1. Remove the oil jet, and inspect it as follows. Make sure that a 1.1 mm (0.04 in.) diameter drillwill go through the nozzle hole (A) (1.2 mm
(0.05 in.) diameter).
 Insert the other end of a 1.1 mm (0.04 in.) drill into the oil intake (1.2 mm (0.05 in.) diameter).
Make sure the check ball (B) moves smoothly and
has a stroke of approximately 4.0 mm (0.16 in.).
 Check the oil jet operation with an air nozzle. It should take at least 200 kPa (2.0 kgf/cm , 28 psi)
to unseat the check ball.
NOTE: Replace the oil jet assembly if the nozzle is
damaged or bent.
2. Carefully install the oil jet. The mounting torque is critical.

7. Clean both balancer shaft No. 2 journals and the
bearing halves with a clean shop towel, then install
the balancer shafts into the lower balancer shaft
holder.
8. Place one strip of plastigage across each No. 2 journal.
9. Reinstall the bearings and the upper balancer shaft holder, then tighten the bolts.
NOTE: Do not rotate the balancer shafts during inspection.
 After torquing, tighten the three 8 mm bolts extra 16 ° (K20Z3 engine). 10. Remove the upper balancer shaft holder and the
bearings again, and measure the widest part with
the plastigage. If the balancer shaft No. 2 journal oil
clearance is out-of-tolerance, install new bearings,
and recheck. If it is still out-of-tolerance, replace the
balancer shafts.
11. Align the punch mark on the rear balancer shaft in the center of the two punch marks on the front
balancer shaft, then install the balancer shafts on
the lower balancer shaft holder.

1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully removethe radiator cap (A). Wet the radiator cap seal with
engine coolant, then install it on a commercially
available pressure tester (B).
2. Apply a pressure of 93 123 kPa (0.95 1.25 kgf/cm , 14 18 psi).
3. Check for a drop in pressure.
4. If the pressure drops, replace the cap. 1. Wait until the engine is cool, then carefully remove
the radiator cap and fill the radiator with engine
coolant to the base of the filler neck.
2. Attach a commercially available pressure tester (A) to the radiator, and apply a pressure of 93 123 kPa
(0.95 1.25 kgf/cm , 14 18 psi).
3. Inspect for engine coolant leaks and a drop in pressure.
4. Check for engine oil in the coolant and/or coolant in the engine oil.
5. Remove the tester, and reinstall the radiator cap.

1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
2. Turn the water pump pulley counterclockwise, and check that it turns freely and smoothly. If it does not
turn smoothly, replace the water pump (see page
10-6).
NOTE: When you check the water pump, you may
see a small amount of ‘‘weeping’’ from the bleed
holes (A). This is normal.
3. Install the drive belt (see page 4-31). 1. Remove the drive belt (see page 4-31).
2. Drain the engine coolant (see page 10-8).
3. Remove the drive belt auto-tensioner pulley
(see page 4-33).
4. Remove the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-16).
5. Remove the six bolts securing the water pump, then remove the water pump (A).
6. Inspect, and clean the O-ring groove and mating surface of the water passage.
7. Install the water pump with a new O-ring (B).
8. Clean up any spilled engine coolant.
9. Install the crankshaft pulley (see page 6-17).
10. Install the drive belt auto-tensioner pulley (see page 4-33).
11. Install the drive belt (see page 4-31).
12. Refill the radiator with engine coolant, and bleed the air from the cooling system with the heater
valve open (see step 6 on page 10-8).
