Abstract
Between the end of a valve and a valve-operating cam in an internal combustion engine, a valve lifter is inserted. A filler enclosing portion is formed between a shim and the body of the valve lifter. Through an opening from an injector, a filler is introduced into the filler enclosing portion, so that valve clearance is corrected to zero. Differences in valve clearance can be easily corrected.
