7Tighten the bolts or replace the gasket.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
8Check the rod bearing clearance.
Is the clearance within the specified value?0.019 ~
0.070 mm
(0.0007 ~
0.0028 in.)Go to Step 9System OK
9Replace the rod bearings, as necessary.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
Knocks During Initial Start–Up But Last Only a Few Seconds
StepActionValue(s)YesNo
1Does the engine knock during initial start–up but last
only a few seconds?–Go to Step 2System OK
2Check the engine oil.
Is the proper viscosity oil used in the crankcase?–Go to Step 4Go to Step 3
3Install oil of the proper viscosity for the expected
seasonal temperatures.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
4Inspect the hydraulic lifters.

5Clean, test and replace the lifters, as necessary.
Is the repair complete?*–Go to Step 1–
6Inspect the crankshaft end clearance.
Is the clearance more than specified value?0.1 mm
(0.0039 in.)Go to Step 7Go to Step 8
7Replace the crankshaft thrust bearing.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
8Inspect the front main bearing clearance.
Is the clearance more than the specified value?0.026~0.046
mm (0.0010~
0.0018 in.)Go to Step 9System OK
9Replace the worn parts of the front main bearing.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
* When the engine is stopped, some valves will be open. Spring pressure against the lifters will tend to bleed lifter down.
Attempts to repair this should be made only if the problem is consistent.
An engine that is only operated for short periods between start–ups may have lifter noise that lasts for a few minutes. This
is a normal condition.

TORQUE STEER
A degree of torque steer to the right may be experienced
during the use of heavy throttle on some front–wheel drive
cars with drive axles of unequal length. This torque steer
to the right results from the right drive axle being longer
than the left drive axle, which creates a difference in the
drive axle angle. Cars with intermediate shaft assemblies
have axles of almost equal length.
A difference in the drive axle lengths results in more torque
toe–in in the left front wheel. You will notice the torque toe–
in when the vehicle accelerates from a standing start or at
lower speeds.
Inspection Procedure
1. Place a small piece of tape at the top center of the
steering wheel.2. Note the inches of steering wheel deflection re-
quired to keep the vehicle straight during heavy ac-
celeration.
3. Compare this finding with similar cars.
Factors that may cause torque steer to be more apparent
on a particular vehicle include:
S Variations in the tire and wheel assemblies. This
has the most significant effect on torque steer. A
slightly smaller diameter on the right front tire will
increase a right torque lead.
S Large differences in the right and the left front tire
pressure.
S Looseness in the control arm bushings, the tie rod
assemblies, or the steering gear mounting. This
looseness permits a front wheel to pull forward and
toe–in under a torque greater than the wheel on the
opposite side. A loose suspension component may
result in an opposite lead upon deceleration.
