The following tables show the normal maintenance schedule. Depending upon weather and atmospheric
conditions, varying road surfaces, individual driving habits and vehicle usage, additional or more frequent
maintenance may be required.
Periodic maintenance beyond the last period shown on the tables requires similar maintenance.

Retightening Manifold Bolts and Nuts
MANIFOLD BOLTS AND NUTS
Intake:
:17-23N×m (1.7 - 2.3 kg-m, 12 - 17 ft-lb)
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
4,q5,q7and q8.
Valve clearance: Intake q
1,q3,q5and q7
0.25 mm (0.0098 in)
Exhaust q
2,q4,q6and q8
0.25 mm (0.0098 in)
Adjusting screw lock nuts:
:15-20N ×m (1.5 - 2.0 kg-m, 11 - 14 ft-lb)
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 Idle Speed
Preparation
1. Make sure that injection timing is correct.
2. Make sure that injection nozzle are in good condition.
3. Make sure that the following parts are in good condition.
IAir cleaner clogging
I Glow system
I Engine oil and coolant levels
I Valve clearance
I Air intake system (Oil filler cap, oil level gauge, etc.)
4. Set shift lever in ªNeutralº position. Engage parking brake and lock both front and rear wheels with wheel chocks.
5. Turn off air conditioner, lights and accessories.
I Warm up engine until water temperature indicator points to middle of gauge.
I Lights, heater fan and all accessories are off.
I Attach tachometer's pick-up to No. 1 fuel injection tube.
In order to take accurate reading of engine rpm, remove clamps that secure No. 1 fuel injection tube.
Start engine.
SMA406B
SMA021A
Run engine at about 2,000 rpm for
about 2 minutes under no-load.
Run engine for one minute at idle
speed.F
Check idle speed.

Race engine two or three times and allow engine to return to idle speed. If idle speed is not within
the specified range, check acceleration linkage for binding and correct it if necessary.

Checking Tightening Torque
Checking should be performed while engine is cold.
MANIFOLD BOLTS AND NUTS
Intake and exhaust manifolds:Intake
:25-28N ×m (2.5 - 2.9 kg-m, 18 - 20 ft-lb)
Exhaust
:40-44N ×m (4.0 - 4.5 kg-m, 29 - 32 ft-lb)
Adjusting Intake and Exhaust Valve Clearance
Refer to EM section.
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.
