WARNING:
For vehicles equipped with Supplemental 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 of 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).
NOTE:
For the descriptions (items) not found in this section, refer to the same section of Service Manual men-
tioned in FOREWORD of this manual.

6A-12 ENGINE MECHANICAL (G10, 1-CAM 6-VALVES ENGINE)
1. Camshaft allowable turning range – – – By timing
mark, within 90 from “V” mark on head cover on
both right and left.
2. Crankshaft allowable turning range – – – by punch
mark, within 90 from arrow mark on oil pump case
on both right and left.
CAUTION:
After timing belt is removed, never turn camshaft and crank-
shaft independently more than such an extent as shown be-
low. If turned, interference may occur among piston and
valves, and parts related to piston and valves may be dam-
aged.
12) Remove tensioner, tensioner plate, tensioner spring and
spring damper.
INSPECTION

Check timing belt for wear or crack. Replace it as necessary.

Check tensioner for smooth rotation and rattle.
INSTALLATION
1) Install tensioner plate (1) to tensioner (2).
Insert lug (3) of tensioner plate into hole (4) of tensioner.
2) Install tensioner (2) and tensioner plate (3).
Do not tighten the tensioner bolt (1) and stud by wrench yet.
Hand tighten only at this time.
Check to ensure that plate movement in arrow direction as
shown in figure causes tensioner to move in the same direction.
If no associated movement between plate and tensioner occurs,
remove tensioner and plate again and reinsert the plate lug into
tensioner hole.

1. Crank timing belt pulley bolt

ENGINE MECHANICAL (G10, 1-CAM 6-VALVES ENGINE) 6A-13
3) Check that timing mark (3) on camshaft timing belt pulley (1) is
aligned with “V” mark (2) on cylinder head cover (4). If not, align
two marks by turning camshaft but be careful not to turn it more
than its allowable turning range which is described on previous
page.
4) Check that punch mark (2) on crank timing belt pulley (4) is
aligned with arrow mark (3) on oil pump case. If not, align two
marks by turning crankshaft but be careful not to turn it more
than its allowable turning range which is described on previous
page.
5) With two sets of marks aligned, install timing belt (1) on two pul-
leys in such a way that the drive side of belt is free of any slack,
and with tensioner plate pushed up by finger.
And then install tensioner spring and spring damper (2) as
shown in figure, and handtighten tensioner stud.
NOTE:

When installing timing belt, match arrow mark (
) on
timing belt with rotating direction of crankshaft.

In this state, No.1 piston is at top dead center of compres-
sion stroke.
6) To take up slack of timing belt, turn crankshaft two rotations
clockwise after installing it. After making sure that belt is free
from slack, tighten tensioner stud (1) first and then tensioner bolt
(2) to each specified torque.
Then confirm again that two sets of marks are aligned respec-
tively.

REMOVAL
1) Disconnect negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover as previously outlined.
3) Remove distributor and then its case from cylinder head.
4) Remove crankshaft pulley, timing belt outside cover and timing
belt as previously outlined.
After removing timing belt, set key (2) on crankshaft in position
as shown in figure by turning crankshaft. This is to prevent inter-
ference between valves and piston when reinstalling camshaft.
5) Remove camshaft timing belt pulley (1).
Lock camshaft (2) with a proper size rod (3) inserted into hole (10
mm, 0.39 in.) in it as shown and then loosen camshaft timing belt
pulley bolt.
NOTE:
Mating surfaces of cylinder head and cover must not be
damaged in this work. So, put clean shop cloth (4) between
rod and mating surfaces, and use care not to bump rod
against mating surfaces hard when loosening bolt.

6A-20 ENGINE MECHANICAL (G10, 1-CAM 6-VALVES ENGINE)
CAUTION:

Don’t turn camshaft or start engine (i.e., valves should not be operated) for about half an hour after
reinstalling hydraulic valve lash adjusters and camshaft. As it takes time for valves to settle in place,
operating engine within half an hour after their installation may cause interference to occur between
valves and piston.

If air is trapped in valve lash adjuster, valve may make tapping sound when engine is operated after
valve lash adjuster is installed. In such a case, run engine for about half an hour at about 2,000 – 3,000
r / min., and then air will be purged and tapping sound will cease. Should tapping should not cease,
it is possible that valve lash adjuster is defective. Replace it if defective.
If defective adjuster can’t be located by hearing among 6 of them, check as follows.
1) Stop engine and remove cylinder head cover.
2) Push adjuster downward by hand (with less than 15 kg or 33 lbs force) when cam crest is not on
adjuster to be checked and check if clearance exists between cam and adjuster. If it does, adjuster
is defective and needs replacement.
VALVE LASH ADJUSTER NOISE DIAGNOSIS
In case of the followings, valve lash adjuster noise may be caused by air trapped into valve lash adjusters.

Vehicle is left for 24 hours or more.

Engine oil is changed.

Hydraulic lash adjuster is replaced or reinstalled.

Engine is overhauled.
If noise from valve lash adjusters is suspected, perform the following checks.
1) Check engine oil for the followings.

Oil level in oil pan
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level hole on oil level gauge.

Oil quality
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to Section 0B.

Oil leaks
If leak is found, repair it.

Oil pressure (refer to Oil Pressure Check in this section)
If defective pressure is found, repair it.
2) Run engine for about half an hour at about 2,000 to 3,000 r / min., and then air will be purge and tapping sound
will cease.
3) Should tapping sound not cease, it is possible that hydraulic valve lash adjuster is defective.
Replace it if defective.
If defective adjuster can’t be located by hearing among 16 of them, check as follows.
a) Stop engine and remove cylinder head cover.
b) Push adjuster downward by hand (with less than 20 kg or 44 lbs. Force) when cam crest is not on adjuster
to be check if clearance exists between cam and adjuster.
If it does, adjuster is defective and needs replacement.

Piston Rings
To measure end gap, insert piston ring into cylinder bore as shown
in figure and then measure gap by using thickness gauge.
If measured gap is out of specification, replace ring.
NOTE:
Decarbon and clean the top of cylinder bore before inserting
piston ring.
