Inspection Using Special Tools (cont,dl
Loosen the valve on the regulator and apply thespecified air pressure.
Specified Air Pressuro:
250 kPa {2.5 kgtlcm,, 36 psil- 490 kPa {5.0 kgtcm,, 7t psil
Make sure that the primary and secondary rockerarms are mechanically connected by the pistonsand that the mid rocker arms do no. move wnenpushed manually.
SECONDARYROCKER ARM
. lf any mid rocker arm moves independently ofthe primary and secondary rocker arms, replacethe rocker arms as a set.
Remove the tools.
Check the operation of the lost motion assembly bypushing on the mid rocker arm. The lost motionassembly should compress fully and operatesmoothly through its full stroke. Replace the assem_bly if it does not work smoothly.
After inspection. check that the Malfunction Indi_cator Lamp {MlL) does not come on.

Timing Belt
Removal
NOTE:
. Replace the timing belt at 105,000 mites (168,000 km)according to the maintenance schedule (normal con-ditions/severe conditions).
lf the vehicle is regularly driven in one or more of thefollowing conditions, replace the timing belt at 60,OOOmiles (U.S.A.) 100,000 km {Canada).. In very high temperatures (over 110"F, 43"C).. In very low temperatures (under -20.F, 29.C).. Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is attop dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (seepage 6-57).
. Inspect the water pump before installing the timingbelt {see page 10-14).

Removal
Engine removal is not required for this procedure.
!@@ Make sure jacks and safety stands are placed
properly and hoist brackels are attached to correst posi-
tion on the engine,
CAUTION:
o Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted sur-
faces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiling connectors
carelully while holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F {38'Cl
before loosening the retaining bolt.
NOTE:
. Unspecified items are common.
. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
AIso, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses or interfere with other parts.
o Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
n eao.
. Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No. 1 piston is
at top dead center (see page 6-64).
1. Disconnect the negative terminal from the battery.
Drain the engine coolant {see page 10-7).
. Remove the radiator cap to speed draining.
Remove the strut brace (see page 5-2).
Remove the intake air duct and air cleaner housing
(see page 5-3).
Remove the adjusting bolt and mounting bolt, then
remove the power steering (P/S) pump belt and pump
(see page 5 5).

Rocker Arms and Lost Motion Assemblies
Inspection
NOTE: When reassembling the primary rocker arm, care-
fully apply air pressure to the oil passage of the rocker
arm.
PRIMARY ROCKER ARM
MID ROCKER ARM
Inspect each rocker arm piston. Push it manually
- lf it does not move smoothly. replace the rocker
arm assemDly.

NOTE:
. Apply oilto the pistons when reassembling.
. Bundle the rocker arms with a rubber band to
keep them together as a set.

Valve Guides
Replacement
1. As illustrated below, use a commerciallv available
air-impact valve guide driver attachment modified
to fit the diameter of the valve guides. ln most
cases, the same procedure can be done using the
sDecial tool and a conventional hammer.

Select the proper replacement guides and chill
them in the freezer section of a refrigerator for
about an hour.
Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300"F (150"C). Monitor the temperature with
a cooking thermometer.
CAUTION:
. Do not use a torch; it may warp tho head.. Do not get tho head hotter than 300"F {150"C};excesgive heat may loosen thg valve seats.. To avoid burns. use haaw gloves whon handling
the heatod cylinder head.
6-80
Working from the camshaft side, use the driver and
an air hammer to drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1 in)
towards the combustion chamber. This will knock off
some ofthe carbon and make removaleasier.
CAUTION:
. Always wsar safety goggles or a face shield whsn
driving valve guides.
. Hold the air hammer dir€ctly in line with the
valve guide to prevont damaging thg dtiver.
Turn the head over and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of the head.
VALVE GUIOE DRIVER,5.5 mm077{2 - 0010100
lf a valve guide still won't move. drill it out with a8.0 mm (5/16 in) bit, then try again.
CAUTION: Drill guides only in extreme cases; you
could damago the cylinder head if ths guide br6aks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a
time, as vou need them.

Oil Pressure
Use this procedure to tighten the filter if eight num-
bers (1 to 8) are printed on the surface of the filter.
1) Make a mark on the oil filter base under the num-
ber that shows at the bottom of the filter when
the rubber seal is seated.
2l Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers from the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point'
7/8 turn
Number when rubDer
seal is seated
Number after tightening.
CAUTION: Using any procedure other than those
shown could rosult in serious engins damage due
to oil leakage
5. After installation. fill the engine with oil up to the spec-
ified level, run the engine for more than three minutes,
then check for oil leakage

Testing
lf the oil pressure warning Iight stays on with the engine
running, check the engine oil level. It the oil level is cor-
rect:
1. Connect a tachometer'
2. Remove the engine oil pressure switch, and install an
oal pressure gauge.

{CommerciallY availablei
Start the engine. Shut it off immediately if the gauge
registers no oil pr€ssure. Repair the problem before
continuing.
Allow the engine to reach operating temperature (tan
comes on at least tlivice). The pressure should be;
Engine Oil Temperature: 176"F (80"C1
Engine Oil Pressulo:
At ldle: 69 kPa (0.7 kgf/Gm'. 10 Psi)
minimum
At 3.000 rpm: 3/Ut kPa (3.5 kgt/cm', 50 psi)
minimum
. lf the oil Dressure is within specifications, replace
the oil pressure switch and recheck.
. lf the oil pressure is NOT within specifications,
inspect the oil pump (see page 8-10).
