INTAKE
Feeler Gauge
The recommended clearance for the intake and exhaust is .003 – .006
in. (.076 – 0.152 mm). Use a standard automotive feeler gauge at .005
(0.127mm). The feeler gauge should slide between the rocker arm and valve
stem with a slight amount of resistance, without binding. Figure 35 shows
how to measure the clearance.
10. If the clearance is not within specification:
a. Turn the adjusting nut using a 5/16 inch (8 mm) wrench or nut
driver (Fig. 35).
• To increase clearance, turn the adjusting nut counterclockwise.
• To decrease clearance, turn the adjusting nut clockwise.
b. Recheck both clearances, and adjust as necessary.
