1. General Precautions
1) Before disassembling engine, place it on ST3.
ST1 498457000 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER RH
ST2 498457100 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER LH
ST3 499817000 ENGINE STAND
2) All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying special
attention to the engine oil passages, pistons and bearings.
3) Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston, bearing
and gear should be coated with oil prior to assembly.
4) Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact the
timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
5) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be reinstalled
in the original positions and directions.
6) Gaskets and lock washers must be replaced with new
ones. Liquid gasket should be used where specified to
prevent leakage.
7) Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with new
ones as required.
8) Even if necessary inspections have been made in
advance, proceed with assembly work while making
rechecks.
2. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster
A: INSPECTION
1) Disconnect blow-by hose from rocker cover.
2) Remove spark plug cap.
B2M0413A
3) Remove left and right rocker covers.
CAUTION:
Before removing left rocker cover, disconnect battery
cables and generator cable.

2. Engine Noise
Valve lash adjusters may make clicking noise once engine
starts. It is normal if clicking noise ceases after a few min-
utes.
If clicking noise continues after a few minutes, check
engine oil level and add oil if necessary.
Then, do as follows to cease clicking noise.
1) Warm-up engine for five minutes.
2) Turn ignition switch OFF.
3) Connect test mode connector.
4) Start the engine and run it at approximately 2,000 rpm
for twenty minutes.
5) Turn ignition switch OFF.
6) Disconnect test mode connector.
7) Start the engine and check that clicking noise is ceased.
If noise still exists, conduct troubleshooting procedures in
accordance with the following table.
CAUTION:
Do not disconnect spark plug cord while engine is run-
ning.
Type of sound Condition Possible cause
Regular clicking soundSound increases as engine
speed increases.Valve mechanism is defective.
Broken lash adjuster
Worn valve rocker
Worn camshaft
Broken valve spring
Worn valve lifter hole
Heavy and dull clankOil pressure is low.Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn connecting rod bearing (big end)
Oil pressure is normal.Loose flywheel mounting bolts
Damaged engine mounting
High-pitched clank
(Spark knock)Sound is noticeable when
accelerating with an overload.Ignition timing advanced
Accumulation of carbon inside combustion chamber
Wrong spark plug
Improper gasoline
Clank when engine speed is
medium (1,000 to 2,000 rpm).Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy
cylinder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)Worn crankshaft main bearing
Worn bearing at crankshaft end of connecting rod
Knocking sound when engine
is operating under idling speed
and engine is warm.Sound is reduced when fuel
injector connector of noisy
cylinder is disconnected.
(NOTE*)Worn cylinder liner and piston ring
Broken or stuck piston ring
Worn piston pin and hole at piston end of connecting rod
Sound is not reduced if each
fuel injector connector is
disconnected in turn. (NOTE*)Unusually worn valve lifter
Worn cam gear
Worn camshaft journal bore in crankcase
Squeaky sound—Insufficient generator lubrication
Rubbing sound—Defective generator brush and rotor contact
Gear scream when starting
engine—Defective ignition starter switch
Worn gear and starter pinion
Sound like polishing glass with
a dry cloth—Loose drive belt
Defective engine coolant pump shaft
