Tappet clearances are adjusted by replacing tappet shim.
1. Close valve and turn tappet cut-away toward inside as
shown in figure.
5. Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise to bring cam nose ver-
tical to shim surface.
6. Measure tappet clearances by inserting thickness gauge
between cam and shim surface.
Tappet clearance (cold engine condition) :
IN. : 0.23 – 0.27 mm (0.009 – 0.011 in.)
EX. : 0.23 – 0.27 mm (0.009 – 0.011 in.)

This is a left hand (LH) rotation powerhead.
Rotate crankshaft counterclockwise to prevent water
pump impeller damage.
NOTE:
•
Rotate crankshaft and measure clearance for each tappet
respectively by bringing cam nose vertical to shim surface.
•
All tappet clearances can be measured during two turns of
crankshaft.
7. If out of specification, adjust tappet clearance by changing
shim.
