REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INFORMATION
BASIC REPAIR HINT
(a) Prevent damage and maintain vehicle cleanliness by pro-
tective covering on the fender, seat and floor.
(b) During disassembly, keep parts in the appropriate order
to facilitate reassembly.
(c) Installation and removal of battery terminal:
(1) Before performing electrical work, disconnect the
negative (±) terminal cable from the battery.
(2) If it is necessary to disconnect the battery for in-
spection or repair, first disconnect the negative (±)
terminal cable.
(3) When disconnecting the terminal cable, to prevent
damage to battery terminal, loosen the cable nut
and raise the cable straight up without twisting or
prying it.
(4) Clean the battery terminals and cable ends with a
clean shop rag. Do not scrape them with a file or oth-
er abrasive objects.
(5) Install the cable ends to the battery terminals after
loosening the nut and tighten the nut. Do not use a
hammer to tap the cable ends onto the terminals.
(6) Be sure the cover for the positive (+) terminal is
properly in place.
(d) Check hose and wiring connectors to make sure that they
are connected securely and correctly.
(e) Non±reusable parts
(1) Always replace cotter pins, gaskets, O±rings, oil
seals, etc. with new ones.
(2) Non±reusable parts are indicated in the component
illustrations by the ºº symbol.
(f) Precoated parts
Precoated parts are bolts, nuts, etc. that are coated with
a seal lock adhesive at the factory.
(1) If a precoated part is retightened, loosened or
caused to move in any way, it must be recoated with
the specified adhesive.
(2) When reusing precoated parts, clean off the old
adhesive and dry with compressed air. Then apply
the specified seal lock adhesive to the bolt, nut or
threads.

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 SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)
3. 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:
1,373 kPa (14.0 kgf/cm
2, 199 psi) or more
Minimum pressure:
1,030 kPa (10.5 kgf/cm
2, 149 psi)
Difference between each cylinder:
98 kPa (1.0 kgf/cm
2, 14 psi) or less
(e) If the cylinder compression in one or more cylinders is low,
pour 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, chances are
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.
4. REINSTALL SPARK PLUGS (See page IG±1)
