Valve clearance (when cold):Standard: IN. : 0.10 – 0.20 mmEX. : 0.20 – 0.30 mmNOTE:* The cam must be at positions, A or B, when checking oradjusting the valve clearance. Clearance readings should notbe taken with the cam in any other position than these twopositions.* The clearance specification is for COLD state.* To turn the crankshaft for clearance checking, be sure to use awrench, and rotate in the normal running direction.
