ENGINE TUNE-UP HLA TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Problem 1. Noise when engine is started immediately af- ter oil is changed 2. Noise when engine is started after setting approx. one day 3. Noise when engine is started after cranking for 3 seconds or more 4. Noise when engine is started after new HLA is installed 5. Noise continues more than 10 minutes 5. Noise occurs during idle after high speed run- ning Possible Cause Oil leakage in oil passage Oil leakage in HLA Faulty HLA Action Run engine 2000-3000 rpm. If noise stops after 2 second-10 minutes(') HLA is normal. If not, replace HLA. Time required for engine oil to circulate withir engine, includes tolerance for engine oi condition and ambient temperature. Insufficient oil pressure (Refer to page 8-53) Press down HLA by hand. If it does not move, HLA is normal. If it moves, replace HLA. Check oil pressure. If lower than specification, check for cause. Oil pressure; 295-392 kPa I3.0-4.0 kgf/cm2, 43-56 psil-3000 rpm Deteriorated oil Check oil quality. If deteriorated, replace with specified type and amount of oil. Incorrect oil amount IGNITION TIMING, IDLE SPEED Preparation 1. Check the condition of the engine (spark plugs, leaks in hoses, etc.). 2. Make sure all accessories are OFF. 3. Warm up the engine to normal operating temperature. 4. Connect a timing light and a tachometer to the data link connector terminal IG-. When using an externally pow- ered timing light and/or tachometer, connect it to the power connector (Blue: 1 -pin). Measure valve clearance. If more than Omm {0 in}, replace HLA. Check oil level. Drain or add oil as necessary. Caution Grounding the power connector terminal (Blue: 1-pin) will burn out the 20A wiper fuse. 5. Make sure coolant fan does not operate. Gartner Banana

ASSEMBLY Dipstick, Dipstick Pipe 1. Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the new 0- ring. 2. Push the dipstick pipe into the oil pan. u 3. Tighten the dipstick pipe bracket nut. Tightening torque: 7.9-10.7 N.m (80-1 10 kgfem, 70-95.4 in4bf) 4. lnstall the dipstick. Spark Plug lnstall the spark plugs. Tightening torque: 15-22 N.m (1 .%2.3 kgf-m, 11-1 6 ft4bf) Water Outlet Pipe 1. Remove all foreign material from the water outlet pipe mounting surface. 2. lnstall a new gasket and the water outlet pipe. Tightening torque: 19-25 N.m (1.9-2.6 kgf.m, 14--18 ft4bf) Oil Pressure Switch lnstall the oil pressure switch. Tightening torque: 12-17 N.m (1.2-1.8 kgf-m, 9-13 ft4bf) Gartner Banana
