If the valve operation mechanism for intake and exhaust develops play, you will start to hear a typical ticking noise from the top of the engine: this issue can be remedied by performing a manual adjustment. Raise the vehicle from the side while leaving it in gear (perhaps fourth gear): this will allow, through the rotation of the wheel, to align the valve rocker for adjustment (the valve must be in the closed position, i.e., with the operating spring released); remove the rocker cover to access the adjustment system.

Once the timing is correctly positioned, pass the feeler gauge between the cam and the valve stem: if it passes too easily, loosen the locknut, adjust so that the feeler gauge passes with resistance, and tighten the locknut. Be careful when selecting the feeler gauge.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
