Engine mechanismEngine assemblyInspection1. Check coolant.
2. Check engine oil.
3. Check battery.
4. Check air filter assembly.
5. Check spark plug [4G18-3705113].
6. Check drive belt [4G18-1307107].Hint: do not check belt tension, because automatic tensioner is applied.7. Check ignition timing.(a) Warm up engine.
(b) Connect timing lamp to engine.
(c) Check ignition timing at idle speed.
Ignition timing: before top dead center Note: when checking ignition timing, place
transmission at neutral position.
Hint: After run the engine for 5 seconds with rotating
speed of 1000-1300rpm, check the engine could
recover to idle running.8. Check engine idle speed.(a) Warm up engine and run it at idle speed.
(b) Read engine rotating number in data flow with diagnostic instrument.
(c) Check idle speed.
Idle speed: about 750-850rpm
Notes:When checking idle speed, place cooling fan at OFF position.Turn off all auxiliary devices and air conditioner.Engine mechanism - Engine assemblyK-line 26

Engine mechanism - Valve clearanceValve clearanceAdjustment1. Remove engine plastic hood components.
2. Remove ignition coil components [4G18-3705110].
3. Remove cylinder head cover components [4G18-
1003130].
4. Remove engine right bottom shield.
5. Turn crankshaft to cylinder 1 compression top dead
center position.(a) Turn crankshaft pulley to align its groove with “o” mark on
timing chain hood.
(b) Check dot marks on camshaft timing sprocket and VVT
timing sprocket, and they should be in a line on timing chain
hood surface as shown in the diagram.
Hint: if not, turn crankshaft for one circle again
and align the above marks.6. Check valve clearance.(a) Only check the valves shown in the diagram.
(1) Measure the clearance between valve tappet and cam-
shaft with plug gauge.
(2) Record valve clearance measuring value exceeding
specification, and this value will be used to determine
valve tappet thickness that needs change.
Valve clearance (cold vehicle)Intake airExhaust(b) Turn crankshaft for one circle ), and cylinder 4 is
turned to compression top dead center position.
(c) Only check the valves shown in the diagram. Measure valve
clearance (see step (a)).7. Remove drive beltSlowly turn drive belt tensioner clockwise to loosen it.
Then remove drive belt and put back drive belt tensioner slowly
and gently. 30 Mark

(b) Place wooden block between jack and engine, properly
place the jack, and then remove right engine mounting
assembly.9. Remove drive belt tensioner device [4G18-
1300200].Hint: operate the jack up and down to remove bolts.10. Adjust valve clearance.Note: do not turn crankshaft before installing chain
tensioner.
(a) Turn crankshaft to cylinder 1 top dead center position.
(b) Align the marks on timing chain and camshaft timing
sprocket.
(c) Remove 2 bolts and chain tensioner.
(d) Fix camshaft with adjustable wrench and then loosen
the fixed bolts of exhaust camshaft timing sprocket.
Note: be careful not to damage valve lifter.
(e) As sequences shown in the diagram, loosen camshaft
bearing cover bolts on exhaust camshaft at several
times and remove the bearing cover at the same time.
(f) As shown in the diagram, remove exhaust camshaft
timing sprocket.Painting
