! Inspect for tuel leakage (see section 1ll.. After assembling fuel line parts, turn on the
ignition switch (do not operate the staner) so
that the fuel pump operates for approximately
two seconds and the fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times and
check for tuel leakage at any point in the {uel

Adjustment
NOTE:
. Valves should be adjusted cold; at a cylinder head
temperature of less than 100'F (38"C).
Adjustment is the same for both intake and exhaust
valves.
. After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt to
177 N.m (18.0 kgf.m, 130 lbf'ft).

Replacement (cylinder head removal not required)
The procedure shown below applies when using the in-
car valve spring compressor (Snap-on YA8845 with
Y AAA45-2A 1 /8" attachment).
!@@ When using this tool, as with any tool,
always use approved eye protection. Using the
fight tool tor each job helps increase productivity
while safeguarding tools, equipment and ihe user.
Turn the crankshaft so that the No. 1 and the No. 4pistons are at top dead center (TDC).
Remove the cylinder head cover.
Remove the distributor.
Loosen and disconnect the timinq belt from the
camshaft oullevs.
5. Remove the camshaft holder bolts, then remove the
camshaft holders, the camshafts and rocker arms.
Intake Valve Seals
6. Using the 6 mm bolts supplied with the tool, mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end
camshaft holders. The uprights fit as shown.
7. Insert the cross shaft through the bottom hole of
the two uprights.
8.
9.
10.
Select the 7/8 in. diameter long compressor attach-
ment and fasten the attachment to the No. 4 hole of
the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
Position the piston at TDC and insen an air adaptor
into the spark plug hole. Pump air into the cylinder
to keep the valve closed while compressing springs
and removing the valve keepers.
Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for the
spring being compressed. Use the rear position slot
on the lever as shown.
NOTE: Put shop towels over the oil passages toprevent the valve keepers from falling into the cylin-
der head.

Inspection
1.Remove the cylinder head cover.
o Refer to page 6-33 when installing.
Inspect the timing belt for cracks and oil or coolant
soal(n9.
NOTE:
. Replace the belt if oil or coolant soaked.
. Remove any oil or solvent that gets on the belt.
2.
Rotate pulley
and inspect belt.
After inspecting. retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt
to 177 N'm (18.0 kgf.m, 130 lbnft).
CAUTION: Always adiust iiming belt lension with the
engin€ cold.
NOTE:
. The tensioner is spring-loaded to apply proper ten-
sion to the belt automatically after making the follow-
ing adjustment.
. Alwavs rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise when
viewed from the pulley side. Rotating it clockwise
may result in improper adjustment of the belt ten-
ston.
Remove the cylinder head cover. (Refer to page
6-33 when installing.)
Set the No. I piston at TDC (see page 6-12).
Rotate the crankshaft five to six revolutions to set
the belt.
Set the No. 1 piston at TDC.
