CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-93, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
CAUTION:
Leave the fuel pump fuse disconnected until step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-27, "
REMOVAL" .
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install the compression tester with Tool into the spark plug hole.
6. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition
switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabi-
lizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.

If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.

If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ-
ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After checking, measure the compression pressure again.

If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at a low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.

If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start the engine and confirm that it runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-95, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" . Tool number : EG15050500 (J-45402)

Undersize Bearings Usage Guide

When the specified oil clearance is not obtained with standard size connecting rod bearings, use under-
size (US) bearings.

When using undersize bearing, measure the bearing inside diameter with the bearing installed, and grind
the crankshaft pin so that the oil clearance satisfies the standard.
Bearing undersize table
Unit: mm (in)
CAUTION:
In grinding the crankshaft pin to use undersize bearings, keep
the fillet R (All crankshaft pins).
HOW TO SELECT MAIN BEARING
When New Cylinder Block and Crankshaft are Used
1. Apply the main bearing housing grade on the bottom face of the
cylinder block to the row in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
2. Apply the journal diameter grade on the crankshaft front to the
column in "Main Bearings Selection Table".
3. Read the symbol at the cross point of the selected row and column in the "Main Bearings Selection Table".
CAUTION:

Initial clearance for No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal is different. Use two different selection
lists for each part.

No. 1, 5 journal and No. 2, 3, 4 journal have the same signs but different measures. Do not con-
fuse them.
4. Apply the symbol to the "Main Bearings Grade Table" to select.
NOTE:

Grade list applies to all journals.

Service parts are available as a set of both upper and lower.

11. Keep the side bearing outer races together with inner race. Do
not mix them up.
12. Remove side bearing inner race.
To prevent damage to bearing, engage puller jaws in groove.
CAUTION:

To prevent damage to the side bearing and drive gear,
place copper plates between these parts and vise.

It is not necessary to remove side bearing except it is
replaced.

Be careful not to confuse left-hand and right-hand parts.
Keep bearing and bearing race for each side together.
13. Loosen drive gear mounting bolts in a crisscross fashion.
14. Tap drive gear off the differential case with a soft hammer.

Tap evenly all around to keep the drive gear from bending.
15. Drive out pinion mate shaft lock pin with suitable punch from
drive gear side.
