COMPRESSION
INSPECTION
HINT:
If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. WARM UP AND STOP ENGINE
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. REMOVE IGNITION COILS (See page IG-5)
3. REMOVE SPARK PLUGS
Using a 16 mm plug wrench, remove the 6 spark plugs.
4. CHECK CYLINDER COMPRESSION PRESSURE
(a) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(b) Fully open the throttle.
(c) While cranking the engine, measure the compression
pressure.
HINT:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of
250 rpm or more.
(d) Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
NOTICE:
This measurement must be done in as short a time as pos-
sible.
Compression pressure:
1,500 kPa (15.3 kgf/cm
2, 218 psi)
Minimum pressure:
1,000 kPa (10.2 kgf/cm
2, 145 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
100 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 15 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low,
pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for
cylinders with low compression.

If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that
the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.

If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or
seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
5. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS
6. INSTALL IGNITION COILS (See page IG-5)

26. CHECK CONNECTING ROD THRUST CLEARANCE
Using a dial indicator, measure the thrust clearance while mov-
ing the connecting rod back and forth.
Standard thrust clearance:
0.15 - 0.30 mm (0.0059 - 0.0118 in.)
Maximum thrust clearance: 0.35 mm (0.0138 in.)
If the thrust clearance is greater than maximum, replace the
connecting rod assembly(s). If necessary, replace the crank-
shaft.
Connecting rod thickness:
20.80 - 20.85 mm (0.8189 - 0.8209 in.)
27. REMOVE CONNECTING ROD CAPS AND CHECK OIL
CLEARANCE
(a) Check the matchmarks on the connecting rod and cap are
aligned to ensure correct reassembly.
(b) Remove the 2 connecting rod cap bolts.
(c) Using the 2 removed connecting rod cap bolts, remove
the connecting rod cap and lower bearing by wiggling the
connecting rod cap right and left.
HINT:
Keep the lower bearing inserted with the connecting rod cap.
(d) Clean the crank pin and bearing.
(e) Check the crank pin and bearing for pitting and scratches.
If the crank pin or bearing is damaged, replace the bearings. If
necessary, replace the crankshaft.
