    Valves Adjustment

    The procedures given in this section for valve lash adjustment are to be performed at
    the initial 38,000 km [24,000 mi] adjustment. Subsequent adjustments are to be
    performed at 77,000 km [48,000 mi] intervals.

    With a 15 mm wrench, remove the valve cover.

    1/2 Inch Drive, 3824591 Engine Barring Gear


     Locate Top Dead Center (TDC) for Cylinder Number 1 by barring engine slowly while
    pressing on the engine timing pin.  The barring gear inserts into the flywheel housing
    and engages the flywheel ring gear. The engine can then be rotated by hand using a 1/2
    inch ratchet or breaker bar.

    When the pin engages the hole in the camshaft gear, Cylinder Number 1 is at TDC on the
    compression stroke.

    CAUTION: To prevent damage to the engine or pin, be sure to disengage the pin after
    locating TDC
    Feeler Gauge  Intake Clearance: 0.254 mm [0.010 IN]  Exhaust Clearance: 0.508 mm
    [0.020 IN]  Check/set valves with engine cold – below 60° C [140° F].

    NOTE: The clearance is correct when some resistance is “felt” when the feeler gauge is
    slipped between the valve stem and the rocker lever.

    Six-Cylinder Engine Adjustment  

    14 mm wrench, Flatblade Screwdriver  

    Locate Top Dead Center (TDC) for Cylinder Number 1  Check/adjust the valves as
    indicated in the illustration (I = Intake, E = Exhaust).  Tighten the lock nut and measure
    the valve lash again.  Torque Value: 24 N•m [18 ft-lb]   Mark the pulley/vibration damper
    and rotate the crank-shaft 360 degrees.

    CAUTION: To prevent engine or pin damage, be sure timing pin is disengaged.


    Adjust the valves as indicated in the illustration.  Tighten the lock nut and measure the
    valve lash again.  Torque Value: 24 N•m [18 ft-lb]  

    With a 15 mm wrench, install the valve covers and tighten capscrews.  Torque Value:  24
