How to check intake valve clearance on Kia Rio?
Check only the intake valves of the 1st and 2nd cylinders and exhaust valves of the 1st and 3rd cylinders for their clearance. Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance between the tappet and the base circle of camshaft. Record the out-of-specification valve clearance measurements.
How do you remove an intake camshaft assembly?
Put paint marks on the timing chain links (2 places) that meet with the timing marks of the intake and exhaust CVVT sprockets. Remove the camshaft bearing caps (A) with the order below. Remove the intake camshaft assembly. Remove the exhaust camshaft assembly. Measure the thickness of the removed tappet using a micrometer.
How big is the tappet on a Kia Rio?
Select a new tappet with a thickness as close as possible to the calculated value. Shims are available in 41 size increments of 0.015mm (0.0006in.) from 3.00mm (0.118in.) to 3.690mm (0.1417in.) Place a new tappet on the cylinder head. Install the exhaust camshaft assembly.
When to adjust the valve clearance on a Kia Cee?
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold (Engine coolant temperature : 20°C) and cylinder head is installed on the cylinder block. 1. Remove the cylinder head cover. 2. Set No.1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
How to adjust intake and exhaust valve clearance?
Place a wooden block between the jack and the oil pan to prevent damage to the oil pan. Disconnect the ground cable (A), and remove the engine mounting support bracket (B). Lift the engine slightly using the jack to obtain space for releasing the timing chain tensioner. 6. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.
How to adjust the valve clearance on a Kia Sportage?
Install the camshaft bearing caps in their proper locations. Install the service hole bolt (A). Turn the crankshaft two turns in the operating direction (clockwise), and then check that the TDC marks (A) of the CVVT sprockets are in straight line on the cylinder head surface. Recheck the valve clearance. Intake : 0.17 ~ 0.23mm (0.0067 ~ 0.0090in.)
