Engine Oil Pressure
6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: INSPECTION
1) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
2) Remove the generator from bracket. SC(H4SO)-15, REMOVAL, Generator.>
3) Disconnect the connector from oil pressure
switch.
4) Remove the oil pressure switch from cylinder
block. sure Switch.>
5) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
6) Connect the battery ground cable to battery.
7) Start the engine, and then measure the oil pres-
sure.
Oil pressure:
Standard:
88 kPa (0.9 kg/cm
2, 13 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000
rpmCAUTION:
 If the oil pressure is out of specification,
check the oil pump, oil filter and lubrication
line. gine Lubrication System Trouble in General.>
 If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON
and oil pressure is in specification, replace the
oil pressure switch. SPECTION, Engine Lubrication System Trouble
in General.>
NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil tem-
perature of 80°C (176°F).
8) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. LATION, Oil Pressure Switch.>

(1) Turn the cylinder block to face the #2 and #4
piston sides upward.
(2) Remove the bolts which secure oil pan to
cylinder block.(3) Insert a oil pan cutter blade between cylin-
der block-to-oil pan clearance, and then remove
the oil pan.
NOTE:
Do not use a screwdriver or similar tool in place of
oil pan cutter.

28) Install the water by-pass pipe for heater.
29) Get a engine oil filter and apply a thin coat of
engine oil to the seal rubber.
30) 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.
31) Tighten the cylinder head bolts.
(1) Apply a coat of engine oil to washers and
bolt threads.
(2) Tighten all bolts to 29 N⋅m (3.0 kgf-m, 22 ft-
lb) in alphabetical sequence.
Then tighten all bolts to 69 N⋅m (7.0 kgf-m, 51 ft-
lb) in alphabetical sequence.
(3) Back off all bolts by 180° in reverse order of
installation, and back them off again by 180°.
(4) Tighten all bolts to 42 N⋅m (3.9 kgf-m, 31 ft-
lb) in alphabetical sequence.
(5) Tighten all bolts by 80° — 90° in alphabeti-
cal sequence.
(6) Tighten all bolts by 40° — 45° in alphabeti-
cal sequence.
NOTE:
Do not tighten the bolts more than 45°.
(7) Further tighten bolts (a) and (b) by 40° —
45°.NOTE:
Ensure the total “re-tightening angle” in the [former
two steps], do not exceed 90°.
32) Install the oil level gauge guide and tighten the
attaching bolt (left side only).
33) Install the rocker cover.
34) Install the crank sprocket. 55, INSTALLATION, Crank Sprocket.>
35) Install the cam sprocket. 53, INSTALLATION, Cam Sprocket.>
36) Install the timing belt assembly. ME(H4SO)-49, INSTALLATION, Timing Belt.>
37) Install the belt cover. INSTALLATION, Timing Belt Cover.>
38) Install the crank pulley. INSTALLATION, Crank Pulley.>
39) Install the generator and A/C compressor
