Cylinder Head
Engine Compression Inspection
1. Warm up the engine to normal operating
temperature (cooling fan comes on).
2. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
3. Remove the intake manifold cover (see step 1 onpage 6-22).
4, Disconnect all four injector connectors.
5. Start the engine, and let it run until it stalls.
6. Remove the iour ignition coils (see page 4-18).
7. Remove the four spark plugs.
8. Attach the compression gauge to the spark plug
note.

Open the throttle fully, then crank the engine with
the starter motor and measure the compression.
Compression Pressure
Above 930 kpa (9.5 kgf/cm', 135 psi)
Measure the compression on the remaining
cylinders,
Maximum vadation
Within 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm', 28 psi)
lf the compression is not within specifications,
check these items, then remeasure the
compressron.
. Damaged orworn valves and seats. Damaged cylinder head gasket. Damaged or worn piston rings. Damaged orworn piston and cylinder bore

Rocker Arm Assembly Installation
:,ean and dry the No. 5 rocker shaft holder mating
surfaces.
eeassemble the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-
21 t.
Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08718-0009, evenly to the
:ylinder head mating surface ofthe No. 5 rocker
shaft holder.
\OTE: Do not lnstall the parts if 5 minutes or more
rave elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,'eapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.
Insert the bolts (A) into the rocker shaft holder, then
install the rocker arm assembly (B) on the cylinder
head.
Apply liquid gasketalong the broken line.

Remove the bolts from the rocker shaft holder.
Make sure the DUnch marks on the variable valve
timing control (VTC) actuator and exhaust camshaft
sprocket are facing up. then set the camshafts (A) in
the holder.
Set the camshaft holders (B) and cam chain guide B
(C) in place.
Tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
8 mm bolts: 22 N.m (2.2 kgf.m, 16 lbl.ft)
6 mm bolts: 12 N.m {1.2 kgf.m,8.7 lbf.fil
6 mm bolts: @),@.@
lnstall the cam chain (see page 6-15). and adjust the

14. Installthe water bvpass hose.
15. Installthe air cleaner housing (see step 37 on page
5-15).
16. Installthe intake manifold (see page 9-5).
17. Installthe exhaust manifold (see page 9-7).
'18. Installthe cam chain (see page 6-15).
19. Adjust the valve clearance (seepage6-9).
20. Installthe drive belt (see page 4-26).
21. Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with
sandpaper, then assemble them and apply grease
to prevent corrosion.
22. After installation, checkthatall tubes, hosesand
connectors are installed correctly.
23. Inspectforfuel 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 thls operation two or three times, then
check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
24. Refillthe radiator with engine coolant, and bleed
air from the cooling system with the heater valve
open (see page 10-6).
25. Inspect the idle speed (see page 11-'138).
26. Inspect the ignition timing (see page 4-17).
Gylinder Head Cover lnstallation
1. Thoroughly clean the head cover gasket and the
groove.
2. Installthe head cover gasket (A) in the groove of
the cylinder head cover (B).
Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry.
Apply liquid gasket. P/N 08718-0009, on the chain
case and the No.5 rocker shaft holder mating areas.
NOTE: Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing old residue.

PCV Valve Inspection and Test
2.
1. Check the PCV valve (A), hoses {B), and
connections for leaks or restrictions.
At idle, make sure there is a clicking sound from the
PCV valve when the hose between the PCV valve
and intake manifold is lightly pinched {A)with your
fingers or pliers.
lf there is no clicking sound, check the PCV valve
grommet for cracks or damage. lf the grommet is
OK. reDlace the PCV valve and recheck.
