9. Turn the crankshaft pulley clockwise 90°
from the position of No.
3 cylinder compression TDC (clockwise by 360 ° from the posi-
tion of No. 1 cylinder compression TDC) to measure the intake
and exhaust valve clearances of No. 6 cylinder (G) and the
exhaust valve clearance of No. 2 cylinder (E).

10. If out of specifications, adjust as necessary.
ADJUSTMENT
NOTE:
• Perform adjustment depending on the selected head thickness of the valve lifter.
• The specified valve lifter thickness is the dimension at normal temperatures. Ignore dimensional differences
caused by temperature. Us e the specifications for hot engine condition to adjust.
1. Remove the camshaft. Refer to EM-53, "
Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the valve lifters at the locations that are out of specification.
3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters using suitable tool.
4. Use the equation below to calculate the valve lifter thickness for replacement.
• Valve lifter thickness calculation:Thickness of replacement valve lifter = t1+ (C1 - C2)
t1 = Thickness of removed valve lifter
C1 = Measured valve clearance
C2= Standard valve clearance:
• Thickness of a new valve lifter can be identified by stamp marks on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark N788 indicates 7.88 mm (0.3102 in) in thickness.
• Available thickness of valve lifter: 25 sizes with range 7.88 to 8.36 mm (0.3102 to 0.3291 in) in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
(when manufactured at factory). Refer to EM-108, "
Standard
and Limit".
5. Install the selected valve lifter.

COMPRESSION PRESSURE
Checking Compression PressureINFOID:0000000005885870
1. Warm up the engine thoroughly. Then stop the engine.
2. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-487, "
Fuel Pressure Check".
CAUTION:
If CONSULT-III is not used to release fuel pressure leave the fuel pump fuse disconnected until
step 7.
3. Remove the spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to EM-16, "
Removal and Installation".
4. Connect the engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-III).
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, check 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. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression 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-8, "
Trouble Diagnosis Introduction".

Hold Tool where it cont acts and goes no further.
d. Draw and pull out quick connector straight from fuel tube. CAUTION:
• Pull quick connector holding "A" position in illustration.
• Do not pull with lateral force applied. O-ring inside quick connector may be damaged.
• Prepare container and cloth be forehand as fuel will leak out.
• Avoid fire and sparks.
• Be sure to cover openings of disconnected pipes with plug or plastic bag to avoid fuel leakage and entry of foreign materials.
6. Remove or disconnect harnesses, brake booster va cuum hose and PCV hose and tube from intake man-
ifold.

INTAKE MANIFOLD
• Tighten the intake manifold bolts in numerical order as shown.
• Install the EVAP canister purge control solenoid valve connector with it facing front of engine.
• Tighten the electronic throttle control actuator bolts of the electric throttle control actuator equally and diago-
nally in several steps.
• After installation perform procedure in "INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION".
• Install the water hose so that its overlap width for connection is between 27 mm (1.06 in) and 32 mm (1.26 in) (target: 27 mm 1.06 in).
Connecting Quick Connector of Fuel Tube
Install quick connector as follows (the steps are t he same for quick connectors on both engine side and vehi-
cle side except for the quick connector cap).
1. Make sure no foreign substances are deposited in and around tube and quick connector, and they are not damaged.
2. Thinly apply new engine oil around the fuel tube from tip end to the spool end.
3. Align center to insert quick connector straight into fuel tube. • Insert until the paint mark for engagement identification (white)goes completely inside quick connector so that you cannot see
it from the straight side of the connected part. Use a mirror to
check this where it is not possible to view directly from the
straight side, such as quick connector on vehicle side.
• Insert fuel tube into quick connector until top spool is com- pletely inside quick connector, and 2nd level spool exposes
right below quick connector on engine side.
CAUTION:
• Hold "A" position in illustration when inserting fuel tubeinto quick connector.
• Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.
• Insert until you hear a "click" sound and actually feel the
engagement.
• To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar
sound, be sure to pe rform the next step.
4. Pull quick connector by hand holding "A" position. Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that
it does not come out from fuel tube.
NOTE:
Recommended pulling force is 50 N (5.1 kg, 11.2 lb).
