FUNDAMENTAL PROCEDURES 1. Inspection of parts When removed, each part should be carefully inspected for malfunctioning, deformation, damage, and other problems. 2. Arrangement of parts All disassembled parts should be carefully arranged for reassembly.Be sure to separate or otherwise identify the parts to be replaced from those that will be reused. 3. Cleaning parts for reuse All parts to be reused should be carefully and thoroughly cleaned in the appropriate method. Warning Using compressed air can cause dirt and other ,, particles to fly out, causing injury to the eyes. Wear protective eye wear whenever using com- pressed air. REASSEMBLY Standard values, such as torques and certain adjust- ments, must be strictly observed in the reassembly of all parts. Refer to STANDARD BOLT AND NUT TIGHTENING TORQUE in section TD for tightening torques not men- tioned in the main text. If removed, these parts should be replaced with new ones: 1. Oil seals 4. Gaskets 2. O-rings 5. Lock washers 3. Cotter pins 6. Nylon nuts Depending on location: 1. Sealant should be applied to gaskets. 2. Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts. 3. Specified oil or grease should be applied at the pre- scribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly. Gartner Banana

COMPRESSION COMPRESSION If the engine exhibits low power, poor fuel economy, or poor idle, check the following: 1. Ignition system (Refer to section G.) 2. Compression (Refer to page B-10.) 3. Fuel system (Refer to section F.) INSPECTION 1. Check that the battery is fully charged. Recharge it if necessary. (Refer to section G.) 2. Warm up the engine to the normal operating tempera- ture. 3. Turn the engine OFF. 4. Remove all spark plugs. 5. Disconnect the ignition coil connector. 6. Connect a compression gauge to the No.1 spark plug hole. 7. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and crank the en- gine. 8. Record the maximum gauge reading. 9. Check each cylinder, as above. Compression: 1,255 kPa (1 2.8 kgf/cm2, 182 psi)-300 rpm Minimum: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm2, 128 psiF300 rpm Differential limit between cylinders: 196 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm2, 28 psi} 10. If the compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder and re- check the compression. (1) If the compression increases, the piston, piston rings, or cylinder wall may be worn. (2) If the compression stays low, the valve may be stuck or seated improperly. (3) If the compression in adjacent cylinders stays low, the cylinder head gasket may be defective or the cyl- inder head distorted. 11 . Connect the ignition coil connector. 12. Install the spark plugs. Tightening torque: 15--22 N.m (1.5-2.3 kgf.m, 11-16 ftlbf) Gartner Banana

ON-VEHICLE MAINTENANCE CYLINDER HEAD GASKET Replacement Warning e Fuel line spills and leaks are dangerous. Fuel can ignite and cause serious injuries or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent this, always complete the "Fuel Line Safety Procedures" on section F. Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing serious injury and damage. Always keep sparks and flames away from fuel. 1. Disconnect the negative battery cable. 2. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to section E.) 3. Remove in the order shown in the figure, referring to Removal Note. 4. Install in the reverse order of removal, referring to Installation Note. Gartner Banana
