CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Using CONSULT-II, make sure no error codes are indicated for self-diagnosis items. Refer to EC-905,
"Basic Inspection" (WITH EURO-ODB) or EC-1231, "Basic Inspection" (WITHOUT EURO-ODB).

Do not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this operation; it will be used to check engine rpm and
for error detection at the end of this operation.
3. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
4. Remove charge air cooler. Refer to EM-135, "
Removal and Installation"
5. To prevent fuel from being injected during inspection, remove
fuel pump fuse [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] from fuse box on the left
side of engine room.

Among marks on fuse box, [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] is for fuel
pump fuse.
6. Remove glow plugs from all the cylinders. Refer to EM-152,
"Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:

Before removal, clean the surrounding area to prevent
entry of any foreign materials into engine.

Carefully remove glow plugs to prevent any damage or
breakage.

Handle with care to avoid applying any shock to glow plugs.
7. Install compression gauge adapter (special service tool) to
installation holes of glow plugs and connect compression gauge
for diesel engine.
8. Connect battery negative terminal.
9. 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 cylinder.

Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified engine
speed.
Compression pressure
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi)/rpm

When engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the specific gravity of battery liquid. Measure
again under corrected conditions.

If engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and combustion chamber components (valves,
valve seats, cylinder head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cylinder block upper and lower
surfaces) and measure again.

If compression pressure is low in some cylinders, apply engine oil from glow plug installation hole. Then
check pressure again.
–If compression pressure becomes normal after applying engine oil, piston ring may be worn or dam-
aged. Check piston ring for malfunction. If any, replace piston ring.
–If compression pressure is still low after applying engine oil, valve may be malfunctioning. Check valve
for malfunction. If contact malfunction is found, replace valve or valve seat.

If compression pressure in adjacent two cylinders is low after applying engine oil, pressure may be
leaking from gasket. In this case, replace cylinder head gasket.

*: Measured with head bolts tightened
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser
(special service tool: WS39930000) as shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into oil passage.
B: Minimize the overlapping area of the bead, with start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure.
Apply so that the portion marked * comes at an external loca-
tion but cannot be viewed externally after engine is assembled.
3. Install cylinder head assembly.

Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure
according to the following procedure:
a. Apply engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Tighten 180 degrees to 185 degrees [target: 180 degrees]
(angle tightening).
d. Loosen completely in reverse order of that shown in the figure.
e. Tighten all bolts.
f. Tighten 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees] (angle
tightening).
g. Tighten another 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees]
(angular tightening).
CAUTION:

When the angle wrench (special service tool) is not used, paint an alignment mark on the head
of cylinder head bolt and cylinder head surface before tightening. Check the angle with a pro-
tractor.

4. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) in oil bath.
5. Using the valve guide drift (commercial service tool), press fit
valve guides from camshaft side, referring to the dimension
shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
Cylinder head contains heat, when working, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned.
6. Using the valve guide reamer (commercial service tool), perform
reaming to the press-fitted valve guides.
Valve Seat Contact

Before starting this check, confirm that the dimension of valve
guide and valves are as specified.

Apply red lead primer on contacting surfaces of valves seat and
of valve face to examine the conditions of contacting surfaces.

Make sure that the paint on contacting surfaces is continuous
along the entire circumference.

If there are abnormal indications, grind the valve and check the
contact again. If malfunction indications still persist, replace
valve seat.
Valve Seat Replacement
When removing valve seat, replace it with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring should not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-240, "
Va l v e S e a t" .

WARNING:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

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

If items or work required are not covered by the engine main body 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-36, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.

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

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to figure of components. Refer to EM-208, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .

Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, lubricants, working
engine oil, fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.
