CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-392, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during mea-
surement.
4. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-133, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR" .
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-152, "
IGNITION COIL" and EM-153,

6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-ll).
7. Install compression tester with adapter onto spark plug hole.

Use compression gauge whose picking up end inserted to
spark plug hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter.
Otherwise, it may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge
pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cyl-
inder.

CAUTION:
Always use a fully changed battery to obtain specified engine speed.

If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.

If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.

If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check the
piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-
functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.

If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gasket is leaking. In such a case, replace cylin-
der head gasket.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
10. Start engine, and make sure that engine runs smoothly.
11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-394, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" .

Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-248, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off oil and remove scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from surface of cylinder head with
scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for engine oil or engine coolant.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure the distortion in six directions.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new cylinder head gaskets.
2. Turn crankshaft until No. 1 piston is set at TDC.

Crankshaft key should line up with the right bank cylinder cen-
ter line as shown in the figure.
3. Install cylinder head follow the steps below to tighten cylinder
head bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of cylinder
head bolts.
b. Tighten all cylinder head bolts.
c. Completely loosen all cylinder head bolts.
CAUTION:
In step “c”, loosen bolts in the reverse order of that indi-
cated in the figure.
d. Tighten all cylinder head bolts.Limit : 0.1 mm (0.004 in)

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid. power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY


Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-37, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift" .
