How do you adjust valve clearance for 4G13 engine?

To adjust the valve clearance for a 4G13 engine, you will need the following tools:

* A feeler gauge

* A 10mm wrench

* A screwdriver

1. Start by removing the valve cover.

2. Locate the adjusting screws on the rocker arms.

3. Use the feeler gauge to measure the clearance between the valve stem and the rocker arm. The clearance should be between 0.15 and 0.20 mm (0.006 and 0.008 inches).

4. If the clearance is too small, loosen the adjusting screw and turn it counterclockwise until the clearance is correct.

5. If the clearance is too large, tighten the adjusting screw clockwise until the clearance is correct.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 for all of the valves.

7. Once you are finished, replace the valve cover.

It is important to note that the valve clearance should be checked and adjusted regularly, as it can change over time. If the valve clearance is not properly adjusted, it can cause the engine to run poorly and damage the valves.
