Special Tool(s) /
General Equipment
Check
-
Remove the valve cover.
Refer to: Valve Cover (303-01C Engine - 2.0L Duratec-HE (129kW/175PS), Removal and Installation).
-
Remove the RH front wheel and tire.
Refer to: Wheel and Tire (204-04A Wheels and Tires, Removal and Installation).
-
Remove the fasteners and the accessory drive belt cover.
-
NOTE:
Turn the engine clockwise only, and only use the crankshaft bolt.
NOTE:
Measure the clearance of each valve at base circle, with the lobe pointed away from the tappet.
Use a feeler gauge to measure the clearance of each valve and record its location.
Use the General Equipment: Feeler Gauge
-
NOTE:
The number on the valve tappet only reflects the
digits that follow the decimal. For example, a tappet with the number
0.650 has the thickness of 3.650 mm.
NOTE:
Select tappets using this formula: tappet thickness =
measured clearance + the existing tappet thickness - nominal clearance.
NOTE:
The nominal clearance is:
-
intake: 0.25 mm (0.0095 in).
-
exhaust: 0.36 mm (0.0142 in).
NOTE:
The acceptable clearances after being fully installed are:
-
intake: 0.19-0.31 mm (0.007-0.012 in).
-
exhaust: 0.30-0.42 mm (0.012-0.017 in).
Select the closest tappet size to the ideal tappet thickness available and mark the installation location.
-
If any tappets do not measure within specifications, install new tappets in those locations.

NOTE:
The following step is only necessary if adjustment is required.
