RING GEAR (Engine with a manual transaxle)Check the ring gear for worn, damaged or broken teeth.
Replace the ring gear if teeth are faulty, and also check the
starter motor pinion.
Ring Gear Replacement Procedure(1) Strike outer circumference of ring gear at several points.
Caution
The ring gear cannot be removed if it is heated.(2) Install the ring gear on flywheel after heating the ring gear
to
260-280°C (500-536°F) for shrink fit.
FLYWHEEL (Engine with a manual transaxle)
(1) Visually check the clutch disc friction surface of flywheel forridge wear, streaks and seizure. Replace as necessary.
(2) If the flywheel
runout exceeds the limit, replace it.
Limit: 0.13 mm (0051 in.)
DRIVE PLATE (Engine with an automatic transaxle)Replace if deformed, damaged or cracked.

15. INSTALLATION OF UPPER BEARINGWhen reusing the main bearings, install them in their
original positions by referring to location marking made at
the time of removal.
Be sure that oil holes in bearings align with those in cylinder
block.
13. INSTALLATION OF LOWER BEARINGMake sure that a bearing without oil groove is used as
lower bearing.
12. INSTALLATION OF BEARING CAP(1) Install the bearing caps with their arrow mark directed
toward the timing belt side of engine. Cap numbers
must be in correct order.(2) Tighten cap bolts in the sequence of center,
No.2,
No.4. front and rear cap bolts.
(3) Cap bolts should be tightened evenly in 2 to 3 steps
before they are finally tightened.
(4) Make certain that the crankshaft turns freely and has a
proper end play by checking the clearance between
center main bearing thrust flange and connecting rod
big end bearing.
Crankshaft end play:
0.05-0.18 mm (.0020-.0071 in.)
Limit:0.25 mm (.0098 in.)

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.)

ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine>
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

9-76ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine> -Service Adjustment Procedures
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.

33. DISCONNECTION OF AIR CONDITIONER COMPRESS-
ORDisconnect air conditioner compressor connector and
remove it with hoses from the compressor bracket.
NOTEThe removed air conditioner compressor should be fas-
tened (by using rope, etc.) in a position that will not
interfere with the removal/installation of the engine assem-
bly.
38. DISCONNECTION OF ENGINE MOUNT BRACKET
Before removing the engine mount bracket installation bolt,use a chain block or similar arrangement to suspend the
engine assembly (to the extent that there is no looseness
of the chain).
40. DISCONNECTION OF ENGINE ASSEMBLY
After checking that the cables, hoses, harness connectors,etc. are all removed, slowly raise the chain block to lift the
engine assembly upward out of the engine compartment.
