tents. The symbols printed at the top corner of each page can also
be used as a quick reference system.
Each section includesl
1. A table of contents, or an exploded view index showing:
. Parts disassemblY sequence.
. Bolt torques and thread sizes.
. Page references to descriptaons in text
2. Disassembly/assembly procedures and tools.
3. Inspection.
4. Testing/troubleshooting.
5. Repair.
6. Adjustments.

7. Perform the following:
. Clean the areas where the driveshaft(s) and theintermediate shaft contact the transmission (dif_ferential) thoroughly with solvent or carburetorcteaner, and dry with compressed air.. Check that the set rings on the ends of the drive_shaft and intermediate shaft click into place.CAUTION: Use new set rings,. Adjust the shift cable (see section 14).. Adjust the throttle cable (see section 11).. Adjust the cruise control cable (see section 23).. Refill the engine with engine oil (see page 8-6).. Refill the transmission with fluid (see section 13,14).
. Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see page10-7).
. Bleed air from the cooling system with the heatervalve open (see page j0-7).
. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals withsandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease toprevent corrosaon.. Inspect for fuel leakage (see section j l).After assembling the fuel line, turn on l) the igni_tion switch (do not operate the starter) so that thefuel pump runs for approximately two secondsand the fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this opera_taon two or three times, then check for fuel leak_age at any point in the fuel line,

5. With the specified air pressure appli€d, push up the
timing plate; the synchronizing piston will pop out
and engage the intake secondary rocker arm.
Visually check the engagement of the synchronizing
prston.
NOTE;
The synchronizing piston can be seen in the gap
between the secondary and primary rocker arms,
With the timing plate engaged in the groove on
the timing piston, the piston is locked in the

6. Stop applying air pressure and push up the timing
plate; the synchronizing piston will snap back to its
original position.
Visually check the disengagement of the synchro-
nizing pistons.
NOTE:
. When the timing plate is pushed up, it releases
the timing piston, letting the return spring move
the synchronizing piston to its original position.
7. Replace the intake rocker arms as an assembly if
either does not work correctly,

NOTE:
. Valves should be adjusted only when the cylindsrhead temperature is less than 100"F (38"C).
. After adjusting, retorque the crankshaft pulley bolt(see page 6-16).
1, Remove the cylinder head cover.
NOTE; Refer to page e46 when installing the cytinderhead cover.
2. Remove the upper cover (see page 6-19).
3. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC. The "UP" mark on the
cam-shaft pulley should be at top, and the TDC
marks should align with the cylinder head surface.

Replacement (Cylinder head removal not requiredl
NOTE: Cylinder head removal is not required in thisprocedure.
The procedure shown below applies when using the in-
car valve spring compressor (Snap-on YA884S withY48845 - 2 A7/8" attachment).
!@@ Alway wear approved eye protection whenusing ihe in-cai valve spring compressor.
1. Turn the crankshaft so that the No. I and the No. 4pistons are at top dead center (TDC).
2. Remove the cylinder head cover and the rocker arm
assembly.
NOTE:
. Refer to page 6-30 for rocker arm assembly
removat.
. When removing or installing the rocker armassembly, do not remove the camshaft holder
bolts. The bolts will keep the holders, springs
and rocker arms on the shaft.
. Refer to page 6-46 when installing the cylinder
head cover.
Remove the fuel injectors and the wire harness.
Using the 8 mm bolts supplied with the tool. mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end

OIL PASSAGES
Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so thelever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for thespring being compressed. Use the front position
