Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature : 20°C) and cylinder head is installed on
the cylinder block.
|
1. |
Remove the cylinder head cover.
(Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly - "Cylinder Head Cover")
|
2. |
Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
(1) |
Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the
timing mark of the timing chain cover.
|
(2) |
Check that the marks of the intake and exhaust CVVT sprockets
are in straight line on the cylinder head surface as shown in
the illustration. If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution
(360°).
Do not turn the crankshaft damper pulley counterclockwise.
|
|
(3) |
Mark the timing chain links corresponding to the timing
marks on the CVVT sprockets with a indelible marker.
|
|
3. |
Remove the exhaust oil control valve (OCV) adaptor (A).
|
4. |
Inspect the valve clearance.
(1) |
Check only the intake valves of the 1st and 2nd cylinders
and exhaust valves of the 1st and 3rd cylinders for their clearance.
A. |
Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance
between the tappet and the base circle of camshaft.
|
B. |
Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine the
required tappet for adjusting.
|
Valve clearance specification (Engine coolant
temperature : 20°C [68°F])
Limit
Intake : 0.17 ~ 0.23mm (0.0067 ~ 0.0091in.)
Exhaust : 0.22 ~ 0.28mm (0.0087 ~ 0.0110in.)
|
|
(2) |
Turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution (clockwise 360°)
and align its groove with timing mark of the timing chain cover.
|
(3) |
Check the intake valves of the 3rd and 4th cylinders and
exhaust valves of the 2nd and 4th cylinders for their clearance.
|
|
5. |
Remove the engine mounting support bracket.
(1) |
Put a jack under the oil pan.
Place a wooden block between the jack and the
oil pan to prevent damage to the oil pan.
|
|
(2) |
Disconnect the engine ground cable (A).
|
(3) |
Remove the engine mounting support bracket (A).
|
(4) |
Lift the engine slightly using the jack to obtain space
for releasing the timing chain tensioner.
|
|
6. |
Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.
(1) |
Remove the bolt (A) from the service hole in the timing
chain cover.
|
(2) |
Lock the timing chain tensioner in the fully retracted
position.
Insert a pick into the service hole in the timing chain
cover and lower the hole in the left side of the ratchet plate
(A) on the tensioner to allow the pawl (B : located inside the
tensioner behind the rachet plate) to be lifted.
|
(3) |
Remove the camshaft bearing caps (A) with the order below.
|
(4) |
With the pawl lifted, have a helper pull up the exhaust
CVVT & camshaft (A) to allow the tensioner plunger (B) to retract.
|
(5) |
With the tensioner plunger in the fully retracted position,
raise the hole in the left side of the ratchet plate (A) again
through the service hole in the chain cover to align the ratchet
plate hole with the hole in the tensioner body behind the ratchet
plate, then lock the tensioner by inserting the pick through
the ratchet plate and tensioner body holes.
|
(6) |
Separate the exhaust camshaft (A) from the exhaust CVVT
by removing the bolt.
|
(7) |
Remove the exhaust CVVT (A) from the timing chain.
|
(8) |
Remove the intake CVVT & camshaft (A).
Fasten the timing chain to the engine hanger with
a cable tie or strap not to allow the timing chain to
fall down when removing the intake CVVT & camshaft.
|
|
(9) |
Remove the tappet(s) in out-of-specification valve clearance
from the cylinder head.
|
(10) |
Measure the thickness of the removed tappet using a micrometer.
|
(11) |
Calculate the thickness of a new tappet so that the valve
clearance comes within the specificified value.
Valve clearance (Engine coolant temperature :
20°C)
T : Thickness of removed tappet
A : Measured valve clearance
N : Thickness of new tappet
Intake : N = T + [A - 0.20mm(0.0079in.)]
Exhaust : N = T + [A - 0.25mm (0.0098in.)]
|
|
(12) |
Select a new tappet with a thickness as close as possible
to the caculated value.
Shims are available in 41 size increments of 0.015mm
(0.0006in.) from 3.00mm (0.118in.) to 3.690mm (0.1417in.)
|
|
(13) |
Place a new tappet on the cylinder head.
