tion of No. 1 cylinder compression TDC) to measure intake and
exhaust valve clearances of No. 6 cylinder and exhaust valve
clearance of No. 2 cylinder.
10. If out of specifications, adjust as necessary. Refer to EM-54, "
ADJUSTMENT" .
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:

Perform adjustment depending on selected head thickness of valve lifter.

The specified valve lifter thickness is the dimension at normal temperatures. Ignore dimensional differ-
ences caused by temperature. Use the specifications for hot engine condition to adjust.
1. Remove camshaft. Refer to EM-43, "
Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove the valve lifters at the locations that are out of specification.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Diameter

Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2
exceeds the limit, replace the bolts with new one.

If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than d2, use
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, "
Cylinder Head Bolts
Diameter" .
a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of bolts.
b. Measure tightening angle using Tool.
CAUTION:
Measure tightening angle using Tool. Do not measure visu-
ally.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.18 mm (0.0071 in)

14. Install the connecting rod cap.

Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connecting
rod with those on the cylinder cap to install.
15. Tighten the connecting rod bolts using Tool.

Apply engine oil to the threads and seats of the connecting
rod bolts.

After tightening the bolts, make sure that the crankshaft
rotates smoothly.

Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-89, "CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE"
16. Install knock sensor.
CAUTION:
If the knock sensor is dropped, replace it with a new one.

Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of the knock sen-
sor.

Install it with its connector facing the center of cylinder block
side.

Do not tighten the knock sensor bolts while holding the con-
nector.

Make sure that the knock sensor does not interfere with other
parts.

Position sub-harness as shown before installing intake mani-
fold.
17. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
18. Remove engine assembly from engine stand.

d. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
e. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.

As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
3. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-46, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
4. Remove the second row LH rear seat and the third row rear seat. Refer to SE-103, "
REAR SEAT" .
5. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3, "
SEAT
BELTS" .
6. Remove the LH center pillar trim, the LH rear trim panel, and the LH rear side door kick plate and weather
stripping. Refer to EI-34, "
BODY SIDE TRIM" .
7. Remove the second row rear center console and base, if equipped. Refer to EI-36, "
FLOOR TRIM" .
8. Reposition the floor carpet out of the way to access the inspection hole cover, located under the center LH
rear seat.
9. Remove the inspection hole cover by turning the retainers 90°
degrees clockwise.

Remove the O-ring.
10. Disconnect the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump
assembly electrical connector, the EVAP hose, and the fuel feed
hose.

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to GW-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces = higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
