Valve adjustment

The valve adjustment procedure for the Arctic Cat 700 EFI is as follows:

1. Remove the valve timing inspection plug and the cylinder head cover.
2. Rotate the engine through two full revolutions using a bar. Stop when the engine is on the compression stroke and align the TDC (Top Dead Center) line on the starter clutch with the index mark on the crankcase.
3. Insert the valve adjuster dial into the tappet adjuster screw and turn it clockwise until it seats.
4. Holding the valve adjuster dial in place, use the valve adjuster handle to loosen the jam nut.
5. Turn the tappet adjuster screw clockwise until friction is felt.
6. Align the valve adjuster handle with a mark on the valve adjuster dial.
7. Hold the handle steady and rotate the valve adjuster dial counterclockwise to set the correct valve/tappet clearance. Each mark equals 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) of clearance.
8. Refer to the correct valve/tappet clearance specifications using a feeler gauge (in section FI039A, not included here).

Note: The 700 EFI uses shim-style valve adjustment, not screw and locknut, so the above procedure applies only if the engine has screw-type tappets. Otherwise, shims must be changed to adjust clearance.
