3. Scroll the crankshaft one revolution (360‘) clockwise.
4. Adjust the valves shown in Figure 3.41a,b. Repeat the steps in step 2 to adjust the clearance in the above marked valves.

5. If the engine is installed on the car, start it. After that, check the valve clearance on a warm engine and, if necessary, adjust it.
Thermal clearance on a warm engine: inlet valve - 0.20 mm, exhaust valve - 0.25 mm.
