C: CAUTION
•Wear work clothing, including a cap, protective
goggles and protective shoes during operation.
•Remove contamination including dirt and corro-
sion before removal, installation or disassembly.
•Keep the disassembled parts in order and pro-
tect them from dust and dirt.
•Before removal, installation or disassembly, be
sure to clarify the failure. Avoid unnecessary re-
moval, installation, disassembly and replacement.
•Be careful not to burn yourself, because each
part on the vehicle is hot after running.
•Be sure to tighten fasteners including bolts and
nuts to the specified torque.
•Place shop jacks or rigid racks at the specified
points.
•Before disconnecting connectors of sensors or
units, be sure to disconnect the ground cable from
the battery.
•All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying
special attention to engine oil passages, pistons
and bearings.
•Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston,
bearing and gear should be coated with oil prior to
assembly.
•Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact
the timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
•All removed parts, if to be reused, should be re-
installed in the original positions and directions.
•Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with
new ones as required.
•Even if necessary inspections have been made
in advance, proceed with assembly work while
making rechecks.
•Remove or install the engine in an area where
chain hoists, lifting devices, etc. are available for
ready use.
•Be sure not to damage coated surfaces of body
panels with tools, or not to stain seats and windows
with coolant or oil. Place a cover over fender, as re-
quired, for protection.
•Prior to starting work, prepare the following:
Service tools, clean cloth, containers to catch cool-
ant and oil, wire ropes, chain hoist, transmission
jacks, etc.
•Lift-up or lower the vehicle when necessary.
Make sure to support the correct positions.

Engine Oil Pressure
MECHANICAL
6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the oil pressure switch from cylinder
block. Pressure Switch.>
2) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
3) Connect the ground cable to the battery.
4) Start the engine, and measure the oil pressure.
OIL PRESSURE (at oil temperature of 80°C
(176°F)):
Standard:
135 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2, 20 psi) or more (at
600 rpm)
500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm2, 73 psi) or more (at
5,000 rpm)
CAUTION:
•If the oil pressure is out of specification,
check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line.
Diagnostics Table.>
•If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON
and oil pressure is in specification, replace the
oil pressure switch. SPECTION, General Diagnostics Table.>
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. LATION, Oil Pressure Switch.>
Tightening torque:

8. Valve Clearance
A: INSPECTION
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance
should be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle on a lift.
2) Remove the collector cover.
3) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
4) Lift-up the vehicle.
5) Remove the under cover.
6) Lower the vehicle.
7) When inspecting RH side cylinders:
(1) Remove the air intake duct and air cleaner
case. take Duct.> Air Cleaner Case.>
(2) Remove the fuel tank protector (RH).
(3) Disconnect the connector of oil pressure
switch.
(4) Remove the ignition coil. IG(H6DO)-7, REMOVAL, Ignition Coil & Ignitor
Assembly.>
(5) Remove the rocker cover (RH).
8) When inspecting LH side cylinders:
(1) Disconnect the battery cable, and then re-
move the battery and battery carrier.
(2) Disconnect the PCV hose and blow-by hose
from rocker cover (LH).
(3) Remove the fuel pipe protector (LH).
(4) Remove the ignition coil. IG(H6DO)-7, REMOVAL, Ignition Coil & Ignitor

29) Disconnect the fuel delivery hose and evapora-
tion hose.
(1) Disconnect the connector of fuel pipe by
pushing the ST in the direction of arrow.

(2) Remove the clamp, and disconnect the
evaporation hose from the pipe.
CAUTION:
•Collect fuel from the hose into container.
•Disconnect the hose with its end wrapped
with cloth to prevent fuel from splashing.
30) Support the engine with a lifting device and
wire ropes.
31) Support the transmission with a garage jack.
CAUTION:
Doing this is very important because the trans-
mission lowers for its own weight. This work is
also of great importance for facilitating reinstal-
lation.
CAUTION:
Before removing the engine away from trans-
mission, check to be sure no work has been
overlooked.
32) Separation of engine and transmission:
(1) Remove the starter. REMOVAL, Starter.>
(2) Remove the bolts which hold upper side of
transmission to engine.
33) Install the ST to converter case.
