NOTE
Be sure when taking measurements using feeler gauge 3 that
some resistance is felt when inserting the gauge. If the gauge
can be inserted freely without any resistance, an accurate meas-
urement has not been obtained.
+ the measured value deviates from the limit, adjust as follows:
[Adjustment]
+ Adjust valve clearance A so that feeler gauge 3 encounters some
resistance when itis inserted. Do this by loosening lock nut 4 and
turning adjusting sorew 5.
+ After adjusting, hold adjusting screw § using screwdriver 6 and tighten
lock nut 4. Reinspect valve clearance A using feeler gauge 3.
+ When turning adjusting screw § on an engine that is installed, using a
E flat-biade screwdriver will make the work easier.
