PRECAUTIONS
• When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is specified,
do exactly as specified.
• Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
• Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction and blockage.
• Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust. Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
• Release air within route after draining coolant.
• Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel li nes with turning ignition switch ON (with engine stopped).
Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
• After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningINFOID:0000000009460520
• Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap nuts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angular
tightening)
• Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
• The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
• Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000009460521
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET
• After removing the bolts and nuts, separate the mating surface and remove the liquid gasket using Tool (A).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
• In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap (1) the cutter where the liquid gasket is applied. Use a
plastic hammer to slide (2) the cutter by tapping on the side.
CAUTION:
Do not damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Thoroughly clean the gasket application surface and the mating surface and remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign
materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket tube to the tube presser. Use Genuine Silicone RTV Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-21, "Recommended Chemi cal Products and Sealants"
.

4. Apply the liquid gasket using suitable tool without breaks to the
specified location.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside the holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.
• Within five minutes of the liquid gasket application, install the
mating component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill the engine with the specified oil and coolant. Refer to MA-11,
"FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
If there are more specific instruct ions in the procedures contained in this manual concerning liquid
gasket application, observe them.

CHECKING
• Perform inspection as follows after removal, installation or replace-
ment of camshaft or valve related parts, or if there is unusual
engine conditions regarding valve clearance.
Check valve clearance while engine is cold and not running.
1. Remove the intake manifold collector. Refer to EM-146,
"Removal and Installation".
2. Remove the ignition coils and spark plugs. Refer to EM-132,
"Removal and Installation".
3. Remove the rocker covers. Refer to EM-168, "Removal and
Installation LH" (LH), EM-169, "Removal and Installation RH"
(RH).
4. Set No.1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke. • Align pointer with TDC mark on crankshaft pulley.
• Check that the valve lifters on No.1 cylinder are loose and valve lifters on No.4 are tight. If not, turn the crankshaft one full
revolution (360 °) and align as shown.SEM713A

COMPRESSION PRESSURE
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
On-Vehicle ServiceINFOID:0000000009460536
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.
