INSPECTION
HINT:
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.

8. SET NO.1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
(a) Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the
timing mark º0º of the No.1 timing belt cover.
(b) Check that the valve lifters on the No.1 (IN and EX) are
loose.
If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°) and align the mark

(1) Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance be-
tween the valve lifter and camshaft.
(2) Record out of specification valve clearance mea-
surements. They will be used later to determine the
required replacement adjusting shim.
Valve clearance (Cold):
Intake0.15 - 0.25 mm (0.006 - 0.010 in.)

FOR ALL OF VEHICLES
PRECAUTION
1. FOR VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH SRS AIRBAG AND
SEAT BELT PRETENSIONER
(a) The AVALON is equipped with an SRS (Supplemental
Restraint System), such as the driver airbag, front pas-
senger airbag assembly, side airbag assembly and seat
belt pretensioner.
Failure to carry out service operations in the correct se-
quence could cause the supplemental restraint system to
unexpectedly deploy during servicing, possibly leading to
a serious accident.
Further, if a mistake is made in servicing the supplemental
restraint system, it is possible the SRS may fail to operate
when required. Before servicing (including removal or
installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure
to read the following items carefully, then follow the cor-
rect procedure described in this manual.
(b) GENERAL NOTICE
(1) Malfunction symptoms of the supplemental re-
straint system are difficult to confirm, so the diag-
nostic trouble codes become the most important
source of information when troubleshooting. When
troubleshooting the supplemental restraint system,
always inspect the diagnostic trouble codes before
disconnecting the battery (See page DI-349).
(2) Work must be started after 90 seconds from the
time the ignition switch is turned to the ºLOCKº posi-
tion and the negative (-) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery.
(The supplemental restraint system is equipped
with a back-up power source so that if work is
started within 90 seconds of disconnecting the neg-
ative (-) terminal cable from the battery, the SRS
may deploy.)
When the negative (-) terminal cable is discon-
nected from the battery, memory of the clock and
audio systems will be cancelled. So before starting
work, make a record of the contents memorized by
the each memory system. Then when work is fin-
ished, reset the clock and audio systems as before.
To avoid erasing the memory of each memory sys-
tem, never use a back-up power supply from anoth-
er battery.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALL INJECTORS AND DELIVERY PIPES
(a) Install new insulator and grommet to each injector.
(b) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline to 2 new O-
rings and install them to each injector.
(c) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a delivery pipe touches an O-ring of the injector.
(d) While turning the injector clockwise and counterclock-
wise, push it to the delivery pipes. Install the 6 injectors.
(e) Position the injector connector outward.
(f) Place the 4 spacers in position on the intake manifold.
(g) Apply a light coat of spindle oil or gasoline on the place
where a intake manifold touches an O-ring of the injector.
(h) Place the delivery pipes and fuel pipe together with the 6
injectors in position on the intake manifold.
(i) Temporarily install the 4 bolts holding the delivery pipes
to the intake manifold.
(j) Temporarily install the bolt holding the No.1 fuel pipe to
the intake manifold.
(k) Check that the injectors rotate smoothly.
HINT:
If injectors do not rotate smoothly, the probable cause is incor-
rect installation of O-rings. Replace the O-rings.
(l) Position the injector connector outward.
