Valve Clearance Adjustment - Polaris RZR XP Service Manual

VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT

CAUTION
Do not rotate the engine backwards. The timing chain
may jump teeth and lead to poor performance and/or
severe engine damage.
NOTICE
Always inspect valve clearance prior to final engine
assembly.
IMPORTANT
The engine has a 270° offset crank. There will always
be at least one valve open at any position of the crank.
Turn the camshaft until two valves are not loaded.
1. Remove the valve cover (if it is not already off).
2. Rotate the camshaft until the cam lobes above the
valves you are inspecting are facing up
3. Measure the valve clearance
(feeler) gauge. Record the measurement if clearance
is out of specification.
