16.Measure and confirm that valve clearance is now
within specification for each valve.
17.If valve clearance is not within specification, repeat
this procedure.
18.If all valve clearance measurements are now within
specification, remove the camshaft carrier and
proceed to “Camshaft Installation / Timing”.
INTAKE VALVE LASH - TAPPET SELECTION MATRIX
A 440 tappet means the thickness of the tappet is 4.40 mm. Part Number: 5138477-XXX (X’s represent 3 digit tappet
size)

The proper valve tappet may also be obtained by completing these steps:
IMPORTANT
The Valve Lash Specification and Measured Valve lash must be calculated in millimeters (mm)
1. Subtract the actual valve lash on the engine from the valve lash specification (i.e. 0.29 mm – 0.20 mm) = 0.09 mm.
2. Divide the 3 digit tappet number by 100 (i.e. 450 / 100) = 4.5 mm.
3. Add the results of step 1 and step 2 (i.e. 0.09 mm + 4.5 mm) = 4.59 mm.
4. Multiply that answer by 100 to obtain the correct new tappet (i.e. 4.59 mm x 100 = 459).
5. Refer to the table below to find the closest available tappet size to the result from step 4 (i. e. 459 should be
rounded to 460 since there is a 460 tappet).
