Inspect Valve Clearance

Valve clearance too large
Valve clearance too small
 

 

1. Purpose of valve clearance inspection
(1) If the valve clearance is too large, any abnormal hitting sound will become louder.
(2) If the valve clearance is too small, valve thermal expansion after the engine warms up will cause the valve to strike the cam, which will prevent the valve from closing.
 
HINT:
Measure and adjust the valve clearance while the engine is cold.
