Valve Clearance
NOTE:
On 1.8L models, hydraulic valve lash adjusters are used and no maintenance is required. On 2.2L models, valve clearance is zero and no adjustment is possible. On all other models, hydraulic valve lifters are used and no valve adjustment is required. If incorrect valve clearance is suspected, lifter must be collapsed before clearance can be checked.
