10) Measure the clearance of intake valve and ex-
haust valve using thickness gauge (A).
NOTE:
• Measure it within the range of ±30° for specified
position that shown in the figure.
• Measure it in low lift cam for intake side.
• Insert the thickness gauge in direction as hori-
zontal as possible with respect to the valve lifter.

• If the measured value is not within standard, take
notes of the value in order to adjust the valve clear-
ance later on.
11) If necessary, adjust the valve clearance. <Ref.
to ME(H6DO)-29, ADJUSTMENT, Valve Clear-
ance.>
12) Further turn the crank pulley clockwise and
then measure the valve clearances again.
13) After inspection, install the related parts in the

1. INTAKE SIDE
CAUTION:
• Adjustment of valve clearance should be per-
formed while engine is cold.
• Do not wear gloves during removal and in-
stallation of valve lifter.
• Do not use the valve lifter which got high im-
pact due to drop, etc.
• When installing the valve lifter, align the anti-
rotation of valve lifter with groove on cylinder
head, and then insert the valve lifter.
1) Measure all valve clearances.
<Ref. to ME(H6DO)-28, INSPECTION, Valve
Clearance.>
NOTE:
Record each valve clearance after it has been
measured.
2) Remove the camshaft. <Ref. to ME(H6DO)-56,
REMOVAL, Camshaft.>
3) Remove the valve lifter.
4) Remove the shim from valve lifter.
5) Check the thickness of shim by stamped mark
