Exhaust:
:31-38N ×m (3.2 - 3.9 kg-m, 22 - 28 ft-lb)
Retightening should be performed while engine is cold
[approximately 20ÉC (68ÉF)].
Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance
Adjustment should be made while engine is warm but not
running.
1. Set No. 1 cylinder in top dead center on its compression stroke, and adjust valve clearance q
1,q2,q3and q6.
2. Set No. 4 cylinder in top dead center on its compression stroke, and adjust valve clearance q

Drive Belt Inspection
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if
necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check drive belt deflection by pushing on the belt midway between pulleys. (H)
3. Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit.

Checking Drive Belt
IBecause an auto tensioner adjustment mechanism is
provided, it is not necessary to check or adjust the tension
of accessory belt.
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. Replace if necessary.
The belts should not touch the bottom of the pulley groove.
2. Check the damper unit of the auto tensioner for oil leaks.

Removal
WATER PUMP, ALTERNATOR AND AIR CONDITIONER
BELT
1. Remove radiator shroud.
2. Contract and hold the auto tensioner using the following proce-dure.
a. Securely hold the 19 mm (0.75 in) hexagonal portion A of auto tensioner with a closed wrench.
I Preferably use a tool with a handhold of 500 mm (19.69 in) or
more in length.
I No bolts or nuts are required to be loosened during the opera-
tion.
b. Turn the hexagonal portion A in the direction shown by the arrow to contract the damper unit of the auto tensioner.
CAUTION:
I Because the tensioner has a high tension, it shall be
securely held and turned with a closed wrench.
I Because the hexagonal portion A of the tensioner is made
of aluminum and may be damaged by sudden input, turn
it slowly according to the contraction of the damper unit.
3. Remove the belt from the alternator pulley first, and then remove it from the other pulleys.
I If the tensioner is not held firmly, your finger may get caught
between the belt and the pulleys. Confirm the holding of the
tensioner, and then hold the belt side in the place away from
the pulleys to attach or remove the belt, paying attention to
prevent your finger from being caught.
CAUTION:
I When handling the belt, pay attention to prevent the oil or
coolant from adhering to the belt.
I Do not distort or bend the belt intensively.
Installation
IInstall the belt in the reverse order of removal.
I After installation of the belt, confirm that the belt engages the
pulleys securely.
I Depending on the engagement between the belt and the idler
pulley, noise (belt noise) may be heard when the engine is
started just after installation. This noise will stop with time.
Changing Engine Oil
WARNING:
IBe careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil is hot.
I Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may
cause skin cancer; try to avoid direct skin contact with
used oil. If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with
soap or hand cleaner as soon as possible.
1. Warm up engine, and check for oil leakage from engine com- ponents.
2. Remove drain plug and oil filler cap.
