Hi all,
I will attempt the valve clearance adjustment within the next week or so. I need little help clearing up the procedure on page 2-31 of the manual. I don't quite understand it.
- Position the crankshaft at 1, 4 piston TDC.
TDC Mark [A] for #1, 4 Pistons
Timing Mark (crankcase halves mating surface)
- Using a thickness gauge[A], measure the valve clearance between the cam and the valve lifter.
- When positioning #1 piston TDC at the end of the compression stroke:
Inlet valve Cleance of #1 and #3 Cylinders Exhaust Valve Clearance of #1 and #2 Cylinders measuring valve [A]
- When positioning #4 piston TDC at the end of the compression stroke:
Inlet Valve Clearance of #2 and #4 Cylinders
Exhaust Valve Clearance of #3 and #4 Cylinders measuring valve [A]
Here's what I understand.
1. set piston #1 to TDC by aligning mark A to mark B on crankcase. what does it mean by #1, 4 pistons?
2. measure the clearance using the apropriate gauge.
I'm lost for the next two steps. I think I'm good on shim selection and calculation.
