INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-
age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc. 1. Rear oil seal

• If out of the standard, referring to the each standard of va
lve lifter outer diameter and valve lifter hole diame-
ter, replace either or both valve lifter and cylinder head.

cedure".
• Check when engine is cold so as to pr event burns from the splashing engine oil.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
Inspection".
2. Perform the following procedure so as to prevent the engine from being unintentionally started while
checking.
a. Release the fuel pressure. Refer to EC-499, "
Inspection".
b. Remove intake manifold. Refer to EM-27, "

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolt s 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 appear s 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 checking. Refer to EM-116, "
Cylinder
Block".
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit ), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. with a scraper.
CAUTION:
Never allow gasket debris to enter passag es for engine oil or engine coolant.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head, measure the distortion in six directions.
• If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new cylinder head gasket.
