Valve Clearance
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).
1. Remove cylinder head cover.

2. Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC) (see
page 6-12). "UP" mark on the pulley should be at
the top, and the TDC grooves on the pulley should
align with the TDC groove on timing belt back
cover. TDC mark (painted white) on the crankshaftpulley should align with pointer on the timing belt

Timing Belt
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.

NOTE:
. Before installing the rubber seal, thoroughlyclean the seal and the groove.
. When installing, make sure the seal is seatedsecurely in the corners of the recesses with nogap.
RUEBER SEAL
18.Apply liquid gasket to the rubber seal at the eightcorners of the recesses.
NOTE:
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - OO01 or 08718- 0003.
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and drybefore applying liquid gasket.. Do not installthe parts if 5 minutes or more naveelapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.. After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes beforefilling the engine with oil.
Apply liquid gasket tothe shaded areas.

'1. Set the crankshaft to BDC for each cylinder.
2, Remove the connecting rod caps, and slip short sec-
tions of rubber hose over the threaded ends of the
connecting rod bolts.
3. Install the ring compressor, and check that the bear-
ing is securely in place.
4. Position the arrow facing the timing belt side of the

Position the piston in the cylinder. and tap it in
using the wooden handle of a hammer.
NOTE; Maintain downward force on the ring com-pressor to prevent rings from expanding before
entering the cylinder bore.
6. Stop after the ring compfessor pops free, and check
the connecting rod-to-crank journal alignment
