1. Relieve the fuel pressure. Refer to the Fuel
Pressure Relief.
2. Disconnect the fuel return line from the fuel rail.
3. Attach a length of flexible hose to the fuel rail
return outlet passage.
4. Place the open end of the flexible hose into an
approved gasoline container.
5. Run the fuel pump with the Tech 2.
6. Observe the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel
pressure gauge with the fuel pump running.
Is the fuel pressure within the specified limits? 290-376 kPa
(42-55 psi) Go to Step 19 Go to Step 20
19 Locate and correct the restriction in the fuel return
line.
Is the action complete? — Verify repair —
20 Visually and physically inspect the fuel rail outlet
passages for a restriction.
Was a restriction found? — Verify repair Go to Step 11
21
Is the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure
gauge above the specified value? 0 kPa (0 psi) Go to Step 22 Go to Step 23
22
1. Command the fuel pump “ON" with the Tech 2.
2. Using suitable pliers which will not damage the fuel
hose, gradually apply pressure with the pliers to
pinch the flexible fuel return hose closed.
CAUTION: Do not let the fuel pressure exceed the
second specified value.
Does the fuel pressure indicated by the fuel pressure
gauge rise above the first specified value? 376 kPa (55
psi). 414 kPa
(60 psi). Go to Step 11 Go to Step 7
23
1. Command the fuel pump “ON" with the Tech 2.
2. Remove the fuel filler cap and listen for the sound
of the fuel pump running.

ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE) 6A-39







Camshaft Housing, Check for Plane Surface
Clean
Sealing surfaces.

Inspection
Check length and width of sealing surface for deformation and
diagnosis for warpage and use straight edge feeler gauge.

Measure
Height of camshaft housing (sealing surface to sealing
surface).
Dimension I: (74.0 mm)



Cylinder Head, Removal and Installation
Important
Only remove cylinder head with engine cold (room
temperature).




Removal
1. Remove the alternator, power steering and V-belts.



Removal
2. Loosen the fastening bolts from alternator.
3. Loosen the lower alternator fastening bolt by swinging
the alternator to the rear.



Removal
4. Remove the front toothed belt cover.
5. Remove the toothed belt from camshaft pulley.
See operation "Timing Check and Adjust".

5. Apply a bead of sealant (TB-1207C or equivalent) in the
grooves of both bearing shells.

Important!
After installation of bearing cover, press in sealing compound
again from above, until compound emerges at the joints.


Torque - Angle Method
Bearing cover to cylinder block - 50 N
m (5.1 kgf
m) +40 to
50
Con-rod bearing cover to con-rod - 35 N

m (3.5 kgf

m) +45

.
Use new bolts.

6. Install oil pump, oil pan, bearing bridge rear crankshaft
sealing, flywheel/drive plate, and aggregates according to
the corresponding operations.









Inspection
Bearing play - bearing cover removed

Measure
With "Plastigage" (ductile plastic threads)
Cut threads to length of bearing width and lay axiaity between
crankshaft journal and bearing shell (arrowed).
Install bearing cover with correct torque.

Important!
Grease crankshaft journal and lubricate bearing shell slightly
so that the thread does not tear when the bearing cover is
moved.


Crankshaft
Inspection
End play when bearing shells are installed.
Front end contact surfaces of flywheel/flexible plate.
Permissible end play - see "Technical Data "

ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE) 6A-57


Inspection
Out-of-round (run-out)-middle bearing shell removed when
mounting on front and rear bearing.
Permissible out-of-round - see "Technical Data"



Bearing Free Play Measurement
Two methods for measuring bearing free play are described -
1. Plastigage method and 2. micrometer and gauge method.
The two procedures are suitable for measuring both con-rod
and main bearing free play.
For both methods ensure con-rod and main bearing caps are
identified (1) prior to removal as they are machine matched.











1.Plastigage Method
Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.
2. Lightly coat journals and bearings with engine oil to
prevent Plastigage from tearing when cap is removed.

Installation
1. Lay a length of Plastigage across width of crank pin and
fit bearing cap and shell using old bolts at this stage.

Important!
Do not allow crankshaft to rotate.

Torque - Angle Method
Main bearing cap bolt - 60 N

m (6.1 kgf

m) +40
+ to 50
.
Con-rod bearing cap bolts - 35 N

m (3.6 kgf

m) +45
.




Removal
1. Remove bearing cap and shell.

Measure
Width of Plastigage -use scale supplied with Plastigage.

If con-rod bearing clearance exceeds 0.031mm/0.001in or
main journal bearing clearance exceeds 0.04mm/0.02in. -
check crankshaft journal diameters - see corresponding
operation.
Replace bearing if crankshaft is within specification - see
"Technical Data"
