Removal and Installation of Valve Oil SealEBS00ILP
REMOVAL
1. Remove camshaft relating to valve oil seal to be removed. Refer to EM-43, "REMOVAL" .
2. Remove valve lifters. Refer to EM-43, "
REMOVAL" .
Correctly identify location where each part is removed. Keep parts organized to avoid mixing them up.
3. Turn crankshaft until the cylinder requiring new oil seals is at TDC. This will prevent the valve from drop-
ping into the cylinder.
4. Remove valve collet using Tool.
CAUTION:
When working, take care not to damage valve lifter holes.
5. Remove valve spring retainer and valve spring.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
6. Remove valve oil seal using Tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
Install valve oil seal using Tool.
Apply new engine oil on new valve oil seal joint and seal lip.
Install valve oil seal to specified height "H".Tool number : KV10116200 (J-26336-B)

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then stop engine.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-46, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
a. Remove fuel pump fuse, and start engine.
Refer to PG-78, "
FUSE AND RELAY BOX" or fuel pump fuse location.
Let fuel pump fuse removed until the end of step 7.
b. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
3. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder.
Refer to EM-27, "
REMOVAL" .
4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install compression tester with Tool into spark plug hole.
6. 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.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged 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 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, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the 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, the gaskets may be leaking, or valve in adjacent cylinders may
be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. After inspection is complete, install removed parts. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start engine, and confirm that engine runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-71, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" . Tool number : EG15050500 (J-45402)

it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Install cylinder head gasket.
2. Install cylinder head. Follow the steps below and tighten the
bolts in the numerical order shown.
CAUTION:
If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters
before installation. Refer to EM-61, "

b. Measure tightening angle using Tool.
CAUTION:
Measure tightening angle using Tool. Do not measure visu-
ally.
