(f) Lightly turn the No. 1 balance shaft by hand and meas±
ure the backlash.
HINT:
wTurn the No.1 balance shaft 4 or 5 times to
provide a steady backlash reading.
wTo prevent excessive backlash due to thrust cle±
arance, measure the backlash while pressing on
the rear of the No.1 balance shaft.
Standard backlash:
Off±vehicle

(g) Remove the dial gauge and the SST. (e) Set the SST and the dial indicator as shown in the
illustration.
SST 09224± 74010
HINT: Make sure that the±needle of the dial indicator is
perpendicular to the SST and that it is placed in the
middle of the third indention.(d) 1 st turn the crankshaft clockwise, and align the
groove of the No.2 balance shaft housing with the
punch mark A of the No. 1 balance shaft. (c) Check that the punch marks A and B are at the

5. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance
while moving the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.160 ± 0.312 mm (0.0063 ± 0.0123 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.36 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, re±
place the connecting rod assembly. If necessary, re±
place the crankshaft.
6. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK
OIL CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap
to ensure correct reassembly.
(c) Using a plastic±faced hammer, lightly tap the con±
necting rod bolts and lift off the connecting rod cap.
HINT: Keep the lower bearing inserted with the con±
necting rod cap.4. REMOVE ENGINE BALANCER
(a) Uniformly loosen and remove the 6 bolts in several
passes, in the sequence shown.
(b) Remove the engine balancer and spacers.

(f) Check the crankshaft thrust clearance.
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clear±
ance while prying the crankshaft back an forth
with a screwdriver.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.020 ± 0.220 mm (0.0008 ± 0.0087 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance:
0.30 mm (0.0118 In.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, re±
place the thrust washers as a set.
5. INSTALL PISTON AND CONNECTING ROD

PRECAUTION
1. Before working on the fuel system, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
HINT: Any diagnostic trouble code retained by the
computer will be erased when the battery terminal is
removed.
Therefore, if necessary, read the diagnosis before
removing the terminal.
CAUTION: Work must be started after 90 seconds from
the time the ignition switch is turned to the 'LOCK'
position and the negative (±) terminal cable is discon±
nected from the battery.
2. Do not smoke or work near an open flame when
working on the fuel system.
3. Keep gasoline away from rubber or leather parts.
3. IN EVENT OF ENGINE MISFIRE, FOLLOWING
PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN
(a) Check proper connection of battery terminals, etc.
(b) Handle high±tension cords carefully.
(c) After repair work, check that the ignition coil termi±
nals and all other ignition system lines are reconne±
cted securely.
(d) When cleaning the engine compartment, be especially
careful to protect the electrical system from water.
4. PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING OXYGEN
SENSOR
(a) Do not allow oxygen sensor to drop or hit against an
object.
(b) Do not allow the sensor to come into contact with
water.
MAINTENANCE PRECAUTIONS
1. CHECK CORRECT ENGINE TUNE±UP
(See page EG1±8)
2. PRECAUTION WHEN CONNECTING GAUGE
(a) Use battery as the power source for the timing light,
tachometer, etc.
(b) Connect the tester probe of a tachometer to the termi±
nal IGE) of the data link connector 1.

ELECTRONIC CONTROL SYSTEM
1. Before removing MFI/SFI wiring connectors, termi±
nals, etc., first disconnect the power by either turning
the ignition switch OFF or disconnecting the battery
terminals.
HINT: Always check the diagnostic trouble code
before disconnecting the negative (±) terminal cable
from the battery.
2. When installing the battery, be especially careful not
to incorrectly connect the positive (+) and negative
(±) cables.
3. Do not permit parts to receive a severe impact during
removal or installation. Handle all MFI/SFI parts care±
fully, especially the ECM.
4. Do not be careless during troubleshooting as there are
numerous transistor circuits and even slight terminal
contact can further troubles.
5. Do not open the ECM cover.
6. When inspecting during rainy weather, take care to
prevent entry of water. Also, when washing the
engine compartment, prevent water from getting on
the MFI/SFI parts and wiring connectors.
7. Parts should be replaced as an assembly.
AIR INDUCTION SYSTEM
1. Separation of the engine oil dipstick, oil filler cap, PCV
hose, etc. may cause the engine to run out of tune.
2. Disconnection, looseness or cracks in the parts of the
air induction system between the throttle body and
cylinder head will allow air suction and cause the
engine to run out of tune.
IF VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH MOBILE
RADIO SYSTEM (HAM, CB, ETC.)
If the vehicle is equipped with a mobile communica±
tion system, refer to the precaution in the IN section.
