Measurement of Compression Pressure
1. Warm up engine.
2. Stop engine. Remove glow plate and glow plugs.
3. Fit compression gauge adapter to cylinder head.
Compression gauge adapter:
:15-20Nzm (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
4. Disconnect fuel cut solenoid wire connector.
5. Crank engine, then read gauge indication.
lEngine compression measurement should be made as
quickly as possible.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2, psi)/200 rpm
Standard 2,942 (29.4, 30, 427)
Minimum 2,452 (24.5, 25, 356)
Differential limit between cylinders 294 (2.9, 3, 43)
6. If cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour
a small quantity of engine oil into cylinders through the glow
holes and retest compression.
lIf adding oil helps the compression pressure, chances
are that piston rings are worn or damaged.
lIf pressure stays low, valve may be sticking or seating
improperly.
lIf cylinder compression in any two adjacent cylinders is
low, and if adding oil does not help the compression,
there is leakage past the gasketed surface.
Oil and water in combustion chambers can result from
this problem.

WARNING:
lPlace vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
lPlace chocks at front and rear of rear wheels.
lYou should not remove oil pan until exhaust system and
cooling system have completely cooled off.
Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break
out in the fuel line.
lWhen removing front and/or rear engine mounting bolts
or nuts, lift up slightly engine for safety work.
CAUTION:
lIn lifting engine, be careful not to hit against adjacent
parts, especially against accelerator wire casing end,
brake tube and brake master cylinder.
lFor tightening torque, refer to EM-71, MT and PD sec-
tions.
Remove oil pan bolts in order shown.
Installation
1. Install the oil pan gasket with the coated surface facing the
cylinder block and the notch facing the rear of the engine.
2. Tighten all bolts in reverse order of removal. For tightening
torque of oil pan and correct installing direction of drain plug
washer, refer to EM-71.

CAUTION:
lWhen installing sliding parts such as rocker arms, cam-
shaft and oil seal, be sure to apply new engine oil on
their sliding surfaces.
lWhen tightening cylinder head bolts and rocker shaft
bolts, apply new engine oil to thread portions and seat
surfaces of bolts.
Removal
1. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC (top dead center) on its compres-
sion stroke.
2. Drain engine coolant from drain plugs on cylinder block and
radiator.
3. Remove air cleaner and/or air duct.
4. Remove alternator adjusting bolt.
5. Disconnect exhaust manifold from front exhaust tube.
6. Disconnect radiator outlet hose and thermostat housing
water inlet hose.
7. Remove air intake housing.
8. Remove fuel injection tube assembly and spill tube.
9. Remove injection nozzle holder and top nozzle gasket using
deep socket wrench.
