Valve Clearance

VALVE CLEARANCE

Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)
Exhaust
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)

Specified value (Cold):
Intake A = B + (C - 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.))
Exhaust A = B + (C - 0.30 mm (0.0118 in.))

Select a new shim with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.





HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sizes in increments of 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).
Refer to the new shim thickness table below.





Intake valve clearance (Cold):
0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.0059 to 0.0098 in.)

EXAMPLE:
The 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.450 mm (0.0177 in.).
Replace the 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim with a new No. 12 shim.

New shim thickness mm (in.)





HINT: New shims have the thickness in millimeters imprinted on the face.





Exhaust valve clearance (Cold):
0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.0098 to 0.0138 in.)

EXAMPLE:
The 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim is installed, and the measured clearance is 0.450 mm (0.0177 in.).
Replace the 2.800 mm (0.1102 in.) shim with a new No. 10 shim.
