4. Clean the mating area of intake valve timing control solenoid
valve. Insert a clean shop cloth (with no oil adhesion) into the oil
hole (A) of the cylinder head.
5. Install engine mounting bracket (RH), engine mounting insulator,
and torque rod (RH) under the Step 4 condition. (With intake
valve timing control solenoid valve removed, and a shop cloth
inserted into the oil hole.) Refer to EM-72, "
Component".
6. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out
from intake valve timing control solenoid valve hole (A). End crank after checking.
• Check engine oil leakage by oil amount adhered to the waste inserted into the oil hole.
WARNING:
Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive belts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
CAUTION:
• Do not perform cranking without installing right engine mount bracket, right engine mount insu-
lator, and right torque rod.
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth so as to prevent the worker from injury from engine oil
and so as to prevent engine oil contamination.
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth so as to prevent engine oil from being splashed to
engine and vehicle. Especially, be careful not to apply engine oil to rubber parts of drive belts,
engine mounting insulator, etc. Wipe engine oil off immediately if it is splashed.
7. Perform the following inspection if engine oil does not come out from intake valve timing control solenoid
valve oil hole of the cylinder head.
• Remove oil filter (for intake valve timing control), and then clean it. Refer to EM-76, "
Component".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-5
.
8. Remove components between intake valve timing control solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-5
.
9. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal
Valve ClearanceINFOID:0000000001702497
INSPECTION
Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replacement of camshaft or valve-related parts, or if
there is unusual engine conditions regarding valve clearance.
1. Remove rocker cover. Refer to EM-30
.
2. Measure the valve clearance with the following procedure:
a. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC of its compression stroke.
• Rotate crankshaft pulley (1) clockwise and align TDC mark (no paint) (B) to timing indicator (A) on front
cover.

CYLINDER HEAD
• Water outlet; Refer to CO-19.
• Rocker cover; Refer to EM-30
.
• Front cover, timing chain; Refer to EM-37
.
• Camshaft; Refer to EM-47
.
6. Remove cylinder head.
• Loosen bolts in reverse order as shown.
• Using TORX socket (size E18), loosen cylinder head bolts.
7. Remove cylinder head gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Outer Diameter
• Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with a new one.
• If reduction of outer diameter appears in a position other than “d2”,
use it as “d2” point.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checked. Refer to EM-93, "
Inspection
After Disassembly".
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. with a scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for engine oil or water.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure the distortion in six directions using straightedge (A)
and feeler gauge (B).
• If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install cylinder head gasket.
2. Apply new engine oil to threads and seating surface of bolts.
CAUTION:
If cylinder head bolts re-used, check their outer diameters before installation. Follow the "Cylinder
Head Bolts Outer Diameter" procedure.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly from vehicle, separate transaxle from engine. Refer to EM-72.
2. Install engine to engine stand as follows;
a. Remove flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (1) (A/T or CVT
models).
• Secure flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (A/T or CVT mod-
els) using Tool (A), and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch drive plate (A/T or CVT
models) and contact surface for clutch disc of flywheel (M/T
models).
NOTE:
Figure shows drive plate (A/T or CVT models)
b. Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.
CAUTION:
• Use the engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 135 kg (298 lb) or more] large
enough for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten-
tial risk of overturning stand.
- Exhaust manifold; Refer to EM-21
.
- Rocker cover; Refer to EM-30
.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support mating surface of transaxle with flywheel (M/T
models) or drive plate (A/T or CVT models) removed.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.

InspectionINFOID:0000000001702518
ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, park vehicle on a level surface and check the engine oil level. If engine is already
started, stop it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range (A) as shown.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE
• Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.
• If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following areas:
• Oil pan (upper and lower)
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter
• Intake valve timing control solenoid valve
• Front cover
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
• Oil filter (for intake valve timing control)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:
• Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.
• For engine oil pressure check the transaxle should be in “ Park position” (A/T models) and (CVT
models) or “Neutral position” (M/T models), and apply the parking brake securely.
1. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure switch (1), and
remove oil pressure switch using a suitable tool.
• Oil pan (lower) (2)
