When adjusting valve clearances on a 1997 Ford Festiva, inlet clearance is 0.20 mm/exhaust clearances are 0.30 mm. These specs are for models before 11/96 or try 0.50 after this date. Check your rocker cover for a sticker which denotes a newer engine. In that case be sure to check specs. In addition, if the Festiva has a 1.5 motor, the valves are hydraulic therefore need no adjusting. If they sound noisy, attempt a good cleaning with a market approved oil/kerosene but most likely they'll have to be replaced.

To adjust the engine valves on a 1997 Suzuki Esteem, first ensure the engine is cold and then remove the valve cover. Using a feeler gauge, measure the gap between the rocker arm and the valve stem. If adjustment is needed, loosen the lock nut on the rocker arm, turn the adjusting screw to achieve the specified clearance (usually around 0.006 inches for intake and 0.008 inches for exhaust), and then tighten the lock nut. Finally, recheck the clearance and replace the valve cover.
