2. REMOVE RESERVOIR AND GROMMETS
(a) Remove the reservoir cap.
(b) Remove the 3 set screws and pull out the reservoir.
Torque: 1.7 N´m (17.5 kgf´cm, 15.2 in.´lbf)
(c) Remove the 3 grommets.
3. REMOVE CYLINDER BOOT
4. REMOVE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR
Using 30 mm deeper socket wrench and remove the oil pres-
sure sensor, spacer and O±ring.
Torque: 81 N´m (830 kgf´cm, 60 ft´lbf)
5. REMOVE PISTONS
(a) Pressing the piston in with a screwdriver, use a pin or an
equivalent to push the snap ring from the hole in the body
then remove it with another screwdriver.
(b) Remove the No. 1 and No. 2 piston, pulling straight out,
not at an angle.
NOTICE:

If pulled out and installed at an angle, there is a possi-
bility that the cylinder bore could be damaged.

At the time of reassembly, be careful not to damage
the rubber lips on the pistons.

COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE ENGINE COVER
Remove the 4 nuts and engine cover.
3. DISCONNECT IGNITION COILS AND HIGH±TENSION
CORD SET ASSEMBLY (See page IG±7)
4. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
5. DISCONNECT INJECTOR CONNECTORS
6. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION
(a) Insert a compression tester into the spark plug hole.
(b) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine revolutions
of 250 rpm or more.
(c) Repeat steps (a) through (b) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression:
1,324 kPa (13.5 kgf/cm
2, 192 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
1,079 kPa (11.0 kgf/cm
2, 156 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(d) If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (b) for
the cylinder with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are probably
worn or damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating improper, or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
