VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
• Remove the valve lifters 1 and the pads
2.
NOTE:
• Place a rag in the timing chain space to
prevent pads from falling into the crank-
case.
• Identity each valve lifter and pad position
very carefully so that they can be rein-
stalled in their original place.
• Select the proper pad using the pad
selecting table.
