If there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. Start the engine and allow to warm up to operating temperature (about five minutes).
Stop the engine.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connector(A) and the spark plug cables(B).
3. Remove the four spark plugs using a 16mm spark plug wrench.
4 Check the cylinder compression pressure.
. (1) Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
(2) Fully open throttle.
(3) While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of 250rpm or more.
Compression pressure:
1,422kPa (14.5kg/cm², 206psi) / 370rpm
Minimum pressure:
1,275kPa (13.0kg/cm², 185psi)
Difference between each cylinder :
98kPa (1.0kg/cm², 14psi) or less
(5 If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through the spark plug hole and repeat step (1) through (3) fo
) A. If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn or damaged.
B. If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating is improper, or there may be leakage past the gasket.
Warm up the engine (80 ~ 95°C [176 ~ 203°F]), and then inspect and adjust the valve clearance with the cylinder head installed on the cylinder block.
2. Remove the cylinder head cover (A). (Refer to Cylinder head in this group)
3 Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
. (1) Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "T" of the lower timing belt cover.
(2) Check that timing mark of the camshaft sprocket (A) is aligned with the timing mark of the cylinder head.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360°).
4. Inspection the valve clearance.
(1) Check only the valve indicator as shown. [No. 1 cylinder: TDC/Compression]. Measure the valve clearance.

(2) Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance between the adjusting screw and the valve stem end.
Valve clearance
Engine coolant temperature : 20°C[68°F]
Intake: 0.15 ~ 21mm (0.0059 ~ 0.0083in)
Exhaust: 0.19 ~ 0.25mm (0.0075 ~ 0.0098in)
(3) Using the adjusting screw, adjust valve clearance by the specification value after loosen lock nut.
Tightening torque:
7.8 ~ 9.8N.m (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft)
(5) Rotete crankshaft 25 teeth (crank 1 revolution + 2 teeth, crank angle about 360° + 31.3°) to the clock wise.
(6) Check only valves indicator as shown. Measure the valve clearance. (Refer to procedure step (1))
