s As some tachometers are not compatible with this
ignition system, we recommend that you confirm
the compatibility of your unit before using.
NOTE (7M-GTE): Connect the timing light pickup to t
No.6 cylinder high-tension cord.
CHECK IGNITION TIMING
(a) Using a service wire, short terminals T(MA) or
TEI (MS) and El of the check connector.

If necessary, loosen the distributor (7M-GE) or cam posz-’
tion sensor (7M-GTE) bolt and turn the distributor (cam
position sensor) to align the marks. Recheck the timing

REMOVE THROTTLE BODY
(a) Remove the PCV hose.

hose end.
(c) Disconnect following hoses:

l No.7 air hose
id) Disconnect the throttle position sensor connector.
(e) Remove the throttle body bracket(s).
(f) Remove the four bolts, throttle body and gasket.
CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) While cranking the engine with the starter motor,
measure the compression pressure.
NOTE: Always use a
fully charged battery to obtain an
engine revolution of more than 250 rpm.
(c) Repeat steps Ia) through Ib) for each cylinder.
Compression pressure:
11.0 kg/cm2 (156 psi, 1,079 kPa) or more
Minimum pressure:
9.0 kg/cm2 (128 psi, 883 kPa)
Difference between each cylinder:
1 .O kg/cm2 (14 psi, 98 kPa) or less
(d) If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is
low, pour a smali amount of engine oil into the
cylinder through the spark plug hole and repeat steps
(a) through (b) for the cylinder with low compression.
0 If adding oil helps the compression, chances are
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damaged.
0 If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improperly, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.

tNSPECT TlMlNG BELT
CAUTION :
l Do not bend, twist or turn the belt inside out.
l Do not allow the belt to come into contact with oil,
water or steam.
l Do not utilize belt tension when installing or remov-
ing the set bolt of the camshaft timing pulley.
If there are defects as shotin in the figures. Check the
foljowing points and replace the timing belt if necessary.
(a) Premature parting
l Check for proper installation.
l Check the timing belt cover gasket for damage
and proper installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are crackeb or damaged, check to
see if the camshaft is locked.

INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD FOR CRACKS
Using a dye penetrant, check the combustion chamber,
intake and-exhaust ports, head surface and the top of the
head for cracks.
if cracked, replace the head. 8.
9. CLEAN VALVES
(a) Use a gasket scraper to chip any carbon from the
valve head.
(b) Using a wire brush, thoroughly clean the valve.
INSPECT VALVE STEMS AND GUIDE BUSHINGS
(a) Using a caliper gauge, measure the inside diameter of
the valve guide.
Guide inside diameter:
6.010 - 6.030 mm
(0.2366 - 0.2374 in.)
EM2586 EM2931
(b) Using a micrometer, measure the diameter of the
valve stem.
Stem diameter:
Intake 5.970 - 5.985 mm
(0.2350 - 0.2356 in.) _
Exhaust 5.965 - 5.980 mm
(0.2348 - 0.2354 in.)
(c) Subtract the valve stem diameter measurement from
the valve guide bushing inside diameter measure-
ment.
Standard stem oil clearance:
Intake 0.025 - 0.060 mm
(0.0010 - 0.0024 in.)
Exhaust 0.030 - 0.065 mm
(0.0012 - 0.0026 in.)
Maximum stem oil clearance:
Intake 0.08 mm (0.0031 in.)
Exhaust 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
