PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATIONS [QG16]
Precautions
Coolant Drain
Drain the coolant when it completely cooled down.
Fuel Line Removal

Work in location without any fire.
Release the fuel pressure prior to work.
After removal, place a cap at the fuel lines to prevent fuel leakage.
Removal and Disassembly

Work safely with correct special tools where it is instructed.
Be extra careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
Block with tapes if necessary to prevent foreign particles entering into the engine.
Arrange properly in order all the removed components to facilitate inspection and assembly.
In principle, loosen the bolts and nuts from the outer edge diagonally. Follow the instructions when
special instructions are given.
Inspection, Adjustment and Replacement

Adjust or replace after through component inspection according to inspection methods. The same ap-
plies for new components. Replace if necessary.
Assembly and Installation

Always use torque wrench for bolt and nut tightening.
In principle, tighten the bolts and nuts 2 to 3 times little by little from the center diagonally. Follow the
instructions when special instructions are given.
Replace the gasket, packing, oil seal, and O-ring with new.
Clean and air-blow all components. Be careful not to clog the oil and coolant passages.
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces and clean all dusts and foreign particles. Properly apply
engine oil on the mating surfaces and then assemble.
When coolant is drained, bleed the air from the coolant passages.
After the assembly has completed, run the engine and check for any coolant, oils and exhaust gas
leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular Tightening

Use angle wrench (SST: KV10112100) for the following components.
- Cylinder head bolt
- Connecting rod cap nut
The designated tightening torque for the components is not the final tightening value. It is the torque
needed before the angular tightening.
Check for any foreign particles at the nut or bolt and mating surfaces. Apply engine oil before tightening.

3. Install engine rpm tester.
4. Disconnect ignition coil with power transistor harness
connectors, then remove ignition coils.
5. Remove all spark plugs.

A
Clean area around plug with compressed air before remov-
ing the spark plug.
6. Attach a compression tester (A: Commercial tool) to No.1 cylinder.
7. Turn ignition switch to “START” position.
8. Crank engine and record highest gauge indications. Repeat
the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.

SEM221H Standard Minimum Difference limit between cylinders
1,324 (13.24, 13.5, 1,128 (11.28, 11.5, 98 (0.98, 1.0, 14)/350
192)/350 164)/350
Always use a fully-charged battery to obtain the specified

engine speed.
If pressure is below the minimum value, check the valve
clearance and components around combustion chamber
(valves, valve seats, piston, piston rings, cylinder bore, cyl-
inder head, and cylinder head gasket) and retest
compression.
If compression in one or more cylinders is low, pour a small
amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark plug holes
and retest compression.
a) If adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn
or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking
piston.
b) If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. If
valve or valve seat is damaged excessively, replace them.
If compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to
each other, the cylinder head gasket may be leaking or both
cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect and
repair as necessary.
9. Install removed parts in the reverse order of removal.
EM-14
DRIVE BELTS [QG16]
Checking
1. Inspect for cracks, fraying, wear or oil adhesion. If necessary,

replace with a new one.
Before inspecting the engine, make sure the engine has
cooled down; wait approximately 30 minutes after the en-
gine has been stopped.
When replacing belt, make sure the new belt has the same
number of ribs as the old one.
2. Inspect drive belt deflections by pushing on the belt midway
between pulleys. Adjust if belt deflections exceed the limit.
CAUTION:
When measuring belt tension immediately after belt is installed, first set the tension to the
standard. Then, rotate crankshaft for more than two turns in order to eliminate variance in belt
deflection between the pulleys. Re-measure and adjust the tension to the standard.

20. Loosen crankshaft pulley bolt.

21. Remove crankshaft pulley using crankshaft pulley puller
(commercial service tool).
CAUTION:
Hook tab onto back of crankshaft pulley only.
Do not remove crankshaft pulley bolt. Fully loosen, and
then use it as support point.
22. Set intake camshaft sprocket to most advanced position. (With

intake valve timing control)
CAUTION:
Removal/installation of intake camshaft sprocket is re-
quired to maintain most advanced position because of the
following reasons. Therefore, follow procedure exactly.
CAUTION:
This adopts the structure where sprocket and vane
(where camshaft is joined) rotate, and they get dislo-
cated within the specified angle range.
With engine stopped, vane is in most retarded angle
position. It does not rotate because it is locked in
sprocket by internal lock pin.
If camshaft sprocket bolt is rotated under above condition,
lateral load (shearing force) is applied to lock pin. It will
damage to lock pin and cause operation malfunction.
Set intake camshaft sprocket to most advanced posi-
tion as follows.
Do not remove chain tensioner before performing this step.
NOTE:
“Rotating direction” means direction viewed from en-
gine front side.
EM-24
TIMING CHAIN [QG16]
Removal (Cont’d)
a) Using a wrench, hold hexagonal part so that intake cam-
shaft does not move.
b) Using an air gun, apply air pressure to intake valve timing

