32) Lower vehicle and remove 4 bolts securing
right and left engine mounting brackets(body side).

Fig. 3-3-8
CAUTION:Before lifting engine and transmission,
recheck to ascertain all hoses, electric wires
and cables are disconnected from engine
and transmission.
34) Remove clutch lower plate.
35) Separate transmission from engine.
Throughout this MANUAL, 4 cylinders ofengine are identified by numbers: No. 1, No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 as counted from front end.
33) Take down engine by operating a hoisting
means.

39) Remove crankshaft bearing caps, and take
out crankshaft.

3-5. INSPECTION OF ENGINE
COMPONENTS
NOTE:
During and immediately after disassembly,
inspect cylinder block and head for evidence
of water leakage or damage and, after washing
them clean, inspect more closely.
Wash all disassembled parts clean, removing
grease,slime, carbon and scales, before
inspecting them to determine whether repair
is necessary or not. Be sure to de-scale water
jackets.
Use compressed air to clear internal oil holes
and passages.
Do not disturb set combinations of valves,
bearings and bearing caps, etc. Have the
sets segregated and identified.
Cylinder Head
l Remove all carbon from combustion cham-
bers.
NOTE:
Do not use any sharp-edged tool to scrape off
the carbon. Be careful not to scuff or nick
metal surfaces when decarboning. This applies
to valves and valve seats, too.
Fig. 3-5 1
l Check cylinder head for cracks in intake and
exhaust ports, combustion chambers, and
head surface.

3-6. ENGINE REASSEMBLY
NOTE:
l All parts to be used in reassembly must be
perfectly clean.
l Oil sliding and rubbing surfaces of engine
parts just before using them in reassembly.
Use engine oil (Refer to page l-8).
l Have liquid packing ready for use. SUZUKI
BOND NO. 1215 is specified for it. Use it
wherever its use is specified in order to
ensure leak-free (oil and water) workmanship
of reassembly.
l There are many running clearances. During
the course of engine reassembly, be sure to
check these clearances, one after another,
as they form.
l Gaskets, “0” rings and similar sealing mem-
bers must be in perfect condition. For these
members, use replacement parts in stock.
l Tightening torque is specified for impor-
tant fasteners - mainly bolts and nuts -of
the engine and other components. Use torque
wrenches and constantly refer to the specified
values given on p. 3-58.
l Do not disregard match marks provided on
parts. Some of them are those given at the
time of disassembly.
l There are many sets of parts. Crankshaft
bearings, connecting rods, pistons, etc., are
in combination sets. Do not disturb such
combinations and make sure that each part
goes back to where it came from.
Engine reassembly is the reverse of engine disas-
sembly as far as sequence is concerned, but
there are many reassembling steps that involve
measures necessary for restoring engine as close
to factory-assembled condition as possible. Only
those steps will be dealt with here.
Fig. 3-5-51 Radial clearances
l Side clearance:
Using straight edge and thickness gauge,
measure side clearance.
Limit on side
clearance0.15 mm (0.0059 in.)
Fig. 3-5-52 Side clearance measurement
Timing Belt end Tensioner
l Inspect timing belt for wear or crack. Replace
it as necessary.
l Inspect tensioner for smooth rotation.

Oil Seal Housing
Install oil seal housing and its gasket.
Install new gasket. Do not reuse gasket removed
in disassembly. Apply oil to oil seal lip before
installing. Tighten housing bolts to specifi-
cation.
After installing oil seal housing, gasket edges
might bulge out; if so, cut off edges to flush
with cylinder block and oil seal housing.

Oil Pump
NOTE:
Reassemble components of oil pump assembly
according to following procedure, if disassem-
bled.
a) Wash, clean and then dry all disassembled
parts.
b) Apply thin coat of engine oil to inner and
outer rotors, oil seal lip portion, and inside
surfaces of oil pump case and plate.
c) Install outer and inner rotors to pump case.
d) Install gear plate. Tighten 5 screws securely.
e) After installing plate, check to be sure that
gears turn smoothly by hand.
1) Install two oil pump pins and oil pump gasket
to cylinder block. Use new gasket.
2) To prevent oil seal lip from being damaged or
upturned when installing oil pump to crank-
shaft, fit oil seal guide (special tool) to
crankshaft, and apply engine oil to it.

2) Install valve spring seat to cylinder head.
3) Install new valve stem seal to valve guide.
After applying engine oil to seal and spindle
of valve stem seal installer (special tool), fit
oil seal to spindle, and then install seal to
valve guide by pushing special tool by hand.
After installation, check to be sure that
seal is properly fixed to valve guide.
NOTE:
l Do not reuse oil seal disassembled. Be sure to
install new oil seal.
l When installing, never tap or hit special tool
with a hammer or else. Install seal to guide
only by bushing special tool with hand.
Tapping or hitting special tool may cause
damage on seal.

4) Install valve to valve guide.
Before installing valve to valve guide, apply
engine oil to stem seal, valve guide bore,
and valve stem.

5) Install valve spring and spring retainer.
Each valve spring has top end (large-pitch
end) and bottom end (small-pitch end)
Be sure to position spring in place with its
bottom end (small-pitch end) down to valve
spring seat side.
