Oil Pressure Check
Oil level in oil pan.
If oil level is low, add oil up to Full level mark (hole) (1) on oil
level gauge.
Oil quality.
If oil is discolored, or deteriorated, change it.
For particular oil to be used, refer to the table in Section 0B.
Oil leaks.
If leak is found, repair it.
1) Disconnect oil pressure switch coupler (1) and remove oil
pressure switch (2) from cylinder block.
2) Install special tools (Oil pressure gauge) to vacated threaded
hole.
Special tool
(A) : 09915-77310
(B) : 09915-78211
3) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating tempera-
ture.
4) After warming up, raise engine speed to 4,000 rpm and mea-
sure oil pressure.
Oil pressure specification
280 – 430 kPa (2.8 – 4.3 kg/cm
2, 39.8 – 61.1 psi) at 4,000
rpm
5) Stop engine and remove oil pressure gauge and attachment.NOTE:
Prior to checking oil pressure, check the following items.
2. Low level mark (hole)
NOTE:
Be sure to place transmission gear shift lever in “Neu-
tral” (shift selector lever to “P” range for A/T model), and
set parking brake and block drive wheels.

6) Before reinstalling oil pressure switch (2), be sure to wrap its
screw threads with sealing tape (1) and tighten switch to
specified torque.
Tightening torque
Oil pressure switch (a) : 14 N.m (1.4 kg-m, 10.5 lb-ft)
7) Start engine and check oil pressure switch for oil leakage.
If oil leakage is found, repair it.
8) Connect oil pressure switch coupler (1).NOTE:
If sealing tape edge is bulged out from screw threads of
switch, cut it off.

4) Turn camshaft by approximately 90° clockwise and remove
shim (3).
2. Plug hole
NOTE:
Check the special tools carved seal as shown, and
then install special tool in accordance with the location
of each camshaft housing.
If special tool is holding down the shim, adjust special
tool position so as not to hold down the shim by loos-
ening camshaft housing bolt.

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.
