INSPECTIONl Visually check the cylinder block for scores, rust and
corrosion. Also check for cracks or any other faults by using
the magnaflux method. Correct or replace the block if
faulty.
lMeasure the cylinder bore with a cylinder gauge at three
levels and in two directions A and
B as shown. If
out-of-round or taper is more than specified or if the
cylinder walls are badly scuffed or scored, the cylinder
&block should be rebored and honed, and new oversize
_pistons and rings fitted.
Measuring points are as shown.
Cylinder bore: 80.8 mm (3.173 in.)
Out-of-round and taper: 0.01 mm (.0004 in.)

lTo rebore the cylinder to an oversize, keep the specified
clearance between the oversize piston and the bore, and
make sure that all pistons used are of the same oversize.
The standard measurement of the piston outside diameter
is taken at a level 2 mm (0787 in.) above the bottom of thepiston skirt and across the thrust faces.
Piston-to-cylinder wall clearance:
0.01-0.03 mm (.0004-.0012 in.)

l Check top surface for flatness. If excessive distortion is
evident, grind minimum stock within the limit or replace.
Flatness of gasket surface:
StandardLess than 0.05 mm (0020 in.)
Limit0.1 mm (.004 in.)
Overall height: 285.2 mm (11.228 in.)
Limit285 mm (11.220 in.)
Caution
If cylinder head gasket surface has already been
ground, the thickness of the removed stock should be
included in the grinding limit of -0.2 mm (-.008 in.).
CYLINDER
REBORINGNOBVEBA(1) Determine the oversize pistons to be used with reference
to the cylinder with the largest bore.
(2) Measure the piston
O.D. at the measuring point.
NOTEThere are four piston oversizes available: 0.25 mm
(.OlOin.), 0.50 mm
(.020 in.), 0.75 mm (.030 in.) and 1.00 mm
(.039 in.).
(3) Based on the measured piston O.D., calculate the boring
dimension as follows:
Boring dimension = [Piston O.D.] + [Piston-to-cylinder
clearance 0.03 to 0.05 mm
(.0012 to .0020 in.)] - [Honing
allowance 0.02 mm
(.0008 in.)]
(4) Bore each cylinder to the calculated boring dimension.
Caution
To prevent distortion caused by temperature rise
during boring, work in the order of
No.2 to No.4 to
No. 1 to No.3 cylinders.(5) Hone to final finish dimension [Piston O.D.]
+ [Piston-to-cylinder clearance].
(6) Check piston to cylinder clearance.
Standard value: 0.01-0.03 mm (.0004-.0012 in.)

SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES pi
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAH(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in good condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to
85-95°C (185-205°F).
(3) Stop the engine and pull the spark plug cables.
(4) Remove the spark plugs.
(5) Crank the engine
to. remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
Caution
Cover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying
out of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to
take the proper precautions.(6) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(7) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
: Min. 960 kPa (137 psi)
[250-400 rpm]6: Min. 800
kPa (114 psi) [250-400 rpml-(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Differential limit: Max. 100 kPa (14 psi)(9) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (6)-(8).
@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possiblethat there is poor contact between the piston ring and
cylinder wall.
@ If not compression does not come up, valve seizure,
poor valve seating, or a compression leak from the
gasket are all possible.‘I

JMANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION
NO9FNAO(1) Before inspection and adjustment, put the vehicle into the
following state.
l Engine coolant temperature:
85-g5”C (185-205°F)
l Lights, electric, cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
lTransaxle: Neutral (N or
P for vehicles with an automa-
tic transaxle)
l Steering wheel: Neutral position
(2) Check that the idling revolution speed is normal.
(3) Remove the PCV hose from the PCV valve and attach a
vacuum gauge.
(4) Check that the negative pressure at the intake manifold
during idle revolution is normal.
Standard value:: 490
mmHg (19.3 in.Hg): 480
mmHg (18.9 in.Hg)(5) If outside the standard value, isolate the cause by referring
to the following table and repair the fault.
ymptomICause1 Remedy
The vacuum gauge reading is less than
standard value, but the pointer is
stable.
The vacuum gauge pointer swingsslowly.
l Ignition timing is retarded.
l Air mixture concentration too
rich.
l Adjust the ignition timing.
l Check ECI-MULTI system.
The vacuum gauge pointer drops
irre-gularly.l Air mixture concentration too
lean.
l Check ECI-MULTI system.
The vacuum gauge pointer drops inter-mittently to 30 to 160
mmHg (1.2 to
6.3 in.Hg).
The vacuum gauge pointer drops sud-
denly from the normal reading to 250
mmHg (9.8 in.Hg), then returns tonormal.
l Incomplete close contact of in-
take and exhaust valve seat.
l Broken cylinder head gasket
l Check and repair the valve.
l Replace cylinder head gasket.

LASH ADJUSTERS CHECKNOBFEABalIf an abnormal noise is heard from the lash adjusters check as
follows.
(1) After warming up the engine, stop it.
(2) While installed to the cylinder head, press the part of rockerarm that contacts the lash adjuster. The part pressed will
feel very hard if the lash adjuster condition is normal.
(3) If, when pressed, it easily descends all the way downward,
replace the lash adjuster.
(4) If there is a spongy feeling when pressed, air is probably
mixed in, and so the cause should be investigated. The
cause is probably an insufficient amount of engine oil, or
damage to the oil screen and/or screen gasket.
(5) After finding the cause and taking the appropriate step
(adding oil or repair), warm up the engine and drive at low
speed for a short time. Then, after stopping the engine andwaiting a few minutes, drive again at low speed. Repeat
this procedure a few times to bleed out the air from the oil.
