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.

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.

With crankshaft locked, remove crankshaft timing belt pulley
bolt (3).
9) Remove crankshaft pulley bolts (1).
10) Remove crankshaft pulley (4).
11) Install crankshaft timing belt pulley bolt temporarily to turn
crankshaft.
12) Release harness clamps.
13) Remove timing belt outside cover.
14) For installation of timing belt, align 4 timing marks as shown in
figure by turning crankshaft.
15) Remove timing belt tensioner (3), tensioner plate (2), tensioner
spring (5) and timing belt (1).

CAUTION:
After timing belt is removed, never turn camshaft and
crankshaft independently more than such an extent as
shown in figure. If turned, interference may occur among
piston and valves, and parts related to piston and valves
may be damaged.
Never bend timing belt.
INSPECTION
Inspect timing belt for wear or crack.
Replace it as necessary.
Inspect tensioner for smooth rotation.
INSTALLATION
1) Install tensioner plate to tensioner.
Insert lug (1) of tensioner plate into hole (2) in tensioner.

2) Install tensioner (2) and tensioner plate (3):
Do not tighten tensioner bolt (1) with 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 plate lug into ten-
sioner hole.
3) Check that timing mark (2) on camshaft timing belt pulley is
aligned with “V” mark (1) on cylinder head cover. 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 timing mark (2) on crankshaft timing belt pulley is
aligned with arrow mark (1) 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) Install timing belt and tensioner spring (2).
With two sets of marks aligned and tensioner plate pushed up,
install timing belt on two pulleys in such a way that drive side (1)
of belt is free from any slack.
And then install tensioner spring as shown in figure, and hand-
tighten tensioner stud (3).
NOTE:
When installing timing belt, match arrow mark (
) on
timing belt with rotating direction of crankshaft.
In this state, No. 4 piston is at top dead center of compres-
sion stroke.
