As camshaft housing No.1 (1) retains camshaft in proper
position as to thrust direction, make sure to first fit No.1 hous-
ing to No.1 journal of camshaft securely.

After applying engine oil to housing bolts, tighten them tem-
porarily first. Then tighten them by following sequence as
shown in figure.
Tighten a little at a time and evenly among bolts and repeat
tightening sequence three to four times before they are tight-
ened to specified torque.

INSPECTION
Valve Guides
Using a micrometer and bore gauge, take diameter readings on
valve stems and guides to check stem-to-guide clearance.
Be sure to take reading at more than one place along the length of
each stem and guide.
If clearance exceeds limit, replace valve and valve guide.

WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplement Restraint (Air Bag) System:

Service on and around the air bag system components or wiring must be performed only by an autho-
rized SUZUKI dealer. Refer to “Air Bag System Components and Wiring Location View” under “Gener-
al Description” in air bag system section in order to confirm whether you are performing service on
or near the air bag system components or wiring. Please observe all WARNINGS and “Service Precau-
tions” under “On-Vehicle Service” in air bag system section before performing service on or around
the air bag system components or wiring. Failure to follow WARNINGS could result in unintentional
activation of the system or could render the system inoperative. Either or these two conditions may
result in severe injury.

Technical service work must be started at least 90 seconds after the ignition switch is turned to the
“LOCK” position and the negative cable is disconnected from the battery. Otherwise, the system may
be activated by reserve energy in the Sensing and Diagnostic Module (SDM).

CYLINDER BLOCK
The cylinder block is made of cast aluminum alloy and
has 4 cylinders arranged “In-Line”. A cylindrical cast
iron sleeve is installed in each cylinder.
CRANKSHAFT AND MAIN
BEARINGS
A monoblock casting crankshaft is supported by
5 main bearings which are of precision insert type.
Four crank pins on the crankshaft are positioned 180
apart.
PISTONS, RINGS, PISTON PINS AND
CONNECTING RODS
The piston is cast aluminum alloy, and has two com-
pression rings and one oil ring.
Among two compression rings (top and 2nd rings),
the outer surface of the top ring is treated with hard
chromium for improvement in abrasion resistance.
The oil ring consists of two rails and one spacer. The
piston pin is offset 0.5 mm towards the major thrust
side.This allows a gradual change in thrust pressure
against the cylinder wall as the piston travels its path.
Pins, made of chromium steel, have a floating fit in the
pistons and in the connecting rods. The connecting
rods are made of forged steel, and the rod bearings
are of precision insert type.
CYLINDER HEAD AND VALVE TRAIN
The cylinder head is made of aluminum casting. The
supporting part of the camshaft is an independent cap
type. The combustion chamber has 4 valves and uses
the center plug type pent roof shape for higher intake
and exhaust efficiency.
As the intake side rocker arm is end pivot type, it
swings according to the camshaft movement to open
and close the intake valve.
On the other hand, the exhaust side rocker arm is see-
saw type. It swings with the rocker arm shaft as its
supporting point and according to the camshaft
movement to open and close the exhaust valve.

5) Install new valve stem seal (1) to valve guide.
After applying engine oil to seal and spindle of special tool (Valve
guide installer handle), fit oil seal to spindle, and then install seal
to valve guide by pushing special tool by hand.
After installing, check to be sure that seal is properly fixed to
valve guide.
Special Tool

(B): 09916-58210
NOTE:

Do not reuse seal once disassembled. Be sure to install
new seal.

When installing, never tap or hit special tool with a ham-
mer or else. Install seal to guide only by pushing special
tool by hand. Tapping or hitting special tool may cause
damage to seal.
6) Install valve to valve guide.
Before installing valve to valve guide, apply engine oil to stem
seal, valve guide bore, and valve stem.
7) Install valve spring and spring retainer.
Each valve spring has top end (large-pitch (1) end) and bottom
end (small-pitch (2) end). Be sure to position spring in place with
its bottom end (small-pitch end) facing the bottom (valve spring
seat side).
8) Using special tools (Valve lifter), compress valve spring and fit
two valve cotters (1) into groove in valve stem.

INSPECTION
Cylinders

Inspect cylinder walls for scratches, roughness, or ridges which
indicate excessive wear. If cylinder bore is very rough or deeply
scratched, or ridged, rebore cylinder and use oversize piston.

Using a cylinder gauge, measure cylinder bore in thrust and axial
directions at two positions as shown in figure.
If any of the following conditions is noted, rebore cylinder.
1) Cylinder bore dia. exceeds limit.
2) Difference of measurements at two positions exceeds taper lim-
it.
3) Difference between thrust and axial measurements exceeds
out-of-round limit.
Cylinder bore dia. limit: 74.15 mm (2.9196 in.)
Tapper and out-of-round limit: 0.10 mm (0.0039 in.)
NOTE:
If any one of four cylinders has to be rebored, rebore all four
to the same next oversize. This is necessary for the sake of
uniformity and balance.
Pistons

Inspect piston for faults, cracks or other damaged.
Damaged or faulty piston should be replaced.

Piston diameter:
As indicated in figure, piston diameter should be measured at a
position 23 mm (0.91 in.) from piston skirt end in the direction per-
pendicular to piston pin.
