NOTE:
There is a tendency for the clearance to de-
crease slightly when the lock nut is tightened. It is
suggested that you make the clearance adjustment
slightly on the loose side before tightening the lock
nut.
5.
Insert a 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) feeler gauge between
the rocker arm and valve cap and adjust the
clearance so there is a slight drag on the feeler
gauge when sliding it between the rocker arm and
valve cap. Tighten the valve adjusting screw lock
nut and recheck the clearance. The valve clear-
ance should be between 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.006
to 0.010 in.).
6.
Apply clean engine oil to the contact surface be-
tween the adjusting screw and push rod.
7.
Turn the crankshaft 180 degrees and make the
measurement and adjustment for the number
three cylinder. Then turn the crankshaft 180 de-
grees and make the measurement and adjust-
ment for the number four cylinder. Then turn the
crankshaft 180 degrees and make the measure-
ment and adjustment for the number 2 cylinder.
