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) Determine the replacement adjusting shim size by the fol-
lowing Formula or Charts on the next 2 pages:
(1) Using a micrometer, measure the thickness of the
removed shim.
(2) 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 - 0.36 mm (0.014 in.))
Select a new shim with a thickness as close as possible
to the calculated value.
HINT:
Shims are available in 17 increments of 0.05 mm (0.0020 in.),
from 2.50 mm (0.0984 in.) to 3.30 mm (0.1299 in.).

(1) Place a new adjusting shim on the valve lifter.
(2) Using SST (A), press down the valve lifter and re-
move SST (B).

MFI SYSTEM
PRECAUTION
1. BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM, DISCON-
NECT NEGATIVE (-) TERMINAL CABLE FROM BAT-
TERY
HINT:
Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the computer will be
erased when the negative (-) terminal cable is disconnected.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before disconnect-
ing the negative (-) terminal cable from the battery.
2. DO NOT SMOKE OR WORK NEAR AN OPEN FLAME
WHEN WORKING ON THE FUEL SYSTEM
3. KEEP GASOLINE AWAY FROM RUBBER OR LEATH-
ER PARTS
4. MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
(a) In event of engine misfire, the following precautions
should be taken.
(1) Check proper connection to battery terminals, etc.
(2) Handle higt-tension cords carefully.
(3) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi-
nals and all other ignition system lines are recon-
nected securely.
(4) When cleaning the engine compartment, be espe-
cially careful to protect the electrical system from
water.
(b) Precautions when handling the oxygen sensor.
(1) Do not allow the oxygen sensor to drop or hit
against an object.
(2) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
5. IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE RADIO SYS-
TEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communication system,
refer to the precaution in the IN section.
6. AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
(a) Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine out of tune.
(b) Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the air
induction system between the throttle body and cylinder
head will cause air suction and cause the engine out of
tune.
7. ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
(a) Before removing MFI wiring connectors, terminals, etc.,
first disconnect the power by either turning the ignition
switch to LOCK or disconnecting the negative (-) terminal
cable from the battery.
