Trouble Diagnoses
Before conducting an alternator test, make sure that the battery is fully charged. A 30-volt voltmeter and
suitable test probes are necessary for the test. The alternator can be checked easily by referring to the
Inspection Table.
Before starting, inspect the fusible link.
Use fully charged battery.

Removal and Installation
WIPER ARMS
1. Prior to wiper arm installation, turn on wiper switch to oper-
ate wiper motor and then turn it“OFF”(Auto Stop).
2. Lift the blade up and then set it down onto glass surface. Set
the blade center to clearance“C”immediately before tight-
ening nut.
3. Eject washer fluid. Turn on wiper switch to operate wiper
motor and then turn it“OFF”.
4. Ensure that wiper blades stop within clearance“C”.
Clearance“C”: 19 - 33 mm (0.75 - 1.30 in)
Tighten windshield wiper arm nuts to specified torque.
:21-26N·m (2.1 - 2.7 kg-m, 15 - 20 ft-lb)
Before reinstalling wiper arm, clean up the pivot area as
illustrated. This will reduce possibility of wiper arm
looseness.

Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
ISome important engine parts are tightened using an angular-
tightening method rather than a torque setting method.
IIf these parts are tightened using a torque setting method,
dispersal of the tightening force (axial bolt force) will be two or
three times that of the dispersal produced by using the correct
angular-tightening method.
IAlthough the torque setting values (described in this manual)
are equivalent to those used when bolts and nuts are tightened
with an angular-tightening method, they should be used for
reference only.
ITo assure the satisfactory maintenance of the engine, bolts
and nuts must be tightened using an angular-tightening
method.
IBefore tightening the bolts and nuts, ensure that the thread
and seating surfaces are clean and then coated with engine oil.
IThe bolts and nuts which require the angular-tightening
method are as follows:
(1) Cylinder head bolts ..... SR, CD, QG
(2) Main bearing cap bolts ..... SR
(3) Connecting rod cap nuts ..... SR, QG
Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove
all traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface and
groove, and then completely clean any oil stains from
these areas.
b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
IBe sure liquid gasket is 4.0 to 5.0 mm (0.157 to 0.197
in) wide for SR engine and 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to
0.177 in) wide for QG and CD engine (for oil pan).
IBe sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to
0.118 in) wide (in areas except oil pan).
c. Apply liquid gasket to inner surface around hole perim-
eter area.
(Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coat-
ing.)
d. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling with engine oil
and engine coolant.

cylinder block.
7. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surface of
front cover.
ICheck alignment of mating marks on chain and crankshaft
sprocket.
IAlign oil drive spacer with oil pump.
IPlace timing chain to the side of chain guide. This pre-
vents the chain from making contact with water seal area
of front cover.
