INSPECTION
1. INSPECT PRESSURE REGULATOR VALVE
Coat the valve piston with engine oil and check that it falls
smoothly into the valve hole by its own weight.
If necessary, replace the valve.
2. INSPECT ROTOR BODY CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the driv-
en rotor and pump body.
Standard clearance:
0.10 - 0.16 mm (0.0039 - 0.0063 in.)
Maximum clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the oil pump
rotor set and/or pump body.
3. INSPECT TIP CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between both ro-
tor tips.
Standard clearance:
0.03 - 0.14 mm (0.0012 - 0.0055 in.)
Maximum clearance:
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the oil pump
rotor set.
4. INSPECT SIDE CLEARANCE
Using a feeler gauge and flat block, measure the side clearance
as shown.
Standard clearance:
2.91 - 2.97 mm (0.1145 - 0.1169 in.)
Minimum clearance:
2.90 mm (0.1142 in.)
If the clearance is greater than maximum, replace the oil pump
rotor set and/or pump body.

1. INSPECT SPARK TEST
Check that the spark occurs.
(1) Disconnect the high-tension cord from the spark
plug.
(2) Remove the spark plugs.
(3) Install the spark plugs to the high-tension cord.
(4) Ground the spark plug.
(5) See if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
NOTICE:
To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors dur-
ing this test, crank the engine for no more than 5 - 10 se-
conds at time. If the spark done not occur, do the test as fol-
lows:

2. INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS
(a) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.
(1) Disconnect the high-tension cords at the rubber
boot. Do not pull on the cords.
NOTICE:
Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor
inside.
(2) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the clamp.
(b) Disconnect the high-tension cords from the ignition coils.
(1) Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and discon-
nect the holder from the ignition coils.
(2) Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet.
(3) Do not pull on the cord.
NOTICE:
Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor
inside. Do not wipe any of the oil from the grommet after the
high-tension cord is disconnected.
(c) Reconnect the high-tension cords to the ignition coils.
Maximum resistance: 25 kW per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals.
If necessary, replace the high-tension cord.
(d) Reinstall the high-tension cords.
(1) Assemble the holder and grommet.
(2) Align the spline of the ignition coil with the spline of
the holder, and push in the cord.
NOTICE:
Check that the holder is correctly installed to the grommet
and distributor cap as shown in the illustration.
(3) Check that the lock claw of the holder is engaged by
lightly pulling the holder.
(4) Connect the high-tension cords to the clamp.
(e) Reconnect high-tension cords to spark plugs.

3. INSPECT SPARK PLUGS
(a) Disconnect high-tension cords from spark plugs.
(b) Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the spark plug.
(c) Using a spark plug cleaner or wire brush, clean the spark
plug.
If the electrode has traces of wet carbon, allow it to dry and then
clean with a spark plug cleaner.
Air pressure:

If there are traces of oil, remove it with gasoline before using the
spark plug cleaner.
(d) Visually checkthe spark plug for thread damage and insu-
lator damage.
If abnormal, replace the spark plug.
Recommended spark plug:

7. INSPECT FIELD COIL FOR OPEN CIRCUIT
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is continuity between the
lead wire and field coil brush lead.
If there is no continuity, replace the field frame.
8. INSPECT FIELD COIL FOR GROUND
Using an ohmmeter, check that there is no continuity between
the field coil end and field frame.
If there is continuity, replace the field frame.
9. INSPECT BRUSH LENGTH
Using a vernier caliper, measure the brush length.
Standard length: 13.5 mm (0.531 in.)
Minimum length: 8.5 mm (0.334 in.)
If the length is less than minimum, replace the brush holder and
field frame.
10. INSPECT BRUSH SPRING LOAD
Take the pull scale reading the instant the brush spring sepa-
rates from the brush.
