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" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.

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.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-49, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (WITH EURO-OBD) or EC-562,
"FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" (WITHOUT EURO-OBD).
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during mea-
surement.
4. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-31, "
IGNITION COIL" and EM-32,
"SPARK PLUG" .
5. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
6. Install compression tester with adapter onto spark plug hole.

Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plug
hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
7. 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 cyl-
inder.
Compression pressure:
Unit: kPa (bar, kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully changed battery to obtain specified engine speed.

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

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

If some cylinder has low compression pressure, pour 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, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-
functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace 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, gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cylinder head gas-
kets.
8. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
9. Start engine, and confirm that engine runs smoothly.
10. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-73, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" (WITH
EURO-OBD) or EC-572, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" (WITHOUT EURO-OBD).

DRIVE BELTS

Checking Drive BeltsEBS00LRA

Before inspecting engine, make sure engine has cooled down;
wait approximately 30 minutes after engine has been stopped.

Visually inspect all belts for wear, damage or cracks on contact-
ing surfaces and edge areas.

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point ( ).
CAUTION:

When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turn-
ing crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the
specified value to avoid variation in deflection between
pulleys.

Tighten idler pulley lock nut by hand and measure deflection without looseness.
Belt Deflection:
*: When engine is cold.
Tension AdjustmentEBS00LRB

Adjust belts with the parts shown below.
CAUTION:

When a new belt is installed as a replacement, adjust it to the specified value under “New” value
because of insufficient adaptability with pulley grooves.

If the belt deflection of the current belt is out of the “Limit for re-adjusting”, adjust to the
“Adjusted” value.

When checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust it to the specified value to avoid vari-
ation in deflection between pulleys.

Make sure the belts are fully fitted into the pulley grooves during installation.

Handle with care to avoid smearing the belts with engine oil or engine coolant.

Do not twist or bend the belts with strong force.
