FAQ

Assess the **critical** calibration settings for the valve clearance? keyboard_arrow_down

0.10–0.15 mm (intake) and 0.20–0.25 mm (exhaust) when engine is cold, as specified in the maintenance specifications for proper engine performance.

What components are **required** for proper clearance measurements? keyboard_arrow_down

Feeler gauges (thickness gauges) measuring in 0.05 mm increments (pads numbered 120-240) are essential for accurate valve clearance adjustment as documented in the valve clearance adjustment procedures.

Confirm the **specified** torque for the spark plug installation? keyboard_arrow_down

13 Nm (1.3 m·kg, 9.4 ft·lb) is the required torque specification for spark plug tightening, with hand-tightening recommended before final torquing to specification.
