INSPECTION

NOTE:

Perform the following inspection after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts,

or if there are unusual engine conditions due to changes in valve clearance over time (starting, idling, and/or

noise).
1. Remove the engine room cover. Refer to 

EM-25, "Removal and Installation"

.

2. Remove the air cleaner and air duct assembly. Refer to 

EM-26, "Exploded View"

.

3. Remove rocker covers (RH and LH banks). Refer to 

EM-43, "Removal and Installation"

.

4. Measure the valve clearance as follows:
a. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.

• Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise to align timing mark (A)

(grooved line without color) with timing indicator (B).

• Make sure that intake and exhaust cam noses on No. 1 cylin-

der (engine front side of RH bank) are located as shown.

• If not, rotate crankshaft one revolution (360

°

) and align as

shown.

b. Measure the clearance between valve lifter and camshaft, using

feeler gauge.

ADJUSTMENT

• Perform adjustment depending on selected head thickness of valve lifter.
1. Measure the valve clearance. 
2. Remove camshaft. Refer to 

EM-78, "Removal and Installation"

.

3. Remove valve lifters at the locations that are out of the standard.
4. Measure the center thickness of removed valve lifters with

micrometer.

5. Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.

• Thickness of new valve lifter can be identified by stamp marks

on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).

Intake

Available thickness of valve lifter: 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-132, "Standard and Limit"

.

Exhaust

Available thickness of valve lifter: 25 sizes with range 7.88 to 8.36 mm (0.3102 to 0.3291 in) in steps of

0.02 mm (0.0008 in) (when manufactured at factory). Refer to 

EM-132, "Standard and Limit"

.

CAUTION:

Install identification letter at the end and top, “U” and “N”, at each of proper positions. (Be care-

ful of mis-installation between intake and exhaust.)

6. Install selected valve lifter.
7. Install camshaft. Refer to 

EM-78, "Removal and Installation"

.

8. Manually turn crankshaft pulley a few turns. 
9. Make sure that the valve clearances for cold engine are within the specifications by referring to the speci-

fied values.

10. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
11. Start the engine, and check for unusual noise and vibration.
