  2.  Remove the 8 bolts, 2 nuts, cylinder head cover and gasket.

10. SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION

SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION


  1.  Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing mark 0 of the timing chain cover.
  2. ) Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing gear and sprocket are aligned with the timing marks of the bearing cap No. 1 and No. 2 as shown in the illustration.

11. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE

HINT: Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.

 INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE


(a) Check only the valve indicated on the left.

  1.  Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.
  2.  Record valve clearance measurements that are out of the specified range. These measurements will be used later to determine the size of the adjustment shim to be installed.

Valve clearance (Cold):

INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE


(b) Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 revolution (360 ) and set the No.4 cylinder to TDC/compression.

(c) Check only the valve indicated on the left.

NOTICE: Be sure not to turn the crankshaft without the chain tensioner.

(a) Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 revolution (360 ) and set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC/compression.

(b) Place paint marks on the timing chain and camshaft timing gear sprocket.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


(c) Remove the 2 bolts and chain tensioner.

(d) Remove the No. 2 camshaft.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1.  Fix the camshaft with a wrench and then loosen the sprocket bolt.

NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the valve lifter.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1. Uniformly loosen and remove the No. 2 camshaft's 10 bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration. Then remove the 5 bearing caps.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1. Raise the No. 2 camshaft and remove it. Then remove the sprocket bolt.
  2.  Remove the camshaft timing sprocket and the timing chain from the No. 2 camshaft.
  3.  Remove the camshaft timing sprocket from the timing chain.

(e) Remove the camshaft.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1.  Uniformly loosen and remove the camshaft's 10 bearing cap bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.

    Then remove the 5 bearing caps.

  2.  Remove the camshaft.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


(f) Tie the timing chain with a string.

NOTICE: Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing chain cover.

(g) Remove the valve lifters.

(h) Adjust the valve clearance.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1.  Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed lifter.
  2.  Calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


Valve clearance:

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


EXAMPLE: (Intake)
Measured valve clearance = 0.44 mm (0.0173 in.) 0.44 mm (0.0173 in.) - 0.24 mm (0.0094 in.) = 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) (Measured - Specification = Excess clearance) Used shim measurement = 5.30 mm (0.2087 in.) 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) + 5.30 mm (0.2087 in.) = 5.50 mm (0.2165 in.) (Excess clearance + Used shim = Ideal new shim) Closest new shim = 5.50 mm (0.2165 in.) = Shim No. "50"

  1.  Select a new lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


(i) Install the camshaft.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1.  Install the timing chain on the camshaft timing gear, with the paint mark aligned with the timing marks on the camshaft timing gear.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE


  1. Examine the front marks and numbers of the 5 bearing caps and install them. Then install the 10 bearing cap bolts. Uniformly tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in the illustration.

Torque: 30 NVm (301 kgfVcm, 22 ftVlbf) for bearing cap No. 1 9.0 NVm (92 kgfVcm, 80 in.Vlbf) for bearing cap No. 3

(j) Install the No. 2 camshaft.

ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
