Engine Compression Test Procedure
1. Start and run the engine until the engine
reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the engine off.
3. Remove all the spark plugs.
4. Remove ignition coil fuse (15A) and disable the ignition system.
5. Remove the fuel pump relay from the relay and fuse box. 6. Engage the starter and check that the cranking
speed is approximately 300 rpm.
7. Install cylinder compression gauge into spark plug hole.
8. With the throttle valve opened fully, keep the starter engaged until the compression gauge
needle reaches the maximum level. Note the
reading.
9. Repeat the test with each cylinder. The pressure difference between the individual
cylinders should not exceed 100kPa (14.5 psi).

bearings usually make dull noise
that becomes more evident when
accelerating) Oil clearance increased due to
worn crank journals or crank
bearings Replace crank bearings and

Engine Oil Pressure Check
1. Check for dirt, gasoline or water in the engine
oil.
a. Check the viscosity of the oil.
b. Change the oil if the viscosity is outside the specified standard.
c. Refer to the "Maintenance and Lubrication" section of this manual.
2. Check the engine oil level. The level should fall somewhere between the
"ADD" and the "FULL" marks on the oil level
dipstick.
If the oil level does not reach the "ADD" mark on
the oil level dipstick, engine oil must be added.
3. Remove the oil pressure unit.
4. Install an oil pressure gauge.
5. Start the engine and allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature (About 80 °C).
6. Measure the oil pressure.
Oil pressure should be:
150 kPa(21.8 psi) at idle speed.
7. Stop the engine.
8. Remove the oil pressure gauge
9. Install the oil pressure unit.
10. Start the engine and check for leaks.

6A-4 ENGINE MECHANICAL (C24SE)
GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Engine Cleanliness And Care
An automobile engine is a combination of many machined, honed, polished and lapped surfaces with tolerances
that are measured in the thousandths of a millimeter (ten thousandths of an inch). Accordingly, when any internal
engine parts are serviced, care and cleanliness are important. Throughout this section, it should be understood that
proper cleaning and protection of machined surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair procedure. This is
considered standard shop practice even if not specifically stated.
z A liberal coating of engine oil should be applied to all friction areas during assembly to protect and lubricate
the surfaces on initial operation.
z W henever valve train components, pistons, piston rings, connecting rods, rod bearings, and crankshaft journal
bearings are removed for service, they should be retained in order.
z
At the time of installation, they should be installed in the same locations and with the same mating surfaced as
when removed.
z Battery cables should be disconnected before any major work is performed on the engine. Failure to
disconnect cables may result in damage to wire harness or other electrical parts.
z The four cylinders of this engine are identified by numbers; cylinders 1, 2, 3 and 4, as counted from crankshaft
pulley.
