OIL SEAL
Removal and Installation of Valve Oil SealINFOID:0000000003531537
REMOVAL
1. Remove the camshaft relating to the valve oil seal to be removed. Refer to
EM-46, "Removal and Installa-
tion".
2. Remove the valve lifters. Refer to EM-65, "
Removal and Installation".
• Correctly identify the location where each part is removed from. Keep parts organized to avoid mixing
them up.
3. Turn the crankshaft until the cylinder requiring new oil seals is at TDC. This will prevent the valve from
dropping into the cylinder.
4. Remove the valve collet using Tool.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the valve lifter holes.
5. Remove the valve spring retainer and valve spring. CAUTION:
Do not remove the valve spring seat from the valve spring.
6. Remove the valve oil seal using Tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
• Install the valve oil seal using Tool.
• Apply new engine oil on the new valve oil seal joint and seal lip.
• Install the valve oil seal to the specified height "H".

OIL SEAL
3. Remove the front oil seal using suitable tool.CAUTION:
Do not damage front cover and oil pump drive spacer.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to both the oil seal lip and dust seal lip of the new front oil seal.
2. Install the front oil seal.• Install the front oil seal so that each seal lip is oriented as
shown.

seal.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
Removal and Installation of Rear Oil SealINFOID:0000000003531539
REMOVAL
1. Remove the transmission assembly. Refer to AT-223, "Removal and Installation (2WD)" or AT-225,
"Removal and Installation (4WD)".
2. Lock the drive plate using Tool A.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the drive plat e. Especially, avoid deforming
and damaging the signal plat e teeth (circumference posi-
tion).

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-80, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-II is not used to release fuel pressure leave the fu el pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-29, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install the compression tester with Tool into the spark plug hole.
6. With the accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn the ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge pointer stabi-
lizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform
these steps to check each cylinder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, che ck the battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the
engine speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If the compression pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve clearances and parts associ- ated with the combustion chamber (valve, valve seat , piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour a 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, t he piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at a low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. R eplace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or a valve in adjacent cylinders
may be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. Install the components in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start the engine and confirm that it runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-32
