(1) Adjust the valve clearance in the firing order at TDC of
compression stroke by turning crankshaft in the normal
direction.
(2) On each cylinder, the piston is at the top dead center on
compression stroke, when corresponding cylinder num-
ber stamped on damper is aligned with pointer, and
inlet valves and exhaust valves are not pushed with
push rod.
(3) Insert a thickness gauge between rocker arm and bridge
cap to measure the clearance. Tighten or loosen the
screw to adjust the clearance where the movement of
thickness gauge becomes slightly restricted.
(4) After the adjustment tighten the lock nut firmly to the
specified torque. Then, check the clearance again.
