Lifter / Lash Adjuster: Testing and Inspection

1. Inspect valve lifters and lifter bores.





(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the lifter bore diameter of the cylinder head.
Lifter bore diameter: 31.000 - 31.018 mm (1.2205 - 1.2212 inch)





(b) Using a micrometer, measure the lifter diameter.
Lifter diameter: 30.966 - 30.976 mm (1.2191 - 1.2195 inch)
(c) Subtract the lifter diameter measurement from the lifter bore diameter measurement.
Standard oil clearance: 0.024 - 0.050 mm (0.0009 - 0.0020 inch)
Maximum oil clearance: 0.07 mm (0.0028 inch)

If the oil clearance is greater than maximum, replace the lifter. If necessary, replace the cylinder head.
