    70. Inspect valve clearance
    1. Set the no. 1 Cylinder to the tdc/compression.
    2. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with timing mark ”0” of the timing chain cover.
    3. Check that the point marks of the camshaft timing gears are in straight line on the timing chain cover surface as shown in the illustration.
    Hint

    : if not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360 ) and align the marks as above.

    1. Check only the valves indicated.
    2. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the valve lifter and camshaft.
    3. Record the out–of specification valve clearance measurements. They will be used later to determine the required replacement valve lifters.

      Valve clearance (cold): 0.15 To 0.25 Mm (0.0059 To 0.0098 In.) For intake 0.25 To 0.35 Mm (0.0098 To 0.0138 In.) For exhaust

  • remove the valve lifters.
  • Toyota Corolla. Adjust valve clearance
    1. Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the removed valve lifters.
    2. calculate the thickness of a new lifter so that the valve clearance comes within the specified value.
      Valve clearance:

    Valve clearance:
    intake a = b + (c – 0.20 Mm (0.0079 In.)) Exhaust a = b + (c – 0.30 Mm (0.0118 In.))

    Example (intake):
    measure intake valve clearance = 0.40 Mm (0.0158 In.) 0.40 Mm (0.0158 In.) – 0.20 Mm (0.0079 In.) = 0.20 Mm (0.0079 In.) (Measured – specification = excess clearance) used lifter measurement = 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.) 0.20 Mm (0.0079 In.) + 5.250 Mm (0.2067 In.) = 5.450 Mm (0.2146 In.) (Excess clearance + used lifter = ideal new lifter) closest new lifter = 5.460 Mm (0.2150 In.) Select no. 46 Lifter Hint

    :

    • select a new lifter with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated values.
    • Lifter are available in 35 sizes in increments of 0.020 Mm (0.0008 In.), From 5.060 Mm (0.1992 In.) To 5.740 Mm (0.2260 In.).
