Valve clearance adjustment data

Calculate the thickness of the new adjusting valve lifter so valve clearance comes within specified values.

R = Thickness of removed valve lifter
N = Thickness of new valve lifter
M = Measured valve clearance

Intake:
N = R + [M – 0.20 mm (0.008 in)]
Exhaust:
N = R + [M – 0.25 mm (0.010 in)]

For 1G-GE engine valve lifters are available in 27 sizes to range from 2.00 mm (0.0787 in) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in), in steps of 0.05 mm (0.0019 in).
