VALVE INSPECTION
VALVE ADJUSTMENT
Powertrain
Inspect the valve clearance with the crankshaft at TDC
and camshaft-timing pulley is aligned with the timing
mark on the bearing cap, similar to timing when
replacing the timing belt.
In this position inspect the following valves #1 cylinder
intake and exhaust, #2 intake and # 3 exhaust.
Turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution (360°) and
check the remaining values: #2 exhaust, #3 intake,
#4 exhaust and intake.
Refer to KSIS for specs with engine cold (68° F).
Measure valve clearance first. Record the value for
calculations later. Adjust the intake and exhaust
clearance with the cam lobe pointing away from the
MLA shim.
