Valve Clearance

VALVE CLEARANCE

Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.006 to 0.010 in.)
Exhaust 0.25 to 0.35 mm (0.010 to 0.014 in.)

Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
T:
Thickness of removed shim
A:
Measured valve clearance
N:
Thickness of new shim
Intake:
N = T + (A - 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust:
N = T + (A - 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))

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

Shims are available in 41 increments of 0.020 mm (0.0008 in.), from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in.) to 2.80 mm (0.1102 in.).
Refer to the new adjusting shim thickness table.
