between the valve rocker and the heel (lowest portion) of
the cam. If the gauge slides in and out with some light
drag felt, the valve does not require any adjustment.
If the gauge is hard to insert or withdraw, the valve is too
tight. Similarly if the gauge slides in and out with no resis
tance, the valve is too loose. To correct either of these
undesirable conditions, loosen the jam nut of the adjuster
and loosen or tighten the adjuster using a snug fitting
straight blade screwdriver. Slide the feeler gauge back
and forth between the rocker and cam until light resis
tance is felt. Hold the adjuster with the screwdriver and
tighten the jam nut with a box wrench. Confirm the
adjustment using the feeler gauge and readjust as nec
essary.
Manually rotate the engine until the cam lobe for the next
valve is in the fully down position and check/adjust the
valve as previously described. Repeat the process with
the remaining two valves.
