Note: If the clearance is smaller than specified, slightly grind the topof the valve stem, and measureit again. On the contrary, if the clearance is too large, replace the valve with new one, and polish its contact surface with a compound to obtain a good fit. Then adjust the clearance.
Note: After the tappet clearance adjustment, install the valve spring retainers, and turn the crankshaft, and measure the tappet clearance once againif it is correct.
Note: [Only for EY20VI After the tappet clearance adjustment, fit the oil seal to the intake valve stem.
Note: INSTALLATION ofSPRING RETAINERS Place the notch on the outercircumference of the retainer toward this side and insert the re- tainer, like pushing in, using a special tool. (This special tool is used for EY18 and other models.) If a driver is used, insertion may be easier.
