13) After checking, install spark plugs and ignition coil assem-
blies (1) with high-tension cord (2).
14) Connect ignition coil couplers (3).
15) Connect fuel injector wires(4) at the coupler.
16) Check cylinder head upper cover gasket for deterioration
and then install it into groove of cylinder head upper cover
(1) securely.
17) Install cylinder head upper cover with gasket on to cylinder
head cover.
18) Install air cleaner assembly, resonator and hoses referring to
“AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND RESONATOR”.
ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indi-
cator of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking proce-
dure is as follows :
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine and turn off the all electric switches.
3) Remove cap (1) from intake manifold.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, be sure to place transmission
gear shift lever in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P”
range for A/T model), and set parking brake and block
drive wheels.

2) Install special tools (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77310
(B) : 09915-78211
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 rpm and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification
: 280 – 430 kPa (2.8 – 4.3 kg/cm
2, 39.8 – 61.1 psi)
at 4,000 rpm
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge and attachment.
6) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (2), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with sealing tape (1) and tighten switch to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Oil pressure switch (a) : 14 N·m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
7) Start engine and check oil pressure switch for oil leakage.
If oil leakage is found, repair it.
8) Connect oil pressure switch coupler (1).
NOTE:
Be sure to place transmission gear shift lever in “Neu-
tral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T model), and
set parking brake and block drive wheels.
NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.

INSTALLATION
1) Apply engine oil to pistons, rings, cylinder walls, connecting
rod bearings and crankpins.
2) Install guide hoses (1) over connecting rod bolts.
These guide hoses protect crank pin and threads of rod bolt
from damage during installation of connecting rod and piston
assembly.
3) When installing piston and connecting rod assembly into cyl-
inder bore, point front mark on piston head to crankshaft pul-
ley side.
4) Install piston and connecting rod assembly into cylinder
bore. Use special tool (Piston ring compressor) to compress
rings. Guide connecting rod into place on crankshaft.
Using a hammer handle, tap piston head to install piston into
bore. Hold ring compressor firmly against cylinder block until
all piston rings have entered cylinder bore.
Special tool
(A) : 09916-77310
5) Install bearing cap (1):
Point arrow mark (2) on cap to crankshaft pulley side.
After applying oil to rod bolts and tighten cap nuts (3) gradu-
ally as follows.
a) Tighten all cap nuts to 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft).
b) Retighten them to 45°.
c) Repeat Step b) once again.
Tightening torque
Connecting rod bearing cap nuts
(a) : 15 N·m (1.5 kg-m, 11.0 lb-ft) and then turn to 45° twice. NOTE:
Do not apply oil between connecting rod and bearing or
between bearing cap and bearing.
A : Crankshaft pulley side
B : Flywheel side
