VALVE SPRING SEAT
Install the spring seat, then using the special tool, install the-stem seal by lightly tapping the tool. Seal is installed in
-dspecified position using the special tool.
Caution
1. Incorrect installation of the seal without using the
special tool will result in poor sealing and cause oil
leakage down valve guide.
2. Do not reuse stem seal.
12.18. INSTALLATION OF EXHAUST, INTAKE VALVEApply engine oil to each valve. Insert valves into the valve
guides. Avoid inserting the valve into the seal with force.
After insertion, check to see if the valve moves smoothly.PL

it slightly. There should be no conductivity (resistance
should be infinite). If there is conductivity even when
wedge is pushed, replace the switch.
(3) Or, if there is no conductivity when a 50

pressure is placed through the oil hole, the switch is
operating properly. Check at this time to see that there is
no air pressure leakage. If there is air pressure leakage, thediaphragm is broken, and the switch should be replaced.

9-106ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine> - Timing Belt. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) After turning the crankshaft
l/4 turn counterclockwise,.5;;turn it clockwise to move the No. 1 cylinder to top dead
center.(2) Loosen the center bolt, and then, as shown in the
illustration, attach the special tool and a torque wrench
and apply a torque of 2.6-2.8 Nm
(1.88-2.03 ft.lbs.).If the body interferes with the special tool and the
torque wrench, use a jack to slightly raise the engine
assembly.
NOTEUse a torque wrench that is capable of measurement
within a range of
O-3 Nm (O-2.2 ft.lbs.).(3) Holding the tensioner pulley with the special tool and
torque wrench, tighten the center bolt to specification.
(4) Screw the special tool into the engine left support
bracket until its end makes contact with the tensioner
arm. At that point, screw the special tool in some more
and then remove the set wire attached to the auto
tensioner.(5) Remove the special tool.
(6) Rotate the crankshaft two complete turns clockwise
and leave it as is for about 15 minutes. Then, measure
the auto tensioner protrusion “A” (distance between
the tensioner arm and auto tensioner body) to ensure,.+
that it is up to specification.
Standard value:
3.8-4.5 mm (.15-.18 in.)
If it is out of specification, repeat steps (6) through (1)
until the specified value is obtained.
(7) If the clearance between the tensioner arm and the
auto tensioner body cannot be measured (when the
engine is being mounted, etc.), the following proce-
dures can be used to substitute for the ordinan/ methodof measurement.
@ Screw in the special tool until it contacts the
tensioner arm.
@ From that point of contact, further screw in the
special tool, screwing it in until the push rod of the
auto tensioner body is caused to move backward
and the tensioner arm contacts the auto tensioner
body.Check to be sure that the amount that the special
tool has been screwed in (when the push rod
moves backward) is the standard value.
Standard value: 2.5-3 turns

INSPECTION
PISTONNO@lCAFReplace the piston if scratches or seizure is evident on its
surfaces (especially the thrust surface). Replace the piston if it
is cracked.PISTON PIN
(1) Insert the piston pin into the piston pin hole with a thumb.
You should feel a slight resistance. Replace the piston pin ifit can be easily inserted or there is an excessive play.
(2) The piston and piston pin must be replaced as an assembly.PISTON RING
NOSTCBF
(1) Check the piston ring for damage, excessive wear, and
breakage and replace if defects are evident. If the piston
has been replaced with a new one, the piston rings must
also be replaced with new ones.
(2) Check the clearance between the piston ring and ring
groove. If the limit is exceeded, replace the ring or piston,
or both.
Standard value: 0.03-0.07 mm
(.0012-.0028 in.)
Limit: 0.1 mm
(.004 in.)
(3) Install the piston ring into the cylinder bore. Force it down
with a piston, its crown being in contact with the ring, to
correctly position it at right angles to the cylinder wall.
Then, measure the end gap with a feeler gauge.
If the ring gap is excessive, replace the piston ring.
