sprockets for intake and exhaust valves are not
within the range A in the illustration at left.
If the timing mark is within range A, turn the
camshaft sprocket to move the timing mark to the
area closest to the range A.
Caution
In range A, the cam lobe on the camshaft lifts
the valve through the rocker arm and the
camshaft sprocket is apt to rotate by reaction
force of the valve spring. Therefore, be careful
not to have the finger pinched between the
sprockets.
