Procedure | ||
To measure the clearance, the procedure is to first position the crankshaft at cylinder #1 Top Dead Center or TDC. This is accomplished by using a 15/16" wrench on the crankshaft pulley and using the distributor as a guide, point it toward cylinder #1 while finding TDC on the crankshaft pulley. Eight of the sixteen valves can now be measured according to the table on the right. Next, rotate the crankshaft 360 degrees to bring the pulley back to TDC, only now cylinder #6 is at TDC and the remaining valves can me measured. |

With TDC @ #1 | ||
#1 Intake | # 1 Exhaust |

#3 Intake | #4 Exhaust | |
#7 Intake | #5 Exhaust | |
#8 Intake | #8 Exhaust | |
With TDC @ #6 | ||
# 2 Intake | # 2 Exhaust | |
# 4 Intake | #3 Exhaust | |
# 5 Intake | #6 Exhaust | |
