NOTE
• The cam must be at positions, "A" or "B",
when checking the valve clearance.
Clearance readings should not be taken
with the cam in any other position than
these two positions.
• The valve clearance should be taken when
each cylinder is at Top Dead Center (TDC)
of compression stroke.
• The clearance specification is for COLD
state.
• To turn the crankshaft for valve clearance
checking, be sure to use a wrench, and
rotate in the normal running direction.
