CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Run the engine until it reaches normal operating temperature.
2. Turn the ignition switch to OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure and leave t he fuel pump electrically disconnected.
Refer to EC-687, "Work Procedure"
.
4. Remove all six spark plugs. Refer to EM-132, "Removal and Installation"
.
5. Install the compression tester with the adapter into the spark plug hole. • Use compression tester whose end (a) (rubber portion) is
smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be
caught by cylinder head during removal.
6. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep the electric throttle control actuator butterfly-valve wide open to
maximize air intake flow.
7. Crank the engine and record the highest gauge indication.
8. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder (steps 5 - 7). NOTE:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)/rpm
9. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through the spark plug holes.
b. Retest compression (steps 5 - 8).
• If adding oil helps raise compression pressure, then the piston rings may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking piston.
• If the pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or is seating improperly. Inspect and repair the valve and/
or valve seat. Refer to EM-212, "Inspection After Disassembly"
. If the valve and/or valve seat is damaged
replace as necessary.
• If compression stays low in two or more cylinders that are next to each other:
- The cylinder head gasket may be leaking.
- Both cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect and repair as necessary.

4. Apply a bead of sealant to the cylinder block mating surface of
the upper oil pan to a limited portion as shown.
• Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant, or equivalent. Refer to GI-
21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
• Be sure the sealant is applied to a limited portion as shown, and the sealant is 4.5 - 5.5 mm (0.177 - 0.217 in) wide.
• Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
CAUTION:
The components must be instal led within 5 minutes of the
liquid gasket applicat ion. Then allow 30 minutes for the liq-
uid gasket to set before operating the engine.
5. Install new O-rings on the cylinder block and oil pump body. CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
6. Install the upper oil pan. • Tighten upper oil pan bolts in the order as shown.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling the engine with oil.
7. Install the lower oil pan. Refer to EM-156, "Removal and Installation (Lower Oil Pan)"
.
8. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
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-11, "FOR USA AND CANADA : 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, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.

6. Disconnect the fuel level sensor unit, fuel filter and fuel pump
assembly harness connector (C), EVAP hose quick connector
(A), and the fuel feed hose quick connector (B) from the fuel
level sensor unit, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly.
Remove the quick connector as follows:
• Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.
• If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them
by pulling.
CAUTION:
• The tube can be removed when the tabs are completely
depressed. Do not twist it more than necessary.
• Do not use any tools to remove the quick connector.
• Keep the resin tube away from heat. Be especially careful
when welding near the tube.
• Prevent acid liquid such as battery electroly te, etc. from getting on the resin tube.
• Do not bend or twist the tube during installation and removal.
• Only when the tube is replaced, remove the remaining retainer on the tube or fuel level sensor,
fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly.
• When the tube or fuel level sen sor, fuel filter, and fuel pump assembly is replaced, also replace
the retainer with a new one (green colored retainer).
• To keep the connecting portio n clean and to avoid dam-
age and foreign materials, cover them completely with
plastic bags or something similar.
7. Remove the lock ring using a socket drive handle and Tool (A). CAUTION:
Discard the lock ring if damaged or distorted.
