Engine Service

Procedures for top-end and bottom-end service, including valve adjustment, cylinder head removal, piston and cylinder service, and crankshaft inspection.

1. Valve Clearance Adjustment: Perform with engine cold. Intake: 0.10–0.15 mm (0.0039–0.0059 in). Exhaust: 0.15–0.20 mm (0.0059–0.0079 in).
2. Engine Oil Change: Capacity: 3.7 qt (3.5 L) with filter change. Use Yamalube 4 (10W-30) or equivalent API SG or higher.
3. Cylinder Head Removal: Drain coolant, remove intake and exhaust manifolds, camshaft, and head bolts in sequence.
4. Piston Removal: Remove cylinder head, then cylinder. Note piston ring end gap orientation.

CAUTION! Always use a new head gasket and torque cylinder head bolts in the correct sequence and stages.

Chassis & Suspension
