Note
If a MUT-III main harness A is
connected to a vehicle not fitted with
CAN, there is a chance that a pulse
signal will be entered in the simulated
vehicle speed line, when the MUT-III is
activated. Therefore, use a MUT-III main
harness B with vehicles not fitted with
CAN.

Engine tuning
1. Checking revolutions when the engine is
idling
The standard revolutions for when the engine is idling have been
changed. Other servicing guidelines remain unchanged.
Standard revolutions: 800 ± 50 r/min
2. Checking compression pressure
The standard for compression pressure and the limit for
compression pressure have been changed. Other servicing
guidelines remain unchanged.
Standard compression pressure: 1000 kPa – 250 r/min
Compression pressure limit: 650 kPa – 250r/min

Removal and fitting
Caution
1. If Brembo brake callipers are being used take care that they are not scratched by other components or tools
because there is a chance that the paint might peel off. In addition, if any brake fluid gets on the callipers, it
should be wiped off immediately.
2. Parts marked with * should be removed and then fitted for each cylinder in turn.
Jobs to be completed before removal and after fitting
• Removal and refitting of the undercover (Ref Section 51: Front bumper)
• Checking the tension of the drive belt (only after fitting)
• Draining and refilling of the coolant
• Removal and refitting of the air duct
• Removal and refitting of air pipe C

Fitting the O-ring/oil feeder control valve
Caution
1. Do not re-use O-rings.
2. When fitting O-rings, first wind some non-adhesive tape
(seal tape etc) around the oil channel of the oil feeder
control valve, in order to prevent damage to the O-ring.
If the O-ring touches the oil it could start an oil leak.
1. Apply engine oil to the O-ring on the oil feeder control valve.
2. Fit the oil feeder control valve to the cylinder head.
3. Tighten the mounting bolts for the oil feeder control valve to the
specified torque.
Tightening torque: 11 ± 1 N•m

Removal guidelines
 
A


Removing the timing belt
1. Turn the crankshaft in a clockwise direction, and match up all
the timing marks until the No.1 cylinder is in the compressor top
dead centre position.
Caution
Turn the crankshaft in the normal way.
2. Remove the rubber plug from the rear cover of the timing belt,
and prepare the special tool for adjusting bolts (MD998738).

3. Twist the special tool for adjusting bolts (MD998738) by hand
until it touches the tensioner arm.
Caution
The special tool for adjusting bolts (MD998738) can be
slowly twisted at a rate of about 30° per second but if it is
suddenly twisted the auto-tensioner rod cannot be easily
withdrawn, and this may lead to problems with twisting and
the possibility that the special tool for adjusting bolts
(MD998738) may become bent.
4. Twist the special tool for adjusting bolts (MD998738) a little, and
align the auto-tensioner rod with setting hole A, and the
tensioner cylinder with setting hole B.
5. Insert a wire or a pin into the aligned holes.
6. Remove the special tool for adjusting bolts (MD998738), and
then loosen the bolt for fitting the timing belt tensioner, and
remove the timing belt.
Caution
If a timing belt is being re-used, check and make a note of
the direction of the arrows indicating the rotational
direction (clockwise direction) on the back of the belt.
 
B


Removing the power steering oil pump ASSY
Remove the power steering oil pump ASSY from its bracket, with
the hose intact.
Note
Secure the removed power steering oil pump ASSY with string, and
put it somewhere where it will not hinder the removal or fitting of the
timing belt.
 
C


Removing the crankshaft sprocket
1. Hold the crankshaft sprocket in place using the special spanner
(MB991367) and the special pin (MB991385).
2. Remove the crankshaft sprocket.timing belt tensioner
