Valve Clearance

Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location. A midrange clearance is the most desirable:

Engines built through 10/09/08

Intake: 0.15-0.25 mm (0.006-0.01 in)
Exhaust: 0.300-0.400 mm (0.0118-0.0157 in)


Engines built 10/10/08 and after

Intake: 0.15-0.25 mm (0.006-0.01 in)
Exhaust: 0.360-0.460 mm (0.0142-0.0181 in)
