Charging System
IRectifier Test
NOTE: The diodes are designed to allow current to pass
in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direc
tion. Since the alternator rectifier is made up of eight
diodes (four pairs), each diode must be tested for continuity in both directions with an ohmmeter that has diode
checking capability; a total of 16 checks.
'l. Check for continuity in each direction between- the B and P terminals.- E (ground) and P terminals.
All diodes should have continuity in only one direc-
tion.
2. lf any of the diodes fails, replace the rectifier assem-
bly. (Diodes are not available separatelv.)

Alternator Brush Inspection
2.
Remove the end cover, then take out the brush holder
by removing its two screws.
Measure the length of the brushes with a vernier
calrper.
Alternator Brush Length:
Standard (Newl:10.5 mm 10.41 inl
Service Limit: 1.5 mm {0.06 in)
lf the brushes are less than the service limit, replace
the alternator brush assemblv.

7.
Disconnect ground from the No. 3 terminal. The actu-
ator rod should return. lf it does not return, but the
vent hose and filter are not plugged, the solenoid
valve assembly is defective.
Repeat steps 2 through 5. and disconnect ground
from the No. l terminal. The actuator rod should
return. lf it does not return, but the vent hose and
filter are not plugged, the solenoid valve assembly
is defective.
lf you replace the solenoid valve assembly, be sure
to use new O-rings on each solenoid.
Disconnect power and ground from the 4P connector.
Disconnect the vent hose from the actuator. Connect
a vacuum pump to the actuator vent hose port, and
apply vacuum. The actuator rod should pull in com-pletely. lf not, the vacuum valve is stuck open.
Replace the actuator,

NOTEI
. Use fender covers to avoid damaging painted sur-
faces.
o To avoid damage. unplug the wiring connectors care-
fully while holding the connector portion.
lvlark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
Secure the hood in the open position.

Valve Seals
Replacement (cylinder head removal not required)
The procedure shown below applies when using the in-
car valve spring compressor (Snap-on YA8845 with
YA8845-2A 7/8" auachment). Use approved eye protec-
tion.
1. Turn the crankshaft so that the No. 1 and the No. 4
pistons are at top dead center (TDC).
2. Remove the cylinder head cover.
3. Remove the distributor.
4. Loosen and disconnect the timing belt from the
camshaft pulleys.
5. Remove the camshaft holder bolts. then remove the
camshaft holders, the camshafts and rocker arms.

6. Using the 6 mm bolts supplied with the tool, mount
the two uprights to the cylinder head at the end
camshaft holders. The uprights fit as shown.
7. Insert the cross shaft through the top hole of the
two uprights,

9.
Select the 7/8 in. diameter long compressor attach-
ment, and fasten the attachment to the front hole of
the lever arm with the speed pin supplied.
Position the piston at TDC, and insen an air adaptor
into the spark plug hole. Pump air into the cylinder
to keep the valve closed while compressing the
springs and removing the valve keepers.
10. Put shop towels over the oil passages to prevent
the valve keepers from falling into the cylinder
head.
Position the lever arm under the cross shaft so the
lever is perpendicular to the shaft and the compres-
sor attachment rests on top of the retainer for the
spring being compressed. Use the rear position slot
on the lever as shown,
