Remove the fixing screws of the valve cover and carefully take off the valve cover, being cautious not to damage the valve cover gasket. Use a hand crank to rotate the crankshaft or pry the flywheel to position the first cylinder at the compression top dead center. Select a feeler gauge of the appropriate specification and insert it between the valve stem and the valve rocker arm. Gently pull the feeler gauge; if there is slight resistance, it indicates the correct clearance. Loosen the fixing nut, insert the feeler gauge into the valve clearance, and with one hand pulling the feeler gauge and the other turning the adjusting screw until slight resistance is felt on the feeler gauge.
