Out of specification Adjust.
a. Turn the crankshaft clockwise.
b. When piston #1 is at TDC on the compres-
sion stroke, align the “I” mark “a” on the
generator rotor with the mark “b” on the
generator cover.
• TDC on the compression stroke can be found
when the cylinder #1 camshaft lobes are
turned away from each other.
• In order to be sure that the piston is at TDC, the
alignment mark “c” on the intake camshaft
sprocket and the alignment mark “d” on the ex-
haust camshaft sprocket must align with the
cylinder head mating surface as shown in the
illustration.
c. Measure the valve clearance with a thick-
ness gauge.
• If the valve clearance is incorrect, record the
measured reading.
• Measure the valve clearance in the following
sequence.
Valve clearance (cold)
Intake
0.15–0.22 mm (0.0059–0.0087 in)
Exhaust
0.25–0.32 mm (0.0098–0.0126 in)
