6. Engine Oil Pressure

G2M0093
4) Connect oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder block.
5) Start the engine, and measure oil pressure.
Oil pressure:
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm
2,14 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000 rpm
CAUTION:

If oil pressure is out of specification, check oil
pump, oil filter and lubrication line.


If oil pressure warning light is turned ON and oil
pressure is in specification, replace oil pressure
switch.

NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil temperature
of 80°C (176°F).
6) After measuring oil pressure, install oil pressure switch.
Tightening torque:
25±3 N⋅m (2.5±0.3 kg-m, 18.1±2.2 ft-lb)
7) Install generator and V-belt in the reverse order of
removal, and adjust the V-belt deflection.

8) Similar to measurement procedures used for #1
cylinder, measure #2, #3 and #4 cylinder valve clearances.
NOTE:

Be sure to set cylinder pistons to their respective top
dead centers on compression stroke before measuring
valve clearances.

To set #3, #2 and #4 cylinder pistons to their top dead
centers on compression stroke, turn crankshaft pulley
clockwise 90°at a time starting with arrow mark on right-
hand camshaft sprocket facing up.
9) After inspection, install the related parts in the reverse
order of removal.
2. 2500 cc MODEL
CAUTION:
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance should
be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle onto the lift.
2) Disconnect battery ground cable.
3) Remove canister.
4) Remove one bolt which secures timing belt cover (RH).
5) Lift-up the vehicle.
6) Remove under cover (RH).
7) Remove canister bracket.
8) Loosen remaining bolts which secure timing belt cover
(RH), then remove belt cover.
9) Lower the vehicle.

6) Similar to adjustment procedures used for #1 cylinder,
adjust #2, #3 and #4 cylinder valve clearances.
NOTE:

Be sure to set cylinder pistons to their respective top
dead centers on compression stroke before adjusting valve
clearances.

To set #3, #2 and #4 cylinder pistons to their top dead
centers on compression stroke, turn crankshaft pulley
clockwise 90°at a time starting with arrow mark on right-
hand camshaft sprocket facing up.
B2M1234A
2. 2500 cc MODEL
CAUTION:
Adjustment of valve clearance should be performed
while engine is cold.
1) Measure all valve clearances.
NOTE:
Record each valve clearance after it has been measured.
2) Remove timing belt, camshaft sprockets, and related
parts.
3) Remove camshaft.
B2M1240A
4) Remove shim from valve lifter.
5) Measure thickness of shim with micrometer.
