Abstract:
Provided is a valve clearance adjusting method by which an accurate valve clearance adjustment can be easily performed regardless of the tolerance of pitch dimensions of an adjusting screw. The valve clearance adjusting method including: measuring a cam profile of the camshaft  50  mounted on the cylinder head  100 ; identifying, on the basis of a measurement result of the cam profile, a predetermined rotation angle θ V  of the camshaft  50  at which a predetermined lift amount corresponding to a predetermined valve clearance is obtained; rotating the camshaft  50  and allowing a pressed portion  61, 71  of the rocker arm  60, 70  to face a cam surface at the predetermined rotation angle θ V ; rotating an adjusting screw  90  with the pressed portion faced with the cam surface and setting a valve clearance to zero; and fastening the adjusting screw  90  with a lock nut  91.

Claim (Index 5):
The valve clearance adjusting method according to  claim 2 , wherein driving the valve by rotating the camshaft mounted on the cylinder head to measure a lift amount of the valve and the cam profile is thereby measured.
