How to check the intake valve and exhaust valve clearance and select the appropriate tappets on Ford Focus?

Start by taking off the valve cover before performing the examination. Customers should turn the engine only through a clockwise direction using the crankshaft bolt. Proper valve clearance measurement should be performed before camshaft removal because multiple installations will result in labor time loss. Measure the base circle clearance at each valve using the lobe pointing away from the tappet. A feeler gauge shall be used to measure and note down the clearance values for all valves. Tappet numbers show only decimal points and following numbers where 0.650 indicates a 3.650 mm thickness. Proper valve clearance exists between 0.22 to 0.28 mm (0.008 to 0.011 in.) for intake valves and 0.27 to 0.33 mm (0.010 to 0.013 in.) for exhaust valves. The tappet selection process requires two calculations and marks placement on the selected tappets. Start by calculating the tappet thickness with this formula: tappet thickness = measured clearance + base tappet thickness - most desirable thickness. Then place installation marks on each selected tappet. The installation of new tappets should replace any parts which fail to meet the required specifications.

How to service and repair an Exhaust Valve and Intake Valve on Ford Focus?

The valve service process begins with measuring valve stem diameters according to specified points to verify compliance with the required dimensions. Replacement of necessary new components should occur when any valve stem diameter meets out-of-specification criteria. Examine all valve areas for grooves and scoring at the stem end followed by an inspection of valve faces and edges for pits and scores as well as checking the valve head for burning damage and measurement of warpage and cracking and evaluating valve margins for wear.
