COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. DISCONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
4. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible. Compression pressure:
1,176 kPa (12.0 kgf/cm
2, 171 psi) or more
Minimum pressure: 883 kPa (9.0 kgf/cm
2, 128 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour
a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark
plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for cylinders with low
compression.
If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.
If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
5. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG−1 )
6. RECONNECT DISTRIBUTOR CONNECTOR

crankshaft 1 revolution (360 °) and align the marks as
above.

7. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance
between the valve lifter and camshaft.
Record the out−of−specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine
the required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake0.15 − 0.25 mm (0.006 − 0.010 in.)
Exhaust0.25 − 0.35 mm (0.010 − 0.041 in.)
(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360 °) and align
the its groove with timing mark ”0” of the timing chain cov-
er.
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the valve clearance (See procedure in step (a) above).
8. Except for rear valves of No. 6 cylinder ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
Turn the crankshaft to position the cam lobe of the
camshaft on the adjusting valve upward.
Position the notch of the valve lifter toward the spark
plug side.

Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter
flange. Remove SST (A).
SST 09248−06020, 09248 −55050 (09248−05510)
HINT:
Apply SST (B) at slight angle on the side marked with ”11”,
at the position shown in the illustration.
When SST (B) is inserted too deeply, it will get pinched by
the shim. To prevent it from being stuck, insert it shallowly
from the outside of the cylinder head, at a slight angle.
Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver and
magnetic finger.
(b) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by follow- ing the Formula or Charts:
Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
Calculate the thickness of a new shim so that the
valve clearance comes within specified value.
T ....... Thickness of removed shim
A ....... Measured valve clearance
N ....... Thickness of new shim
Intake: N = T + (A − 0.20 mm (0.008 in.))
Exhaust: N = T + (A − 0.30 mm (0.012 in.))
Select a new shim with a thickness as close as pos-
sible to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 sized in increments of 0.05 mm
(0.0020 in.), from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).
(c) Install a new adjusting shim.
Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and re-
move SST (B).
SST 09248−06020, 09248 −55050 (09248−05510)
(d) Recheck the valve clearance.
