This lab experiment aims to demonstrate how to properly adjust the inlet and outlet valve clearances in an internal combustion engine to the manufacturer's specifications. Adjusting the clearances to the optimum levels specified by the manufacturer ensures the engine runs efficiently and functions normally. Not adjusting the clearances could cause the valves to become non-functional and prevent the engine from starting even if other parts are in good condition.

The objectives of carrying this lab experiment is to demonstrate the
procedures and techniques necessary to adjust both the inlet and outlet valve clearance in IC engine to the optimum level. This optimum level is usually determined by the manufacturers. So, most of the time the procedure is carried out with the objective of adjusting the valve clearance to the manufacturer specification. By doing so we can make sure that the engine efficiency remains at its optimum level and is operating its normal function properly. Failing to do so will probably lead to valves being non-functional causing the engine to become “unable” to start even when every other part of the engine are in perfect condition.
