Measurement of Compression Pressure
1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC section (``Fuel Pressure Release'', ``BASIC SER-
VICE PROCEDURE'').
4. Remove all spark plugs.
5. Disconnect distributor center cable.
6. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder.
lAlways use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Compression pressure:
kPa (bar, kg/cm
2, psi)/rpm
Standard
1,324 (13.24, 13.5, 192)/300
Minimum
981 (9.8, 10, 142)/300
Difference limit between cylinders
98 (0.98, 1.0, 14)/300
10. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through
spark plug holes.
b. Retest compression.
lIf adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be
worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after check-
ing piston.
lIf pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat.
(Refer to SDS.) If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
lIf compression stays low in two cylinders that are next
to each other:
a. The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
b. Both cylinders may have valve component damage.
Inspect and repair as necessary.

Inspection
lCheck for cracks and excessive wear at roller links.
Replace chain if necessary.
Installation
1. Install crankshaft sprocket, oil pump drive gear and oil
thrower.
lMake sure that mating marks on crankshaft sprocket
face front of engine.
2. Position crankshaft so that No. 1 piston is set at TDC (Key-
way at 12 o'clock) fit timing chain to crankshaft sprocket so
that mating mark is in line with mating mark on crankshaft
sprocket.
3. Temporarily install cylinder head with new gasket. Position
camshaft so that keyway is set at 12 o'clock.
lSet timing chain by aligning its mating marks with those
of crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket.

3. Set chain on camshaft sprocket by aligning each mating
mark. Then install camshaft sprocket to camshaft.
4. Tighten camshaft sprocket bolt.
5. Install rubber plugs. Refer to TIMING CHAIN, EM-21.
6. Check hydraulic valve lifter.
a. Push hydraulic valve lifter forcefully with your finger.
lBe sure to check it with rocker arm in its free position.
b. If valve lifter moves more than 1 mm (0.04 in), air may be
inside of it.
c. Bleed air off by running engine at 1,000 rpm under no-load
for about 20 minutes.
d. If hydraulic valve lifters are still noisy, replace them and bleed
air off again in the same manner as in step c.
7. Install rocker cover. Refer to TIMING CHAIN, EM-21.
lBe sure to avoid interference between rocker cover and
rocker arm.
8. Install intake and exhaust manifolds. Refer to ``OUTER COM-
PONENT PARTS'', EM-9.

7. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool at the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS, EM-100.
8. After cutting, lap valve seat with a lapping compound.
9. Check contact condition of valve seat.
COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Check combustion chamber for cracks and other damage. If
necessary, replace.
REPLACING COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Usually combustion chamber should not be removed.
1. Remove combustion chamber so that cylinder head cannot
be damaged.
2. Install combustion chamber.

(1) Cool combustion chamber with dry ice for approximately 5 to
10 minutes.
WARNING:
Do not touch cooled combustion chamber with bare hand.
(2) Align combustion chamber knock pin with cylinder head
notch, and drive in combustion chamber with a soft hammer.
3. Check amount of protrusion of combustion chamber.
Protrusion:
Standard
þ0.05 to 0.10 mm (þ0.0020 to 0.0039 in)
VALVE DIMENSIONS
Check dimensions in each valve. For dimensions, refer to SDS.
When valve head has been worn down to 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
in margin thickness, replace the valve.
Grinding allowance for valve stem tip is 0.2 mm (0.008 in) or
less.

3. Apply oil to the thread portion and seat surface of bolts and
tighten cylinder head bolts using Tool.
CAUTION:
lTightening procedure
1st: Tighten bolts to 39 - 44 Nzm
(4.0 - 4.5 kg-m, 29 - 33 ft-lb).
2nd: Tighten bolts to 59 - 64 Nzm
(6.0 - 6.5 kg-m, 43 - 47 ft-lb).
3rd:
(1) Mark exhaust side of cylinder head and cylin-
der head bolts with paint as shown.
(2) Turn all bolts 90 10 degrees clockwise.
(3) Check that the paint mark of each bolt is fac-
ing the front of the vehicle.
lAlways check the bolt tightening angle with an
angle wrench or protractor. Do not check visu-
ally.
4. Apply engine oil and install push rods.
5. Install rocker shaft assembly.
Adjust intake and exhaust valve clearance tentatively.
Refer to ``Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance'',
``ENGINE MAINTENANCE'' in MA section.
6. Install rocker cover.
lBe sure the ``F'' mark on rocker cover plate faces upward and
is at the front end.
lWhen replacing rocker cover gasket, bend slit of rocker cover
baffle plate a little to hold the gasket. Do not twist gasket.
lTighten all bolts in numeral sequence (as shown in the
figure at left) to the specified torque.
