CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Using CONSULT-II, make sure no error codes are indicated for self-diagnosis items. Refer to EC-1012,
"Basic Inspection" (WITH EURO-ODB) or EC-1382, "Basic Inspection" (WITHOUT EURO-ODB).

Do not disconnect CONSULT-II until the end of this operation; it will be used to check engine rpm and
for error detection at the end of this operation.
3. Disconnect the battery cable from the negative terminal.
4. Remove charge air cooler. Refer to EM-144, "
Removal and Installation"
5. To prevent fuel from being injected during inspection, remove
fuel pump fuse [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] from fuse box on the left
side of engine room.

Among marks on fuse box, [ENG CONT 2 (20A)] is for fuel
pump fuse.
6. Remove glow plugs from all the cylinders. Refer to EM-162,
"Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:

Before removal, clean the surrounding area to prevent
entry of any foreign materials into engine.

Carefully remove glow plugs to prevent any damage or
breakage.

Handle with care to avoid applying any shock to glow plugs.
7. Install compression gauge adapter (special service tool) to
installation holes of glow plugs and connect compression gauge
for diesel engine.
8. Connect the battery cable to the negative terminal.
9. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to
“START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabilizes, read
the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps
to check each cylinder.

Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified engine
speed.
Compression pressure
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi)/rpm

When engine rpm is out of the specified range, check the specific gravity of battery liquid. Measure
again under corrected conditions.

If engine rpm exceeds the limit, check valve clearance and combustion chamber components (valves,
valve seats, cylinder head gaskets, piston rings, pistons, cylinder bores, cylinder block upper and lower
surfaces) and measure again.

If compression pressure is low in some cylinders, apply engine oil from glow plug installation hole. Then
check pressure again.
–If compression pressure becomes normal after applying engine oil, piston ring may be worn or dam-
aged. Check piston ring for malfunction. If any, replace piston ring.
–If compression pressure is still low after applying engine oil, valve may be malfunctioning. Check valve
for malfunction. If contact malfunction is found, replace valve or valve seat.

If compression pressure in adjacent two cylinders is low after applying engine oil, pressure may be
leaking from gasket. In this case, replace cylinder head gasket.

Remove cylinder head bolts in reverse order as shown in the
figure with the cylinder head bolt wrench (commercial service
tool).

Lift up cylinder head assembly to avoid interference with
dowel pins located between the cylinder block and cylinder
head, and remove cylinder head assembly.
CAUTION:
Remove glow plug in advance to avoid damage as the tip
of the glow plug projects from the bottom of cylinder
head, or, place wood blocks beneath both ends of cylin-
der head to keep the cylinder bottom from any contact.

For glow plug removal, the following shall be noted.
CAUTION:

To avoid breakage, do not remove glow plug unless necessary.

Perform continuity test with glow plug installed.

Keep glow plug from any impact. [Replace if dropped from a height 10 cm (3.94 in) or higher.]

Do not use air impact wrench.
4. Remove cylinder head gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolt Deformation

Using micrometer, measure the outer diameters “d1” and “d2” of
bolt thread as shown in the figure.

If the necking point can be identified, set it as measuring point
“d1”.

Calculate the difference between “d1” and “d2”.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head bolt.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checked. Refer to EM-249, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK TOP SURFACE DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealer, carbon, etc. with scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for oil or water.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure distortion in six directions.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.

Cylinder head- to- block Difference Check

After installing cylinder head, measure dimension from the front
end surface of cylinder block to that of cylinder head.

If out of the standard, check fitting of dowel pins and cylinder
head.
INSTALLATION
Before installation, remove old liquid gasket from mating surface of all liquid gasket applied parts.
1. Install cylinder head gasket.

Cylinder head gasket to be installed is selected by its thickness through the following procedure.
–When replacing gasket alone
 Install a gasket with same thickness as that of the one removed.
 Identify the thickness of gasket by the number of cut-outs on
the rear right side.
*: Measured with head bolts tightened
 Gasket thickness can be identified at the location shown in
the figure by the numbers of cut-outs before removal.
–When the following parts have been repaired/replaced:

With cylinder block upper surface and/or crankshaft pin journal ground

With cylinder block, pistons, connecting rods, and/or crankshaft replaced
a. Set piston at a point close to TDC.Standard : 23.53 - 24.07 mm (0.9264 - 0.9476 in)

c. Tighten 180 degrees in numerical order as shown (angle tight-
ening).
d. Loosen completely in reverse order of that shown in the figure.
e. Tighten all bolts in numerical order as shown.
f. Tighten 90 degrees in numerical order as shown (angle tighten-
ing).
g. Tighten another 90 degrees in numerical order as shown (angle
tightening).
CAUTION:

When the angle wrench (special service tool) is not used, paint an alignment mark on the head
of cylinder head bolt and cylinder head surface before tightening. Check the angle with a pro-
tractor.
4. Install glow plug.
CAUTION:

To avoid damage, glow plugs should be removed only when required.

Handle with care to avoid applying shock. When dropped from approx. 10 cm (3.94 in) or higher,
always replace with a new one.

Before installing, remove carbon depositing on mounting hole of glow plug with a reamer.
5. Install in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
