The valve clearance specification is different for intake and

nism is serviced, and 3) when the camshafts are removed for
servicing.
Valve clearance (when cold):
Standard: IN. : 0.08 – 0.18 mm (0.003 – 0.007 in)
EX.: 0.18 – 0.28 mm (0.007 – 0.011 in)
NOTE:
* The cam must be at positions, " or #, when checking or
adjusting the valve clearance. Clearance readings should not
be taken with the cam in any other position than these two
positions.
* The clearance specification is for COLD state.
* To turn the crankshaft for clearance checking, be sure to use a
wrench, and rotate in the normal running direction. All spark
plugs should be removed.
