40. Install the air cleaner housinq.
6x1.0mm12 N m (1.2 kgf.m,8.7 lbt.ft)
Install the air cleaner housing cover (A) and
connect the intake air temperature (lAT) sensor
connector (B),
42. Installthe breather hose (C) and vacuum hose 1D).

43. Installthe intake manifold cover.
6x1.0mm12Nm11.2kgf.m.8.7 tbf.ft)
Installthe battery. Clean the battery posts and
cable terminals with sandpaper, then assemble
them and apply grease to prevent corrosion.
Check that the transmission shifts into gear
smoothly.
Inspect for fuel leaks. Turn the ignition switch ON(ll) {do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump
runs for about 2 seconds and pressurizes the fuel
line. Repeat this operation two or three times, then
check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
Refillthe engine with engine oil (see page 8-5).
Refill the transmission with fluid (see page 13-3).
Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed
air from the cooling system with the heater valve
open (see page 10-6).
Perform the engine control module (ECM) idle learnprocedure (see page 11-139).
Inspect the idle speed (see page 1 1-138).
Inspect the ignition timing (see page 4-17).
Check the wheel alignment {see page 18-4).
Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter
the customer's radio station presets.
Set the clock.

Gylinder Head Removal
NOTE:. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted
surfaces.
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors
carefully whlle holding the connector portion.
To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100'F (38"C)
betore loosening the cylinder head bolts.
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.

Cylinder Head Inspection for
Warpage
Remove the cylinder head {see page 6-23).
Inspect the camshaft (see page 6-29).
Check the cylinder head for warpage. Measure
along the edges, and three ways across the center.
. lf warpage is less than 0.05 mm (0.002 in.)
cylinder head resurfacing is not required.. lf warpage is between 0.05 mm (0.002 in.) and
0.2 mm (0.008 in.), resurface the cylinder head.. Maximum resurface limit is 0.2 mm (0.008 in,)
based on a height of 104 mm (4.09 in.).
Cylinder Head Height;
Standard {New}: 103.95 104.05 mm

Valve Guide Replacement (cont'dl
Apply a thin coat of clean engine oil to the outside
of the new valve guide. Install the guide from the
camshaft side of the head; use the special tool to
drive the guide in to the specified installed height
(A) o{the guide (B). lf you have all 16 guidesto do,
you may have to reheat the head.
Valve Guide Installed Height:
Intake: 15.2 16.2 mm (0.598-0.638 in.)
Exhaust: 15.5 16.5 mm (0.610-0.650 in.)

10.Coat both reamer and valve guide with cutting oil.
Rotate the reamer clockwise the full length of the
valve guide bore.

Continue to rotate the reamer clockwise while
removing it from the bore.
Thoroughly wash the guide in detergent and water
to remove any cutting residue.
Check the clearances with a valve (see page 6 32).
Verify that a valve slides in the intake and exhaust
valve guides without exening pressure.
