2 Answers
Valve clearance adjustment method for Hyundai Verna: 1. Remove the valve cover, tighten the rocker arm shaft bracket, and place the decompression handle in the preheating position; 2. Rotate the crankshaft until the intake valve of the first cylinder changes from open to closed, then use the top dead center locating pin to determine the compression top dead center of the first cylinder; 3. Return the decompression handle to the working position, and check and adjust the valve clearance of the remaining valves from front to back; 4. Place the decompression handle back in the preheating I position, pull out the top dead center locating pin from the flywheel locating hole, slowly rotate the crankshaft, and when the pin falls back into the flywheel locating hole, return the decompression handle to the working position, then check and adjust the valve clearance of the remaining valves; 5. Review once according to the aforementioned sequence, and readjust if necessary. After adjustment, securely tighten the top dead center locating pin on the flywheel housing and reinstall the valve cover. The dimensions of the Hyundai Verna are 4340mm in length, 1700mm in width, and 1460mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2570mm.
I've been driving a Hyundai Verna for several years, and adjusting the valve clearance is part of the regular maintenance, which is quite simple. You need to wait until the engine is completely cold before operating, as the clearance won't be accurate when it's hot. Prepare a set of feeler gauges, a wrench, and the vehicle manual. First, locate the top dead center (TDC) position of the first cylinder by rotating the crankshaft to align the marking points. Then measure the valve clearance, which is usually between 0.2 and 0.3 mm, by inserting the feeler gauge between the rocker arm and the valve stem. If it's too loose or too tight, loosen the lock nut of the adjustment screw, use the wrench to slowly turn it to the correct position, and then tighten it. After adjusting one cylinder, move on to the next until all are checked. Don’t forget to double-check to ensure accuracy. Incorrect valve clearance can increase noise or fuel consumption, and long-term neglect may lead to engine wear. This job takes about half an hour to do yourself, no need to go to a repair shop. Remember to wear gloves for safety.
