10) Disengage clutch (1) (to lighten starting load on engine) for
M/T vehicle, and depress accelerator pedal (2) all the way to
make throttle fully open.
11) Crank engine with fully charged battery, and read the highest
pressure on compression gauge.
Compression pressure specification
12) Carry out Steps 9) through 11) on each cylinder to obtain 4
readings.
13) After checking, install spark plugs and ignition coil assem-
blies (1) with high-tension cord (2).
14) Connect ignition coil couplers (3).
15) Connect fuel injector wires (4) at the coupler.
16) Check cylinder head upper cover gasket for deterioration and
then install it into groove of cylinder head upper cover (1)
securely.
17) Install cylinder head upper cover with gasket on to cylinder
head cover.
18) Connect accelerator cable (2) to clamp (3) (For left hand
steering vehicle only).
NOTE:
For measuring compression pressure, crank engine at
least 250 rpm by using fully charged battery.
If check results are below the limit valve, check instal-
lation condition for special tool.

Valve Lash (Clearance)
1) Remove negative cable at battery.
2) Remove cylinder head cover referring to “Cylinder Head
Cover” in this section.
3) Using 17 mm wrench, turn crankshaft pulley (1) clockwise
until cam lobes (2) become perpendicular to shim faces (3)
at valves “1” and “7” as shown in figure.
4) Check valve lashes with thickness gauge (4) according to
the following procedure.
If valve lash is out of specification, record valve lash and
adjust it to specification by replacing shim.
a) Check valve lashes at valves “1” and “7”.
b) Turn camshafts by 90° (by turning crankshaft with wrench).
c) Make sure that cam lobes are perpendicular to shim faces
at valves to be checked (in this case, “3” and “8”), if not,
adjust it by turning crankshaft. Check valve lashes.
d) In the same manner as b) – c), check valve lashes at valves
“4” and “6”.
e) In the same manner as b) – c) again, check valve lashes at
valves “2” and “5”.

NOTE:
Check the special tools carved seal as shown, and
then install special tool in accordance with the location
of each camshaft housing.

5) Using a micrometer (2), measure the thickness of the
removed shim (1), and determine replacement shim by cal-
culating the thickness of new shim with the following formula
and table.
Intake side
A = B + C – 0.20 mm (0.008 in.)
Exhaust side
A = B + C – 0.30 mm (0.012 in.)
A : Thickness of new shim
B : Thickness of removed shim
C : Measured valve clearance
Example of intake side :
When thickness of removed shim is 2.40 mm (0.094 in.), and
measured valve clearance is 0.45 mm (0.018 in.).
A = 2.40 mm (0.094 in.) + 0.45 mm (0.018 in.) – 0.20 mm (0.008
in.) = 2.65 mm (0.104 in.)
Calculated thickness of new shim = 2.65 mm (0.104 in.)
6) Select new shim No. (1) with a thickness as close as possi-
ble to calculated value.
Available new shims No.
7) Install new shim facing shim No. side with tappet.
