  1. Measure all valve clearances. Refer to «INSPECTION»(ref-208375-S29256549682005120700000) . NOTE: Record each valve clearance after it has been measured.
  2. Remove the camshaft. Refer to «REMOVAL»(ref-208375-S09963510432005120700000) .
  3. Remove the valve lifter.
  4. Measure the thickness of valve lifter with a micrometer.
  5. Select a valve lifter of suitable thickness using measured valve clearance and valve lifter thickness, by referring to the following table.
  6. Inspect all valves for clearance again at this stage. If the valve clearance is not correct, repeat the procedure over again from the first step.
  7. After inspection, install the related parts in the reverse order of removal.

  28. Remove the engine from vehicle. Slightly raise the engine. Raise the transmission with garage jack. Move the engine horizontally until the mainshaft is withdrawn from clutch cover. Slowly move the engine away from engine compartment. NOTE: Be careful not to damage adjacent parts or body panels with crank pulley, oil pressure gauge, etc.
  29. Remove the front cushion rubbers.
