TUNE-UP PROCEDURE 1C
4BG01 B-006
4BG01B-007
76G01C-237
TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Turn the engine according to the procedures
described below.
Battery
1. Check for corrosion on the terminals, or loose ca-
ble connections.
If necessary, clean the clamps and tighten firmly.
2. Check the electrolyte level.
If the level is too low, add distilled water to the "UP-
PER LEVEL" mark.
3. Check the specific gravity by using a hydrometer.
If the specific gravity reading is 1.200 or less,
recharge the battery, by referring to Section 5.
Air Cleaner Element
Visually check the air cleaner element for being ex-
cessively dirty, damaged or oil.
Clean or replace it if necessary.
Caution
(Wet type)
Do not clean the air cleaner element with com-
pressed air, replace if necessary.
(Dry type)
When cleaning the air cleaner element, blow
dust off from the inside first, then blow off the
outside.
Engine Oil
Check the engine oil level and condition with the oil
level gauge.
Add oil, or change it, if necessary.
4BG01B-009
1C—5

1C TUNE-UP PROCEDURE
Coolant Level
Check that the coolant level is near the radiator inlet
port, and that the level in the reserve tank is between
the FULL and LOW marks.
Add coolant up if the level is low.
Warning
Never remove the radiator cap when the en-
gine is hot.
Wrap a thick cloth around cap and carefully
remove the cap.
4BG01B-010
Water Draining
1. Drain the water from the sedimenter or fuel filter.
If it is difficult to drain the water from the drain plug,
loosen the air bleeding plug.
2. Bleed the air from the sedimenter or fuel filter. (Re-
fer to Section 4D)
76G01C-005
Valve Clearance
1. Remove the cylinder head cover.
2. Set the No. 1 cylinder to compression TDC.
Note
Turn the crankshaft so that the intake and ex-
haust cam lobes face upward.
4BG01B-016
3. Measure the valve clearance of No. 1 cylinder by
using a thickness gauge.
Valve clearance (cold engine)
0.20—0.30 mm (0.008—0.012 in)
0.30—0.40 mm (0.012—0.016 in)
If necessary, adjust the valve clearance referring to
the page 1C—85.

1 C DISASSEMBLY (AUXILIARY PARTS)
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove in the sequence shown in the figure referring to the disassembly note for specially marked
parts.
2. Code all identical parts (such as pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, and valve springs) so that
they can be reinstalled in the cylinder from which they were removed.
3. Clean the parts with steam, blow off any remaining water with compressed air.
Note
Care should be taken during the disassembly of any part or system to study its order of
assembly. Any deformation, wear, or damage should also be noted.

INSPECTION AND REPAIR 1C
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
1. Clean all parts, taking care to remove any gasket fragments, dirt, oil or grease, carbon, moisture
residue, or other foreign materials.
2. Inspect and repair must be performed in the order specified.
Caution
Be careful not to damage the joints or friction surfaces of aluminum alloy components (such
as the cylinder head or pistons).

directions shown in the figure.
Distortion: 0.10 mm (0.004 in) max.
76G01C-098
3. If the cylinder head distortion exceeds specificati-
on replace the cylinder head.
Height:
133.9—134.1 mm (5.272—5.280 in)
Caution
Do not attempt to repair a cylinder head by
milling or grinding.
