2. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure
with the following procedure to install balancer unit.
CAUTION:
If mounting bolts are re-used, check their outer diameter
before installation. Refer to EM-57, "
Balancer Unit Mounting
Bolt Outer Diameter" .
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Turn all bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Check tightening angle with angle wrench (SST) or a pro-
tractor. Do not make judgment by visual check alone.

f. Connect ground cables, and install harness clip.
10. Insert crankshaft pulley by aligning with crankshaft key.

When inserting crankshaft pulley with plastic hammer, tap on its center portion (not circumference).
CAUTION:
Install protecting front oil seal lip section from any damage.
11. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt with the following procedure.

Secure crankshaft pulley with pulley holder [SST: KV10109300], and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of six
easy to recognize angle marks on bolt flange.
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).

Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
12. Install all removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-49, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during mea-
surement.
4. Remove engine cover. Refer to EM-19, "
INTAKE MANIFOLD" .
5. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-31, "
IGNITION COIL" and EM-32,
"SPARK PLUG(PLATINUM-TIPPED TYPE)" .
6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
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.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
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 the 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
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 confirm that engine runs smoothly.
11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-52, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" .
Removal and InstallationBBS0059C
REMOVAL
1. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-49, "FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
2. Drain engine coolant and engine oil. Refer to CO-10, "
Changing Engine Coolant" and LU-9, "Changing
Engine Oil" .
CAUTION:

Perform this step when engine is cold.

Do not spill engine coolant and engine oil on drive belt.
3. Remove the following components and related parts.

Exhaust manifold and three way catalyst assembly; Refer to EM-23, "EXHAUST MANIFOLD AND
THREE WAY CATALYST" .

Intake manifold and fuel tube assembly; Refer to EM-19, "INTAKE MANIFOLD" .

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter

Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with a new one.

If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than
“d2”, use it as “d2” point.
NOTE:
When replacing any cylinder head bolts, it is possible to use them
with mixing flange bolt and bolt with washer.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-102, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. 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.Bolt with washer

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. : 50.0 N·m (5.1 kg-m, 37 ft-lb)

Use alternator bracket mounting bolt holes for the front side.
2. Lift with hoist and secure engine in position.
3. Use manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or equiva-
lently rigid tool such as transmission jack. Securely support bot-
tom of front suspension member, and simultaneously adjust
hoist tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.
4. Separate RH engine mounting insulator and RH engine mounting bracket.
5. Pull LH engine mounting through-bolt out.
6. Remove front suspension member mounting nuts and bolts. Refer to FSU-5, "
FRONT SUSPENSION
ASSEMBLY" .

fully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with vehicle side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting jack or equivalent tool at the rear.
8. Remove power steering oil pump with piping connected from engine. Refer to PS-29, "
POWER STEER-
ING OIL PUMP" .

STARTING SYSTEM" .
11. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from engine, transaxle and
front suspension member.
12. Separate engine and transaxle. Refer to AT- 2 4 1 , "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" .
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mounting
insulator.

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
