ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
0.0098 inches (0.25 mm). Tighten the cylinder head bolts to
the specified torque and sequence shown below.
1. Pull off the air breather pipe from the rocker cover, and
take off the rocker cover bolts.
2. Adjust the valve clearances at
TDC (Top Dead Center)
for
each cylinder when they are on their compression stroke.
3.
Make sure that
the
timing mark on the gear case and
timing mark
on
the. crankshaft pulley are exactly aligned.
If
not, the valve will interfere with the piston because
of
improper cam positioning.
