* 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.

OIL PUMP
Tools Required
KM–498–B Pressure Gauge
KM–135 Adapter
Engine Oil Pressure Inspection Procedure
1. Remove the right front wheel, wheel well splash
shield and engine undercover.
2. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.
3. Install the adapter KM–135 in place of the oil pres-
sure switch.
4. Connect the pressure gauge KM–498–B to the
adapter.
5. Start the engine and check the oil pressure at idle
speed and engine temperature of 80°C (176°F).
The minimum oil pressure should be 30 kPa (4.35
psi).
6. Stop the engine and remove the pressure gauge
KM–498–B and the adapter KM–135.
7. Install the oil pressure switch.
Tighten
Tighten the oil pressure switch to 40 NSm (30 lb–ft).
8. Connect the oil pressure switch connector.
9. Install the right front wheel well splash shield, en-
gine undercover and wheel.
10. Check the oil level. Pour oil until it reaches the full
mark.
Removal Procedure
1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the power steering pump, if equipped. Re-
fer to Section 6A, Power Steering System.
3. Remove the timing belt. Refer to”Timing Belt” in this
section.
4. Remove the rear timing belt cover. Refer to ”Rear
Timing Belt Cover” in this section.
5. Disconnect the oil pressure switch connector.

35. Remove the valves. Maintain the original position of
the valves for installation.
36. Remove the valve stem seals.
Cylinder Head Inspection
1. Clean the sealing surfaces.
2. Inspect the cylinder head gasket and mating sur-
faces for leaks, corrosion, and blowby.
3. Inspect the cylinder head for cracks.
4. Inspect the length and the width of the cylinder
head using a feeler gauge and a straight edge.
5. Check the sealing surfaces for deformation and
warpage. The cylinder head sealing surfaces must
be flat within 0.050 mm (0.002 inch) maximum.
6. Measure the height of the cylinder head from seal-
ing surface to sealing surface. The cylinder head
height should be 134.08 to 134.23 mm. If the cylin-
der head height is less than 134.08 mm, replace
the cylinder head.
7. Inspect all threaded holes for damage.
8. Inspect valve seats for excessive wear and burned
spots.
Valve Inspection
1. Inspect the valve stem tip for wear.
2. Inspect the valve key grooves and the oil seal
grooves for chips and wear.
3. Inspect the valves for burns or cracks.
4. Inspect the valve stem for burrs and scratches.
5. Inspect the valve stem. The valve stem must be
straight.
6. Inspect the valve face for grooving. If the groove is
so deep that refacing the valve would result in a
sharp edge, replace the valve.

7. Inspect the valve spring. If the valve spring ends
are not parallel, replace the valve spring.
8. Measure the valve spring height. Refer to ”Engine
Specifications” in this section. If the valve spring
height does not match the specifications, replace
the valve spring.
9. Inspect the valve spring seating surface of the
valve rotators for wear or gouges. Replace as re-
quired.
Cleaning Procedure
1. Clean the cylinder head.
2. Clean the valve guides.
3. Clean all of the threaded holes.
4. Clean the valves of carbon, oil, and varnish.
Cylinder Head Overhaul
Valve Grind–in
1. Lubricate the valve stem using a fine–grained
paste.
2. Lift the valve rhythmically from the seat with a com-
mercially available valve grinding tool in order to
distribute the paste.
3. Check the contact pattern on the valve head and in
the cylinder head.
4. Clean the valves, the valve guides, and the cylinder
head.
