DIAGNOSIS
COMPRESSION TEST
Important : Disconnect the Crankshaft Position (CKP)
Sensor connector to disable the fuel and the ignition sys-
tems.
Test the compression pressure for each cylinder. Low
compression pressure may be the fault of the valves or the
pistons. The following conditions should be considered
when you check the cylinder compression:
S The engine should be at normal operating tempera-
ture.
S The throttle must be wide open.
S All the spark plugs should be removed.
S The battery must be at or near full charge.
1. Place approximately three squirts of oil from a
plunger– type oiler into each spark plug port.
2. Insert the engine compression gauge into each
spark plug port.
3. Crank test each cylinder with four to five compres-
sion strokes using the starter motor.4. The lowest reading should not be less than 70% of
the highest reading. The compression gauge read-
ing should not be less than 689 kPa (100 psi) for
any of the cylinders.
5. Examine the gauge readings obtained after the four
”puffs” per cylinder are obtained from cranking the
starter motor. The readings are explained in the
following descriptions:
S Normal Condition – Compression builds up quickly
and evenly to the specified compression on each
cylinder.
S Piston Rings Faulty – Compression is low on the
first stroke and tends to build up on following
strokes, but the compression pressure does not
reach normal. The compression pressure improves
considerably with the addition of oil into the cylin-
der.
S Valves Faulty – Low compression pressure on the
first stroke. The compression pressure does not
tend to build up on the following strokes. The com-
pression pressure does not improve much with the
addition of oil into the cylinder.

Light Knock Hot
StepActionValue(s)YesNo
1Is there a light knock when the engine is hot?–Go to Step 2System OK
2Is detonation or spark knock evident?–Go to Step 3Go to Step 4
3Check the engine timing and the fuel quality.
Was the problem found?–Go to Step 1–
4Inspect the torque converter bolts.

(33 lb–ft)Go to Step 5Go to Step 6
5Tighten the torque converter bolts.
Is the repair complete?–Go to Step 1–
6Inspect the manifold.
Is there an exhaust leak at the manifold?–Go to Step 7Go to Step 8
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.
Is there evidence of hydraulic lifter bleed–down?–Go to Step 5Go to Step 6
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.
