4-cylinder 8-valve adjustment mnemonic is "one intake, three exhaust, four none". Here are the specific details about automotive valve clearance adjustment: Adjustment method: Taking a 4-cylinder engine with firing order 1-3-4-2 as an example. First, position cylinder 1 at compression top dead center and adjust its valves. Then rotate the engine crankshaft 180 degrees to position cylinder 3 at intake bottom dead center and adjust clearance. Next, rotate the crankshaft another 180 degrees to position cylinder 4 at exhaust top dead center for adjustment, finally adjust cylinder 2 at power top dead center. Adjustment reason: The valve clearance significantly affects engine performance. If cold valve clearance is too small or nonexistent, it will cause abnormal engine operation at operating temperature, making proper adjustment essential.
