valve stem end and the adjusting screw.

Standard value: 0.07 

− 0.13 mm (0.003 − 0.005 inch)

6. Hold the adjusting screw not rotating through a driver and 

then tighten the rock nut.

7. Rotate the crankshaft one time clockwise and then align the 

timing mark with the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket. 
(Place Number 4 cylinder on the top dead center of 
compression stroke.)

8. Adjust the valve clearance for the rest of the valves.
9. Install the rocker cover and ignition coil.

1. Tighten the nuts on the left bank to 6.5 

± 1.5 N⋅m (58 ± 13 

in-lb).

2. Tighten the nuts on the right bank to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 22 

± 1 N⋅m (16 ± 1 ft-lb)

3. Tighten the nuts on the left bank to the specified torque.

Tightening torque: 22 

± 1 N⋅m (16 ± 1 ft-lb)

4. Tighten the nuts on the right bank and those on the left bank 

again in that order.

Tightening torque: 22 

± 1 N⋅m (16 ± 1 ft-lb)

.

>>B<< INJECTOR INSTALLATION

1. Apply clean gasoline to the O-ring.
2. Insert the injector into the fuel rail.
3. Make sure the injector rotates smoothly. If not, remove the 

injector to check the O-ring for damage, and replace the 
O-ring if necessary. Then reinsert the injector and check that
