ENGINE VACUUM CHECK
The engine vacuum that develops in the intake line is a good indica-
tor of the condition of the engine. The vacuum checking procedure
is as follows:
1) Warm up engine to normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
After warming up engine, place transmission gear shift le-
ver in “Neutral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A / T
model), and set parking brake and block drive wheels.
2) With engine stopped, disconnect EVAP canister purge valve
hose from intake manifold and connect 3-way joint, hoses and
special tools (vacuum gauge and joint) between intake manifold
and vacuum hose disconnected.

(C): Hose 09343-03087
(D): 3-way joint 09367-04002
3) Run engine at specified idle speed, and read vacuum gauge.
Vacuum should be within the following specification.
Vacuum specification (at sea level):
52.6 – 65.8 kPa (40 – 50 cm
Hg, 15.7 – 19.7 in.Hg) at specified
idling speed
4) After checking, connect vacuum hose to intake surge tank.

OIL PRESSURE CHECK
NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the following items.

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

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

Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Remove oil pressure switch (1) from cylinder block.
2) Install special tool (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.

(A): 09915-77311
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
NOTE:
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.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 r / min and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification:
360 – 440 kPa (3.6 – 4.4 kg / cm
2, 51.2 – 62.6 psi) at 4,000 r / min
(rpm)
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge.

6) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (1), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with sealing tape (2) and tighten switch to speci-
fied torque.
NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.

VALVE LASH (CLEARANCE)
1) Remove negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover referring to item “Cylinder Head
cover”.
3) Remove engine under cover of right side from body.
4) Using special tool and wrench (1), turn crankshaft pulley clock-
wise until “V” mark (2) (in white paint) on pulley aligns with “0”
(zero) calibrated on timing belt cover.
Special Tool
(A): 09919-16020
5) See if the rocker arms of No.1 cylinder are off the respective cam
lobes (of camshaft); if so, valves (1), (2), (5) and (7) in figure are
ready for clearance checking and adjustment. Check valve
lashes at valves (1), (2), (5) and (7).
If the rocker arms of No.4 cylinder are off the respective cam
lobes, check valve lashes at valves (3), (4), (6) and (8).
NOTE:
When checking valve clearance, insert thickness gauge be-
tween camshaft and cam-riding face of rocker arm.

6) If valve lash is out of specification, adjust it to specification by
turning adjusting screw after loosening lock nut.
After adjustment, tighten lock nut to specified torque while hold-
ing adjusting screw stationary, and then make sure again that
valve lash is within specification.

7) After checking and adjusting valve lashes at valves (1), (2), (5)
and (7), (or (3), (4), (6) and (8)) rotate crankshaft exactly one full
turn (360) and check the same at valves (3), (4), (6) and (8) (or
(1), (2), (5) and (7)). Adjust them as necessary.
8) After checking and adjusting all valves, reverse removal proce-
dure for installation.
