11. If valve clearance requires adjustment, rotate camshaft so lobe on valve to be adjusted is facing upward, away from valve lifter. Position notch on valve lifter perpendicular to the camshaft. Ensure notch is not aligned with the camshaft. 12. Valve Clearance Adjuster (SST 09248-55040) is used to remove adjusting shim. Using SST "A" of valve clearance adjuster, push downward on valve lifter. See Fig. 4 . Place SST "B" between camshaft and valve lifter with the side marked with a "7" or "9" in the right location, depending on cylinder application. Side marked with "7" should be used on front valves on No. 1 and 2 cylinders only. Remove SST "A". 13. Using small screwdriver and magnet, remove adjusting shim. Measure and record thickness of removed adjusting shim. Using measured clearance and adjusting shim thickness, select proper replacement adjusting shim. See Fig. 5 and Fig. 6 . 14. Install replacement adjusting shim with imprinted number on adjusting shim facing the valve lifter. Recheck valve clearance. Before installing valve cover and gasket, apply sealant at front and rear areas of cylinder head. See Fig. 7 . 15. Using NEW gasket, install valve cover. Install and tighten valve cover bolts to specification in several steps. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . To install remaining components, reverse removal procedure. Use NEW gaskets. Tighten all fasteners to specification. Fill cooling system and adjust control cables (if necessary).

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION CAUTION: When battery is disconnected, vehicle computer and memory systems may lose memory data. Driveability problems may exist until computer systems have completed a relearn cycle. NOTE:
For reassembly reference, label all electrical connectors, vacuum hoses and fuel lines before removal. Also place mating marks on engine hood and other major assemblies before removal.
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE With ignition off, disconnect negative battery cable. Place an approved gasoline container under fuel line. Cover fuel line connection with shop towel. Slowly loosen fuel line connection to release fuel pressure. Once fuel pressure is released, fuel system components may be serviced. ENGINE WARNING: To prevent air bag deployment, disconnect negative battery cable at least 90 seconds before working on vehicle. NOTE:
Remove engine and transaxle as an assembly.
