Planetary Gear Inspection
16. Check the planetary gears (A) and ring gear {B).Replace them if they are worn or damaged.
Overrunning Cluich Inspection
17. Slide the overrunning clutch along the shaft.
Replace it if it does not slide smoothly.
18. Rotate the overrunning clutch (A) both ways.
Does it lock in one direction and rotate smoothly inreverse? lf it does not lock in either direction or it
locks in both directions, replace it.
lf the starter drive gear (B) is worn or damaged,
replace the overrunning clutch assembly; the gear
is not available separately.

Starter Reassembly
20, Pry back each brush spring with a screwdriver, thenposition the brush about halfway out of its holder,
and release the spring to hold it there.
NOTE: To seatthe new brushes. slip a strip of #5OO
or # 600 sandpaper. with the grit side out, be&veen
the commutator and each brush, and smoothly
rotate the armature. The contact surface of the
brushes will be sanded to the same contour as the
commutator.
21lnstallthe armature in the housing, and installthe
brush holder. Next, pry back each brush spring
again, and push the brush down until it seats
against the commutator, then release the spring
against the end of the brush.
s
Install the starter end cover to retain the brush
holder.

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.

Gamshaft Inspection
NOTE: Do not rotate the camshaft during inspection.
1. Remove the rocker arm assembly (see page 6-26).
and disassemble it (see page 6-27).
2. Put the rocker shaft holders, camshaft, and
camshaft holders on the cylinder head, then tighten
the bolts to the specified torque.
Specified torque:
I mm bolis:
22 N.m {2.2 kgt m, 16lbf.ft}
6 mm bolts:

3. Seat the camshaft by pushing it away from the
camshaft pulley end ofthe cylinder head.
4. Zero the dial indicator against the end of the
camshaft, then push the camshaft back and forth
and read the end play. lf the end play is beyond the
service limit, replace the camshaft head and
recheck. lf it is still beyond the service limit, replace
the cylinder.

Valve Guide Replacement
Special Tools Required. Valve guide driver, 5.5 mm 07742-0010100. Valve guide reamer, 5.5 mm 07HAH-PJ7o108
1.Inspect valve stem-to-guide clearance (see page 6-
32t.
As illustrated below, use a commercially available
air-impact valve guide driver (A) modified to fit the
diameter of the valve guides. In most cases, the
same procedure can be done using the special tool
and a conventional hammer.
10.8 mm{0.,|2 in.)
3. Select the proper replacement guides, and chill
lhem in the freezer section of a refriqerator for
about an hour.
4. Use a hot plate or oven to evenly heat the cylinder
head to 300'F (150"C). Monitor the temperature
with a cooking thermometer. Do not getthe head
hotterthan 300'F (150"C); excessive heat may
loosen the valve seats.

7.
Working from the camshaft side. use the driver and
an aar hammerto drive the guide about 2 mm (0.1
in.)towards the combustion chamber. This will
knock off some of the carbon and make removal
easier. Hold the air hammer directly in line with the
valve guide to prevent damaging the driver.
Turn lhe head over, and drive the guide out toward
the camshaft side of the head.
lf a valve guide won't move, drill it out with a I mm
(5/16 inch) bit. then try again. Drill guides only in
extreme cases;you could damage the cylinder
head if the guide breaks.
Remove the new guide(s) from the freezer, one at a
time, as vou need them.
