  1. Remove the intake manifold (see «REMOVAL»(ref-243299-S01672347802006082300000) ).
  2. Remove the cylinder head covers (see «CYLINDER HEAD COVER REMOVAL»(ref-243305-S39835667762006082300000) ).
  3. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 1 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  4. Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you're going to check. Valve Clearance Intake: 0.20-0.24 mm (0.008-0.009 in.) Exhaust: 0.28-0.32 mm (0.011-0.013 in.) REAR FRONT
  5. Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw and the end of the valve stem on No. 1 cylinder, and slide it back and forth; you should feel a slight amount of drag.
  6. If you feel too much or too little drag, loosen the lock nut (A), and turn the adjusting screw (B) until the drag on the feeler gauge is correct.
  7. Torque the locknut and recheck the clearance. Repeat the adjustment, if necessary.
  8. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 4 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  9. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on No. 4 cylinder.
  10. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 2 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  11. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on No. 2 cylinder.
  12. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 5 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  13. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on No. 5 cylinder.
  14. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 3 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  15. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on No. 3 cylinder.
  16. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 6 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  17. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on No. 6 cylinder.
  18. Install the cylinder head covers (see «CYLINDER HEAD COVER INSTALLATION»(ref-243305-S03245468552006082300000) ).
  19. Install the intake manifold (see «INSTALLATION»(ref-243299-S31351122112006082300000) ).

Note. Adjust the valves only when the cylinder head temperature is less than 100°F (38°C).

  1. Remove the cylinder head covers (see «CYLINDER HEAD COVER REMOVAL»(ref-243305-S37187498242006082300000) ).
  2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 1 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  3. Select the correct thickness feeler gauge for the valves you're going to check. Valve Clearance Intake: 0.20-0.24 mm (0.008-0.009 in.) Exhaust: 0.28-0.32 mm (0.011-0.013 in.)
  4. Insert the feeler gauge (A) between the adjusting screw and the end of the valve stem on the No. 1 cylinder, and slide it back and forth; you should feel a slight amount of drag.
  5. If you feel too much or too little drag, loosen the lock nut, and turn the adjusting screw until the drag on the feeler gauge is correct.
  6. While holding the adjusting screw with the screw driver, tighten the lock nut and recheck the clearance. Repeat the adjustment, if necessary. Specified Torque Front: 14 N.m (1.4 kgf.m, 10 lbf.ft) Apply new engine oil to the nut threads. Rear: 20 N.m (2.0 kgf.m, 14 lbf.ft)
  7. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 4 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  8. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on the No. 4 cylinder.
  9. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 2 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  10. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on the No. 2 cylinder.
  11. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 5 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  12. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on the No. 5 cylinder.
  13. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 3 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  14. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on the No. 3 cylinder.
  15. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise. Align the pointer (A) on the front upper cover with the No. 6 piston TDC mark (B) on the front camshaft pulley.
  16. Check and, if necessary, adjust the valve clearance on the No. 6 cylinder.
  17. Install the cylinder head covers (see «CYLINDER HEAD COVER INSTALLATION»(ref-243305-S02060717252006082300000) ).
