4) Wipe clean the oil filter matching surface on cyl-
inder block or oil cooler.
5) Get a new engine oil filter and apply a thin coat of
engine oil to the seal rubber.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to use the oil filter 80 mm (3.15 in)
in diameter to turbo model.6) Install the oil filter by turning it by hand, being
careful not to damage the seal rubber.
 Tighten the oil filter 80 mm (3.15 in) or 65 mm
(2.56 in) in diameter by approx. 2/3 — 3/4 rotation
more after the seal rubber of oil filter comes in con-
tact with cylinder block or oil cooler.
 Tighten the oil filter 68 mm (2.68 in) in diameter
by approx. 1 rotation more after the seal rubber of
oil filter comes in contact with cylinder block or oil
cooler.
CAUTION:
Do not tighten excessively, or oil may leak.
7) After installing the oil filter, run the engine and
make sure that no oil is leaking around seal rubber.
NOTE:
The filter element and filter case are permanently
joined; therefore, interior cleaning is not necessary.
8) Check the engine oil level. PROCEDURE, Pre-delivery Inspection.>

8. Valve Clearance
A: INSPECTION
NOTE:
Inspection and adjustment of the valve clearance
should be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle on a lift.
2) Lift-up the vehicle.
3) Remove the under cover.
4) Lower the vehicle.
5) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
6) Remove the belt cover (LH).
7) When inspecting the #1 and #3 cylinders:
(1) Disconnect the spark plug cords from spark
plugs RH side. REMOVAL, Spark Plug.>
(2) Disconnect the PCV hose from rocker cover
(RH).
(3) Remove the bolts, and then remove the
rocker cover (RH).
8) When inspecting the #2 and #4 cylinders:
(1) Disconnect the spark plug cords from spark
plugs (LH Side) REMOVAL, Spark Plug.>
(2) Disconnect the PCV hose from rocker cover
(LH).
(3) Remove the bolts, and then remove the
rocker cover (LH).
9) Set the #1 cylinder piston to top dead center of
compression stroke by rotating crank pulley clock-
wise using a socket wrench.NOTE:
When arrow mark (A) on the cam sprocket (LH)
comes exactly to the top, #1 cylinder piston is
brought to the top dead center of compression
stroke.
10) Measure the #1 cylinder valve clearance by us-
ing thickness gauge.
CAUTION:
 Insert the thickness gauge (A) in as horizon-
tal a direction as possible with respect to the
valve stem end face.
 Measure the exhaust valve clearances while
lifting-up the vehicle.
Valve clearance (Standard):
Intake;
0.20
±0.04 mm (0.0079±0.0016 in)
Exhaust;
0.25
±0.04 mm (0.0098±0.0016 in)
11) If necessary, adjust the valve clearance. to ME(H4SO)-32, ADJUSTMENT, Valve Clear-
ance.>
12) Similar to measurement procedures used for
#1 cylinder, measure the #2, #3 and #4 cylinder
valve clearances.
NOTE:
 Be sure to set the cylinder pistons to their re-
spective top dead centers on compression stroke
before measuring valve clearances.

 To set the #3, #2 and #4 cylinder pistons to their
top dead centers on compression stroke, turn the
crank pulley clockwise 90° at a time starting with ar-
row mark on cam sprocket (LH) facing up.

NOTE:
Adjustment of the valve clearance should be per-
formed while engine is cold.
1) Set the #1 cylinder piston to top dead center of
compression stroke by rotating crank pulley clock-
wise using socket wrench.
NOTE:
When arrow mark (A) on the cam sprocket (LH)
comes exactly to the top, #1 cylinder piston is
brought to the top dead center of compression
stroke.2) Adjust the #1 cylinder valve clearance.
(1) Loosen the valve rocker nut and screw.
(2) Place suitable thickness gauge.
(3) While noting the valve clearance, tighten the
valve rocker adjusting screw.
(4) When specified valve clearance is obtained,
tighten the valve rocker nut.
Tightening torque:
10 N
⋅m (1.0 kgf-m, 7.2 ft-lb)
CAUTION:
 Insert the thickness gauge in as horizontally
as possible with respect to the valve stem end
face.
 Adjust the exhaust valve clearances while
lifting up the vehicle.
Valve clearance:
Intake:
0.20
±0.04 mm (0.0079±0.0016 in)
Exhaust:
0.25
±0.04 mm (0.0098±0.0016 in)
3) Ensure the valve clearances are within specifi-
cations.
4) Turn the crankshaft two complete rotations until
#1 cylinder piston is again set to the top dead cen-
ter of compression stroke.
5) Ensure the valve clearances are within specifi-
cations. If necessary, readjust the valve clearanc-
es.
6) Similar to adjustment procedures used for #1
cylinder, adjust the #2, #3 and #4 cylinder valve
clearances.

(7) Ream the inside of valve guide with ST.
Gently rotate the reamer clockwise while press-
ing it lightly into valve guide, and return it also ro-
tating clockwise. After reaming, clean the valve
guide to remove chips.
CAUTION:
 Apply engine oil to the reamer when reaming.
 If the inner surface of the valve guide is torn,
the edge of the reamer should be slightly
ground with an oil stone.
 If the inner surface of the valve guide be-
comes lustrous and the reamer does not chips,
use a new reamer or remedy the reamer.

Engine Oil
3. Engine Oil
A: INSPECTION
1) Park the vehicle on a level surface.
2) Remove the oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
3) Reinsert the level gauge all the way. Be sure that
the level gauge is correctly inserted and in the
proper orientation.
4) Remove it again and note the reading. If the en-
gine oil level is below the “L” line, add oil to bring
the level up to “F” line.
5) After turning off the engine, wait a few minutes
for the oil to drain back into the oil pan before
checking the level.
6) Just after driving or while the engine is warm, en-
gine oil level may show in the range between the
“F” line and notch mark. This is caused by thermal
expansion of the engine oil.
NOTE:
To prevent overfilling the engine oil, do not add oil
above the “F” line when the engine is cold.
B: REPLACEMENT
1) Open the engine oil filler cap for quick draining of
the engine oil.
2) Remove six clips.
3) Turn the service hole cover counterclockwise.
4) Drain the engine oil by loosening the engine oil
drain plug.
5) Replace the drain plug gasket.
