ENGINE <2.0L DOHC Engine>
SERVICE ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES pi
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURENOSFFAH(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in good condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to
85-95°C (185-205°F).
(3) Stop the engine and pull the spark plug cables.
(4) Remove the spark plugs.
(5) Crank the engine
to. remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
Caution
Cover the spark plug holes with shop towel, etc., in
order to keep expelled foreign objects from flying out,and keep away from the holes. When measuring
compression with water, oil, or fuel having entered the
cylinder through a crack, etc., these will come flying
out of the spark plug hole hot and fast, so be sure to
take the proper precautions.(6) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(7) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
<Non-Turbo>: Min. 960 kPa (137 psi)
[250-400 rpm]6<Turbo>: Min. 800
kPa (114 psi) [250-400 rpml-(8) Perform 6 and 7 above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Differential limit: Max. 100 kPa (14 psi)(9) If a cylinder’s compression or pressure differential exceeds
the limit, add a small amount of oil through the spark plug
hole and repeat steps (6)-(8).
@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possiblethat there is poor contact between the piston ring and
cylinder wall.
@ If not compression does not come up, valve seizure,
poor valve seating, or a compression leak from the
gasket are all possible.‘I

LASH ADJUSTERS CHECKNOBFEABalIf an abnormal noise is heard from the lash adjusters check as
follows.
(1) After warming up the engine, stop it.
(2) While installed to the cylinder head, press the part of rockerarm that contacts the lash adjuster. The part pressed will
feel very hard if the lash adjuster condition is normal.
(3) If, when pressed, it easily descends all the way downward,
replace the lash adjuster.
(4) If there is a spongy feeling when pressed, air is probably
mixed in, and so the cause should be investigated. The
cause is probably an insufficient amount of engine oil, or
damage to the oil screen and/or screen gasket.
(5) After finding the cause and taking the appropriate step
(adding oil or repair), warm up the engine and drive at low
speed for a short time. Then, after stopping the engine andwaiting a few minutes, drive again at low speed. Repeat
this procedure a few times to bleed out the air from the oil.
