Coolant Replenishment
Warning:
When the coolant is heated to a high temperature, be
sure not to loosen or remove the rediator cap.
Otherwise you might get scalded by hot vapor or
boiling water.
To open the radiator cap, put a piece of thick cloth on
the cap and loosen the cap slowly to reduce the
pressure when the coolant has become cooler.
1. Open rediator cap pour coolant up to filler neck
2. Pour coolant into reservoir tank up to "MAX" line
3. Tighten radiator cap and start the engine. After idling for 2 to 3 minutes, stop the engine and reopen radiator
cap. If the water level is lower, replenish.
4. After replenish the coolant tighten radiator cap, warm up the engine at about 2000 rpm. Set heater
adjustment to the highest temperature position, and let
the coolant circulate also into heater water system.
5. Check to see the thermometer, continuously idling 5 minutes and stop the engine.
6. W hen the engine has been cooled, check filler neck for water level and replenish if required. Should extreme
shortage of coolant is found, check the coolant system
and reservoir tank hose for leakage.
7. Pour coolant into the reservoir tank up to "MAX" line.

Engine Warm-Up
After completing the required maintenance procedures,
start the engine and allow it to idle until it is warm.
Check the following:
1. Engine idling speed.
2. Engine noise level.
3. Engine lubricating system and cooling system. Carefully check for oil and coolant leakage.
4. Clutch engagement.
5. Transmission operation.
6. Indicator warning light operation.

10. Timing Gear Case Cover The timing gear case is tightened together with the
injection pump at the 6 points indicated by the arrows in
the illustration.

12. Idle Gear B and shaft Before removing the idle gear B, install bolt (M6,L=30) to
the hole marked with an arrow in the illustration to hold the
scissor gear in place.



13. Idler Gear "A" 1. Measure the camshaft timing gear backlash and the crankshaft timing gear backlash before removing the
idler gear.
2. Measure the idler gear end play before removing the idler gear.

NOTE:
Refer to the following items for details on the backlash
and end play measurement procedures.



Timing Gear Backlash Measurement
1. Set a dial indicator to the timing gear to measured. Hold both the gear to be checked and the adjusting
gear stationary.
2. Move the gear to be checked as far as possible to both the right and the left.
Take the dial indicator reading.
If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the
timing gear must be replaced.

Valve Contact Width
1. Check the valve contact faces for roughness and unevenness. Make smooth the valve contact surfaces.
2. Measure the valve contact width. If the measured value exceeds the specified limit, the valve
seat insert must be replaced.

Exhaust 2.0 (0.079) 2.5 (0.078)
























Valve Seat Insert Replacement
Valve Seat Insert Removal
1. Arc weld the entire inside circumference (1) of the valve seat insert (2).
2. Allow the valve seat insert to cool for a few minutes. This will invite contraction and make removal of the valve
seat insert easier.
3. Use a screwdriver (3) to pry the valve seat insert free. Take care not to damage the cylinder head (4).
4. Carefully remove carbon and other foreign material from the cylinder head insert bore.

Valve Seat Insert Installation
1. Carefully place the attachment (1) (having a smaller outside diameter than the valve seat insert) on the valve
seat insert (2).
NOTE:
The smooth side of the attachment must contact the
valve seat insert.

2. Use a bench press (3) to gradually apply pressure to the attachment and press the valve seat insert into place.

NOTE:
Do not apply an excessive amount of pressure with
the bench press. Damage to the valve seat insert will
result.








Valve Seat Insert Correction
1. Remove the carbon from the valve seat insert surface.
2. Use a valve cutter (15 °, 45 °, and 75 ° blades) to minimize
scratches and other rough areas. This will bring the
contact width back to the standard value.
Remove only the scratches and rough areas. Do not cut
away too much. Take care not to cut away unblemished
areas of the valve seat surface.









Valve Seat Angle Degree
45
NOTE:
Use an adjustable valve cutter pilot.
Do not allow the valve cutter pilot to wobble inside the
valve guide.











3. Apply abrasive compound to the valve seat insert surface.
4. Insert the valve into the valve guide.
5. Turn the valve while tapping it to fit the valve seat insert.
6. Check that the valve contact width is correct.
7. Check that the valve seat insert surface is in contact with the entire circumference of the valve.
