Valve clearance order.

Dave Hob · 07-01-2007, 11:18 AM

Hi Guys
Just Registered to your forum and I need some help.
I've got a Mazda E2000 van 2.0 petrol and I need to set up the valve clearance.
I know the gap size but I confused on the order in which to do them.
The Mazda manuel says to bring pot 1 to t.d.c. and then ajust the valves on that pot, then bring pot 4 to t.d.c. and ajust the rest of the vales.
But this is all it says, can anyone let me know which pot, which valve and in which order to do this PLEASE.
Thanks in advance Dave Hob

Well I know the firing order is 1-3-4-2

So if it tells you to do 1, then 4, it is using the rule of 5. So do 1-4-3-2 in that order.
