DIAGNOSIS
DIAGNOSIS TABLE
Refer to “ENGINE MECHANICAL DIAGNOSIS TABLE” in Sec-
tion 6.
COMPRESSION CHECK
Check compression pressure on all 4 cylinders as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
2) Stop engine after warming up.
3) Remove air cleaner assembly (1), resonator (2) and hoses.
Refer to “AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLY AND RESONATOR”.

6A1-6 ENGINE MECHANICAL (M13 ENGINE)
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”.

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.

VALVE LASH (CLEARANCE)
INSPECTION
1) Remove negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover referring to “CYLINDER HEAD
COVER”.
3) Remove right side engine cover if necessary.
4) Using 17 mm wrench, turn crankshaft pulley (1) clockwise
until cam lobes (2) become perpendicular to shim faces (3)
at valves “1” and “7” as shown in figure.
5) Check valve lashes with thickness gauge (4) according to
the following procedure.
a) Check valve lashes at valves “1” and “7”.
b) Turn camshafts by 90° (by turning crankshaft with wrench).
c) Make sure that cam lobes are perpendicular to shim faces
at valves to be checked (in this case, “3” and “8”), if not,
adjust it by turning crankshaft. Check valve lashes.
d) In the same manner as b) – c), check valve lashes at valves
“4” and “6”.
e) In the same manner as b) – c) again, check valve lashes at
valves “2” and “5”.

6B-2 ENGINE COOLING
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The cooling system consists of the radiator cap, radiator, coolant reservoir tank, hoses, water pump, cooling fan
and thermostat. The radiator is of tube-and-fin type.
COOLING SYSTEM CIRCULATION
While the engine is warmed up (thermostat closed), coolant circulates as follows.
When coolant is warmed up to normal temperature and the thermostat opens, coolant passes through the radi-
ator core to be cooled as well as the above flow circuit.
