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-191, "
Component".
6. Crank engine, and then make sure that engine oil comes out from intake valve timing control solenoid valve hole (A). End cranking after checking.
• Check engine oil leakage by oil amount adhered to the shop cloth inserted into the oil hole.
WARNING:
• Be careful not to touch rotating parts (drive be lts, idler pulley, and crankshaft pulley, etc.).
• Prevent splashing by using a shop cloth so as to prevent the worker from injury from engine oil
and so as to prevent engi ne oil contamination.
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 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 engi ne 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-195, "
Component".
• Clean oil groove between oil strainer and intake valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to LU-16
.
8. Remove components between intake valve timing c ontrol solenoid valve and camshaft sprocket (INT),
and then check each oil groove for clogging.
• Clean oil groove if necessary. Refer to LU-16
.

Valve ClearanceINFOID:0000000005398133
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-149
.
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
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, c
heck battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
• If compression pressure is below minimum val ue, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (Valve, valve seat, piston, pi ston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
• If one cylinder has low compression pressure, pour 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, pi ston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-
ton rings and replace if necessary.
- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal- functioning. Check valves for damage. Repl ace valve or valve seat accordingly.
• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low co mpression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gasket is leaking. In such a case, replace cylinder
head gasket.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
10. Start the engine, and confirm that the engine runs smoothly.
11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-585, "
Trouble Diagnosis Introduction".

Valve Guide Inner Diameter
Measure the inner diameter of valve guide with a bore gauge.
Valve Guide Clearance
(Valve guide clearance) = (Valve guide inner diameter) – (Valve stem diameter).
• If it exceeds the limit, replace valve guide and/or valve.
VALVE GUIDE REPLACEMENT
When valve guide is removed, replace with oversized [0.2 mm (0.008 in)] valve guide.
1. To remove valve guide, heat cylinder head to 110 ° to 130° C
(230° to 266 °F) by soaking in heated oil (A).
2. Drive out valve guide using suitable tools. WARNING:
Cylinder head contai ns heat, when workin g, wear protective
equipment to avoid getting burned. Standard

VALVE SEAT CONTACT
• After confirming that the dimensions of valve guides and valves are within specifications, perform this proce-
dure.
• Apply prussian blue (or white lead) onto contacting surfac e of valve seat to check the condition of the valve
contact on the surface. Valve guide hole diameter (for service parts):

• Check if the contact area band is continuous all around the circum-
ference.
• If not, grind to adjust valve fitting and check again. If the contacting
surface still has NG conditions even after the re-check, replace
valve seat.
VALVE SEAT REPLACEMENT
When valve seat is removed, replace with oversized [0.5 mm (0.020 in)] valve seat.
1. Bore out old seat until it collapses. Boring shoul d not continue beyond the bottom face of the seat recess
in cylinder head. Set the machine depth stop to ensure this. Refer to EM-223, "
Standard and Limit".
2. Ream cylinder head (1) recess diameter for service valve seat.
• Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110° to 130°C (230° to 266° F) by soaking
in heated oil (A).
4. Use dry ice to thoroughly cool valve seats. Press-fit valve seat into cylinder head. WARNING:
• Never touch cold valve seats directly.
• Cylinder head contains heat, wh en working, wear protective equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set or valve seat grinder, finish valve seat to the specified dimensions. For dimensions, refer to EM-
223, "Standard and Limit".
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cu t in a single drive. Improper
pressure on the cutter or cutting many different times may
result in staged valve seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact.
