TIP
• 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 cam-
shaft sprocket and the alignment mark "d" on
the exhaust 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 "1".
TIP
• If the valve clearance is incorrect, record the
measured reading.
• Measure the valve clearance in the following
