5. If it is necessary to make an adjustment,
loosen the adjusting screw lock nut ( ) and
turn the adjusting screw so there is a slight
resistance when the feeler gauge is inserted.
After completing the adjustment, tighten the
adjusting screw lock nut while holding the
adjusting screw to prevent it from turning.
Finally, recheck the clearance to make sure
that the adjustment has not been disturbed.
