  1. cautionNOTICE: Only rotate the crankshaft clockwise.

    Rotate the crankshaft until the corresponding piston is at TDC and then measure the valve clearance(s).
    Use the General Equipment: Feeler Gauge
  1. Measure and note the valve clearance values.
  1. Compare the measured valve clearance(s) with the specifications.
    Refer to: Specifications (303-01C Engine - 1.4L Duratec-16V Flex Fuel (71kW/96PS) – Sigma, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Specifications).

Adjustment

NOTE: The following steps are only necessary if adjustment is required.

  1. Remove the following items:
    • Refer to: Camshafts (303-01C Engine - 1.4L Duratec-16V Flex Fuel (71kW/96PS) – Sigma, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Removal and Installation).
  1.  
    • Remove the valve tappet and read the thickness from the underside.
    • The number on the valve tappet indicates the thickness of the bottom of the tappet. However, the number only indicates the digits after the decimal point (example: 725 = 2.725).
  1. Calculate the valve tappet thickness required (thickness of the currently installed tappet + the measured valve clearance - the required valve clearance).
  1. Install the correct valve tappet.
  1. goggles gloves

    NOTE: The component must be installed within 5 minutes of applying the sealant.

    Complete this step within: 5min

  1.  
    • Turn the crankshaft back by 45° (counter to the normal direction of rotation).
    • Turn the camshafts to measure the valve clearance.
    • Repeat the procedure as necessary until all valve clearances are within the specified tolerance.
    • Turn the crankshaft until it stops against the special tool.
  1. Refer to: Camshaft Seal (303-01C Engine - 1.4L Duratec-16V Flex Fuel (71kW/96PS) – Sigma, Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG), Removal and Installation).
