To adjust the valves on a three-cylinder engine, follow these steps: 1. Open the valve cover and prepare the necessary tools for turning the engine. The engine nameplate usually indicates the standard valve clearance. Locate the two corresponding valves for the engine. 2. Identify the position of the engine valves. To adjust the first cylinder, rotate it to the top dead center (TDC) position, where the valves are in a free state, allowing both intake and exhaust valves to be adjusted. 3. Use the engine turning tool to rotate the engine to the TDC of the first cylinder. When you observe clearance in both the intake and exhaust valves during rotation, you can adjust the valve clearance of the first cylinder. Loosen the lock nut of the first cylinder's intake valve, place the appropriate feeler gauge between the valve and the rocker arm, adjust to the specified clearance, and then tighten the lock nut. 5. Adjust the other two cylinders (second and third) using the same method. After adjusting all three cylinders three times, the process is complete.
