damaged or oily.
If necessary, replace the air filter.
(b) Clean the air filter with compressed air.
First blow from the upper side thoroughly, then blow off
the lower side of the air filter.
4. REPLACE AIR FILTER
Replace the air filter with a new one.
5. REPLACE SPARK PLUGS (See page IG-1)

VALVE CLEARANCE
INSPECTION
HINT:
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
1. DISCONNECT PCV HOSES FROM CYLINDER HEAD
COVER
2. REMOVE HIGH- TENSION CORDS AND IGNITION
COILS FROM SPARK PLUGS
3. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER
(a) Remove the oil filler cap.
(b) Remove the 5 cap nuts and seal washers.
(c) Pry out the cylinder head cover, and remove the cover
and gasket.
4. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 cylinder are loose
and valve lifters on the No.4 cylinder are tight.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 complete revolution (360°) and align
the marks as above.
5. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Check only the valves indicated.
(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
(2) 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.)
Exhaust0.31 - 0.41 mm (0.012 - 0.016 in.)

(b) Turn the crankshaft pulley 1 revolution (360°) and align
its groove with the timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt
cover.
(c) Check only the valves indicated as shown. Measure the
valve clearance (See procedure in step (a)).
6. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
(a) Remove the adjusting shim.
(1) Turn the crankshaft to position the cam lobe of the
camshaft on the adjusting valve points upward.
(2) Position the notch of the valve lifter so that the shim
can be removed with a small screwdriver as shown
in the illustration.
(3) Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and place
SST (B) between the camshaft and valve lifter
flange. Remove SST (A).
SST 09248-55040 (09248-05410, 09248-05420)
HINT:

Apply SST (B) at slight angle on the side marked with º9º,
at the position shown in the illustration.

Set SST (A) at position A, if position A is too narrow, at
position B, as shown in the illustration.
(4) Remove the adjusting shim with a small screwdriver
and magnetic finger.

INSPECTION
1. INSPECT TIMING BELT
NOTICE:

Do not bend, twist or turn the timing belt inside out.

Do not allow the timing belt to come into contact with
oil, water or steam.

Do not utilize timing belt tension when installing or re-
moving the mounting bolt of the camshaft timing
pulley.
If there are any defects as shown in the illustration, check these
points:
(a) Premature parting

Check for proper installation.

Check the timing cover gasket for damage and
proper installation.
(b) If the belt teeth are cracked or damaged, check to see if
either camshaft or oil pump is locked.
(c) If there is noticeable wear or cracks on the belt face,
check to see if there are nicks on the side of the idler
pulley lock.
(d) If there is wear or damage on only one side of the belt,
check the belt guide and the alignment of each pulley.
(e) If there is noticeable wear on the belt teeth, check the tim-
ing belt cover for damage and check gasket has been
installed correctly and for foreign material on the pulley
teeth.
If necessary, replace the timing belt.
2. INSPECT IDLER PULLEYS
(a) Visually check the seal portion of the idler pulley for oil
leakage.
If leakage is found, replace the idler pulley.
(b) Check that the idler pulley turns smoothly.
If necessary, replace the idler pulley.
