Checking valve clearance
Every 500 operating hours.
40 Remove rocker cover
• Remove the 2 nuts of the rocker cover.
• Complete the following steps:
41 Locating TDC
• Locate the Top Dead Center (TDC), at the
end of the compression stroke, for cylinder
1 by barring the engine slowly until the TDC
marks of the engine block and the crank
pulley match.
Note: There are two TDC’s e.g. compression
and suction. At the TDC at the end of the com-
pression stroke the rocker arm does not move
when the crank pulley is rotated a little.
42 Adjusting valve clearance
Cylinders are numbered consecutively, begin-
ning at the front end.
• Check valve clearance at cylinder 1 and ad-
just if necessary.
• Rotate the crankshaft 180° clockwise and
check valve clearance at cylinder 2.
