6A1-2 ENGINE MECHANICAL (G13B, 1-CAM 16-VALVES ENGINE)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
ENGINE
The engine is a water-cooled, in line 4 cylinders, 4 stroke cycle gasoline unit equipped with its S.O.H.C. (Single
Overhead Camshaft) valve mechanism arranged for “V”-type valve configuration and 16 valves (IN 2 and EX 2 / one
cylinder).
The single overhead camshaft is mounted over the cylinder head: it is driven from crankshaft through timing belt
and opens and closes its valves via the rocker arms.

ENGINE LUBRICATION
The oil pump is of a trochoid type, and mounted on crankshaft at crankshaft pulley side.
Oil is drawn up through oil pump strainer and passed through pump to oil filter.
The filtered oil flows into two paths in cylinder block. In one path, oil reaches crankshaft journal bearings.
Oil from crankshaft journal bearings is supplied to connecting rod bearings by means of intersecting passages
drilled in crankshaft, and then injected from a small hole provided on big end of connecting rod to lubricate piston,
rings, and cylinder wall.
In another path, oil goes up to cylinder head and lubricates camshaft journals, rocker arms, camshaft, etc., passing
through oil gallery in rocker arm shaft.
An oil relief valve is provided on oil pump. This valve starts relieving oil pressure when the pressure comes over
about 400 kPa (4.0 kg / cm
2, 56.9 psi). Relieved oil drains back to oil pan.

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.

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.
