1.

Check engine oil and add or change oil if required.

NOTE: 

If the engine oil level is low, air is sucked from

the oil screen, causing air to enter the oil passage.

NOTE: 

If the engine oil level is higher than

specification, oil may be stirred by the crankshaft,
causing oil to be mixed with a large quantity of air.

NOTE: 

If oil is deteriorated, air is not easily separated

from oil, increasing the quantity of air contained in oil.

NOTE: 

If air mixed with oil enters the high pressure

chamber inside the lash adjuster from the above causes,
air in the high pressure chamber is compressed
excessively while the valve is opened, resulting in an
abnormal noise when the valve closes. This is the same
phenomenon as that observed when the valve clearance has
become excessive. The lash adjuster can resume normal
function when air entered the lash adjuster is removed.

2.

Idle the engine for one to three minutes to warm it up.

3.

Repeat the operation pattern, shown in left figure, at no load
to check for abnormal noise. (Usually the abnormal noise is
eliminated after repetition of the operation 10 to 30 times. If,
however, no change is observed in the level of abnormal noise
after repeating the operation more than 30 times, suspect that
the abnormal noise is due to some other factors.)

4.

After  elimination  of  abnormal  noise,  repeat  the  operation
shown in left figure five more times.

5.

Run the engine at idle for one to three minutes to make sure
that the abnormal noise has been eliminated.

If the nut is turned less than 60 degrees, proper fastening
performance may not be achieved. Be careful to tighten
the nut exactly 60 degrees.

｠

If the nut is overtightened (exceeding 60 degrees), loosen
the nut completely and then retighten it by repeating the
tightening procedure from step 6.

10.

Make a paint mark on the bolt end at a position 60 degrees
from the paint mark made on the washer in the direction of
tightening the crankshaft bolt.

11.

Turn the crankshaft bolt another 60 degrees and make sure
that the paint marks on the washer and crankshaft bolt are
aligned.
