- Turn the crankshaft clockwise so that the cams on the camshafts requiring valve clearance adjustment are positioned straight up.
- Remove the camshaft cap bolts as necessary. Remove only one pair of cap bolts at a time. Reinstall the cap bolts before removing the next pair. A: For EX side No. 1, 2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal. B: For IN side No. 1, 2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal. C: For EX side No. 2, 3, 4 cylinder adjustment shim removal. C: For IN side No. 2, 3, 4 cylinder adjustment shim removal. NOTE: For EX side No.2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal, remove bolts either A or C. For IN side No.2, 3 cylinder adjustment shim removal, remove bolts either B or D.
- Install the SSTs on the camshaft using the camshaft cap bolt holes. Tightening Torque 11.3-14.2 N.m {115-145 kgf.cm, 100-125 in.lbf}
- Align the marks on the SSTs (shaft and shaft clamp).
- Tighten bolts A to secure the SST (shaft).
- Face the SST (body) outside of the cylinder head, and mount it on the SST (shaft) at the point of the adjustment shim to be replaced.
- Face the notch of the tappet so that a fine screwdriver can be installed.
- Set the SST on the tappet by its notch.
- Tighten bolt B to secure the SST (body).
- Tighten bolt C, and press down the tappet.
- Using a fine screwdriver, pry up the adjustment shim through the notch on the tappet. Remove the shim by using a magnet.
- Select proper adjustment shim. New Adjustment Shim = Removed Shim Thickness + Measured Valve Clearance - Standard Valve Clearance (IN: 0.21 mm {0.0111 in}, EX: 0.31 mm {0.0122 in})
- Push the selected shim into the tappet.
- Loosen bolt C to allow the tappet to move up.
- Loosen bolt B and remove the SST (body).
- Remove the SSTs and tighten the camshaft cap bolts. Tightening Torque 11.3-14.2 N.m {115-145 kgf.cm, 100-125 in.lbf}
- Inspect for the valve clearance. (Refer to «VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT»(ref-182481-S25829294082005080800000) , «VALVE CLEARANCE INSPECTION»(ref-182481-S19788162222005080800000) .)