control (CVTC) solenoid valve advanced side oil passage
on top surface of No. 1 camshaft bracket.
Air pressure:
300 kPa (3.00 bar, 3.06 kg/cm 2 , 43.5 psi) or more
Keep applying air pressure until step d is complete.
Air pressure is used to release lock pin.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage oil passage from interference
with air gun tip.
Thoroughly wipe off oil before applying air pressure. When
applying air pressure, cover area around air gun using a
rag. Wear protective glasses if necessary.
c) Slowly turn intake camshaft in direction A (counterclockwise:

intake manifold side).
Perform while applying air pressure.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to dislocate camshaft retaining wrench.
d) During above step, operating click (a sound indicating
in ternal lock pin is disengaged) is heard from inside of
intake camshaft sprocket. After hearing it, slowly turn
intake camshaft in direction B (clockwise: exhaust manifold
side), and set to most advanced position.
Perform while applying air pressure.
When vane part side (where camshaft is joined) rotates
solely against sprocket, lock pin is disengaged even if
operating click is not heard.
If lock pin is not disengaged, apply vibration by jiggling
the camshaft with a wrench.
If lock pin is still fit-in even after the work above is
performed, tap front end of camshaft on intake side using
plastic hammer.
EM-25
[QG16] TIMING CHAIN
Removal (Cont’d)
e) The following status indicates that most advanced position
is achieved:
Vane (where camshaft is joined) starts rotating on its own,
then sprocket also starts rotating when camshaft is turned.
When above status is achieved, this step is complete.
Most advanced position is confirmed when stopper pin
groove and lock pin breathing groove are aligned as
illustrated.
f) Stop air, insert stopper pin [approximately 3 mm (0.12 in)

dia, length of inserted part is approximately 15 mm (0.59
in)] into pin hole on camshaft sprocket to fix most advanced
position.
In the figure, an Allen wrench [a/f 2.5 mm (0.098 in),
short part: approximately 20 mm (0.79 in), long part: ap-
proximately 50 mm (1.97 in)] is used for stopper pin as
an example.
CAUTION:
Load (spring reaction force) is not applied to stopper
pin. Stopper pin is easily detached. Therefore, secure
it with vinyl tape to prevent detachment.
23. Remove chain tensioner as follows.
a) Press plate down, and release stopper tab.
b) Insert plunger into chain tensioner body until it stops.
c) Secure plate by passing stopper pin (such as a hard wire)
through plate hole and body hole. (Plunger is also secured.)
d) Loosen chain tensioner bolts and remove chain tensioner.
24. While holding hexagonal part of camshaft with a wrench, loosen

mounting bolts and remove intake and exhaust camshaft
sprockets.
CAUTION:
Be careful that tool does not interfere with other compo-
nents around cylinder head.
Avoid securing camshaft at other than hexagonal part.
When handling intake camshaft sprocket, taking care of the

following.
CAUTION:
Secure stopper pin with vinyl tape to prevent detachment.

protrusion with the groove of connecting rod and connect-
ing rod cap to install.
Check the oil holes on connecting rod and those on the
corresponding bearing are aligned.
8. Install the piston and connecting rod assembly to crankshaft.
Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod
to be installed onto the bottom dead center.
Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston and
crankshaft pin.
Match the cylinder position with the cylinder No. on con-
necting rod to install.
Using a piston ring compressor, install piston with the front
mark on the piston crown facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft pin, resulting
from an interference of the connecting rod big end.
9. Install connecting rod caps.

Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and nut seating surfaces.
Tighten connecting rod cap nuts in the following procedure:
Tighten to 13.7 to 15.7 N·m (1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10.1 to
11.5 ft-lb).
Turn nuts to 35 to 40 degrees (Target: 35 degrees)
clockwise with angle wrench (SST: KV10112100).
CAUTION:
Use only the angle wrench (SST: KV10112100) when tight-
ening the nuts in angle. Never determine the tightening
value with only eyes.

10. Measure connecting rod side clearance.
Connecting rod side clearance:
Standard: 0.200 - 0.470 mm (0.0079 - 0.0185 in)
Limit: 0.5 mm (0.020 in)
If beyond the limit, replace connecting rod and/or crankshaft.
11. Install rear oil seal.

Use an oil seal drift (Commercial tool) to press it in. At this
time, be careful not to cause any scratches or burrs on
circumference of oil seal.
Press oil seal into rear oil seal retainer until it does not
project from end.
12. Install rear oil seal retainer.

Apply continuous bead of liquid gasket to parts shown in
figure.
Install rear oil seal retainer by aligning it with dowel pins
on cylinder block.
KNOCK SENSOR
Install knock sensor with connector facing lower right by 45
degrees as shown in the figure.
CAUTION:
If any impact by dropping is applied to knock sensor,
replace it with new one.
Make sure that there is no foreign material on the cylinder
block mating surface and the back surface of knock sensor.
Do not tighten the mounting bolts while holding the
connector.
Make sure that knock sensor does not interfere with
other parts.
