ofCompression Pressure

1. Warm upengine.
2. Turn ignition switchoff.
3. Cut fuel line.
Release fuelpressure.
Refer to"Releasing FuelPressure" inEC section. •
4. Remove allspark plugs.
5. Disconnect distributorcentercable.
6. Attach acompression testertoNO.1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedalfullytokeep throttle valvewide
open.
8. Crank engine andrecord highest gaugeindication.
9. Repeat themeasurement oneach cylinder asshown above.

• Always useafully-charged batterytoobtain specified
engine revolution.

If
compression inone ormore cylinders islow:
a. Pour asmall amount ofengine oilinto cylinders through
spark plugholes.
b. Re-test compression,

• Ifadding oilhelps compression, pistonringsmaybeworn
or damaged. Ifso, replace pistonringsafterchecking pis-
ton.
• Ifpressure stayslow,avalve maybesticking orseating
improperly. Inspectandrepair valveandvalve seat.Refer
to SOS (EM-156, 159).Ifvalve orvalve seatisdamaged
excessively, replacethem.
• Ifcompression stayslowintwo cylinder thatarenext to
each other:
The cylinder headgasket maybeleaking, or
both cylinders mayhave valve component damage.
Inspect andrepair asnecessary.

4. Before installing frontcover, remove alltraces ofliquid
gasket frommating surface usingascraper.
• Also remove tracesofliquid gasket frommating surface of
cylinder block.
5. Apply liquidgasket tofront cover.
6. Install frontcover.

• Check alignment ofmating marksonchain andcrankshaft
sprocket.
• Align oildrive spacer withoilpump.
• Place timing chaintothe side ofchain guide. Thisprevents
the chain frommaking contact withwater sealarea offront

• Make suretwoO-rings arepresent.
• Be careful nottodamage oilseal when installing front
cover.

7. Install engine frontmounting bracketandmounting.
8. Install oilstrainer.
9. Install oilpan. Refer to"Installation" in"OIL PAN" (EM-16).
10. Install crankshaft pulley.
11. Install center member.
12. Set idler sprocket byaligning themating markonthe larger
sprocket withmating markonthe lower timing chain.
13. Install uppertiming chainandsetitby aligning mating
marks onthe smaller sprocket withmating markonupper
