With the rocker cover removed, Place the piston at TDC
of the compression stroke turning the crankshaft in its
rotational direction.
Then check the valve clearance with a feeler gauge (7),
measure the valve clearance between the rocker arm (8)
and the valve stem end.
Valve Clearance (when cold): Inlet, Exhaust 0.10 - 0.15
mm (0.004 - 0.006 in.)
