- Measure the valve lifter
bores in the cylinder head.
Valve Lifter Bore ID
31.000-31.025 mm (1.2205-1.2214 in)
- Inspect the valve lifters
for wear, scoring and damage.
- Measure the valve lifters with the J 26900-2
.
Valve Lifter OD
30.959-30.975 mm (1.2189-1.2194 in)
- Subtract the valve lifter outside diameter measurement from the
valve lifter bore inside diameter measurement to determine the oil clearance.
Standard Valve Lifter-to-Valve Bore Clearance
0.025-0.066 mm (0.0010-0.0025 in)
Maximum Valve Lifter-to-Valve Bore Clearance
0.15 mm (0.0059 in)
- If the oil clearance is greater than the maximum, replace the
lifter. If the oil clearance is still greater than the maximum, replace the
cylinder head (with caps).
