Valve lash is measured between the rocker arm and the bridge for the valves. All of the clearance
measurements and the adjustments must be made with the engine stopped. The valves must be fully
closed.
If the measurement of the valve lash is in the acceptable range, no adjustments are necessary. The range
is given in Table 1.
Table 1
If the measurement is not within this range, adjustment is necessary. Refer to Testing And Adjusting,
"Valve Lash and Valve Bridge Adjustment".
