Adjust the valve clearance as follows:
1. Rotate the crankshaft until the piston is at top dead center
(TDC) of its compression stroke. Both valves should be closed.
2. Loosen the rocker arm jam nut.
3. Use an alien wrench to turn the pivot ball stud while checking
the clearance between the rocker arm and the valve stem with
a feeler gauge.

4. When valve clearance is correct, hold the pivot ball stud with
the alien wrench while tightening the rocker arm jam nut with a
crow's foot. Tighten the jam nut to the specified torque. After
tightening the jam nut, recheck the valve clearance to make
