REMOVAL SERVICE POINT
ACYLINDER HEAD BOLT REMOVAL
Loosen the bolts in 2 or 3 steps in order of the numbers
shown in the illustration, and remove the cylinder head
assembly.
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
ACYLINDER HEAD GASKET INSTALLATION
(1) Wipe off all oil and grease from the gasket mounting
surface.
(2) Install so that the shapes of the cylinder head holes match
the shapes of the respective cylinder head gasket holes.
BCYLINDER HEAD BOLT INSTALLATION
(1) When installing the cylinder head bolts, the length below
the head of the bolts should be within the limit.
If it is outside the limit, replace the bolts.
Limit (A): 99.4 mm
(2) Apply a small amount of engine oil to the thread section
and the washer of the cylinder head bolt.

TIMING BELT “B” INSTALLATION
(1) Align timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket “B” and
counterbalance shaft sprocket with the marks on the front
case respectively.
(2) Install the timing belt “B” on the crankshaft sprocket “B”
and counterbalance shaft sprocket. There should be no
slack on the tension side.

ENGINE – Timing Belt11-30
(10)Fit the timing belt over the idler pulley, oil pump sprocket
and crankshaft sprocket in this order.
NOTE
Be careful that the belt does not become slack.
(11) Fit the timing belt over the tensioner pulley. NOTE
When fitting the timing belt over the tensioner pulley,
turn the intake side camshaft sprocket a little
counterclockwise, as this will facilitate the work.
(12)Turn the crankshaft pulley a little in the illustrated direction to pull up the timing belt at the idler pulley side.
(13)Check to ensure that the timing marks on the crankshaft sprocket, oil pump sprocket and exhaust camshaft
sprocket are all offset one tooth from the corresponding
timing marks in the counterclockwise direction.
(14)Using the special tool, turn the tensioner pulley in the illustrated direction to strain the timing belt. Then, secure
the tensioner temporarily by tightening the retaining bolt
lightly.
NOTE
There must be no slack in the timing belt between the
intake and exhaust camshafts.
(15)Turn the crankshaft to align the timing mark with the mark for No. 1 cylinder top dead center in the compression
stroke.
(16)Set the special tool as shown and screw it in up to the position where the wire inserted in the auto-tensioner
when installing it can be moved lightly.

ItemsSymptom
StartingWon’t startThe starter is used to crank the engine, but there is no combustion within the
cylinders, and the engine won’t start.
Fires up and diesThere is combustion within the cylinders, but then the engine soon stalls.
Hard startingEngine starts after cranking a while.
Idling
stabilityRough idle
HuntingEngine speed doesn’t remain constant and changes at idle.
Usually, a judgement can be based upon the movement of the tachometer
pointer, and the vibration transmitted to the steering wheel, shift lever, body, etc.
This is called rough idle or hunting.
Incorrect idle speedThe engine doesn’t idle at the usual correct speed.
Engine stall
(Die out)The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is released, regardless of whether
the vehicles is moving or not.
Engine stall
(Pass out)The engine stalls when the accelerator pedal is depressed or while it is being
used.
DrivingHesitation, Sag“Hesitation” is the delay in response of the vehicle speed (engine speed) that
occurs when the accelerator is depressed in order to accelerate from the speed
at which the vehicle is now traveling, or a temporary drop in vehicle speed
(engine speed) during such acceleration. Serious hesitation is called “sag”.
(Refer to Figure 1.)
Poor accelerationPoor acceleration is inability to obtain an acceleration corresponding to the
degree of throttle opening, even though acceleration is smooth, or the inability
to reach maximum speed.
StumbleEngine speed increase is delayed when the accelerator pedal is initially
depressed for acceleration. (Refer to Figure 2.)
ShockThe feeling of a comparatively large impact or vibration when the engine is
accelerated or decelerated.
SurgeThis is repeated forward or rearward surging during constant speed travel or
during variable speed travel.
KnockingA sharp sound like a hammer striking the cylinder walls during driving and which
adversely affects driving.
StoppingRun on
(“Dieseling”)The condition in which the engine continues to run after the ignition switch is
turned to OFF. Also called “Dieseling”.
