*****************************************************
Checking steps:
●
Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench.
●
Align the “T” mark 1 on the rotor with the
stationary pointer 2 on the crankcase cover.
When the “T” mark is aligned with the
stationary pointer, the piston is at the Top
Dead Center (T.D.C.).

OTE:
●
When the piston is at the Top Dead Center
(T.D.C.) on the compression stroke, there
should be clearance between the valve stem
tips and their respective rocker arm adjusting
screws.
●
If there is no clearance, rotate the crankshaft
counterclockwise one turn.
●
Measure the valve clearance using a feeler
gauge 3.
