Rotate the engine 360 degrees to place the engine at top dead center of the compression stroke for the number
one cylinder.
4. Use a feeler gauge to check the valve clearance on both valves for the number one cylinder, the intake valve for the
number two cylinder, and the exhaust valve for the number three cylinder. The valve clearance for both the intake
valve and the exhaust valve should be 0.15 to 0.25 mm (0.006 to 0.010 in.).

stem. Replace the valve stem cap if it shows significant wear.

is correct.
