Parts Requiring Angular TighteningNBEM0001IUse an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following
engine parts:
a) Cylinder head bolts
b) Main bearing cap bolts
c) Connecting rod cap bolts
d) Crankshaft pulley bolt
IDo not use a torque value for final tightening.
IThe torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
IEnsure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with
engine oil.
SEM164F
Liquid Gasket Application ProcedureNBEM00021.Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket
from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean
any oil from these areas.
2.Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant Part No. 999MP-
A7007 or equivalent.)
IBe sure liquid gasket diameter is as specified.
AEM080
3.Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
4.Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5.Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.

TIGHTENING PROCEDURESNBEM0006S01Intake ManifoldNBEM0006S0101ITighten in numerical order shown in the figure.
1. Tighten all bolts and nuts to 5 to 10 N´m (0.5 to 1.0 kg-m, 44
to 86 in-lb).
2. Finally tighten all bolts and nuts to 26 to 31 N´m (2.7 to 3.2
kg-m, 20 to 23 ft-lb).
ITighten all bolts and nuts to the final torque, evenly dividing the
tightening into at least five steps.
SEM473G
Fuel TubeNBEM0006S0102ITighten in numerical order shown in the figure.
1. Tighten all bolts to 9.3 to 10.8 N´m (0.95 to 1.1 kg-m, 83 to 95
in-lb).
2. Then tighten all bolts to 21 to 26 N´m (2.1 to 2.7 kg-m, 15 to
20 ft-lb).
SEM474G
Fuel Pressure RegulatorNBEM0006S0103Tighten fuel pressure regulator to 2.9 to 3.8 N´m (0.3 to 0.39 kg-m,
26.0 to 33.9 in-lb).
ITighten screws evenly several times to have the fuel pres-
sure regulator tightened at the specified torque.
IAlways replace O-ring with new ones.
ILubricate O-ring with new engine oil.
SEM475G
Throttle BodyNBEM0006S0105ITighten in numerical order shown in the figure.
1. Tighten all bolts to 8.8 to 10.8 N´m (0.9 to 1.1 kg-m, 79 to 95
in-lb).
2. Then tighten all bolts to 18 to 21 N´m (1.8 to 2.2 kg-m, 13 to
15 ft-lb).

1. Warm up engine.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF.
3. Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC-39, ªFuel Pressure Releaseº.
4. Remove engine cover and throttle wire.
5. Remove air duct with air cleaner case.
6. Remove harness connectors and harness brackets around
ignition coils.
7. Remove throttle body.
8. Disconnect ignition coil with power transistor harness
connectors, then remove ignition coils.
9. Remove all spark plugs.
IClean area around plug with compressed air before removing
the spark plug.
10. Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
11. Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
12. Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
13. Repeat the measurement on each cylinder as shown above.
IAlways use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.

Standard MinimumDifference limit between
cylinders

14. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark
plug holes.
b. Retest compression.
IIf adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn
or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking pis-
ton.
IIf pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. (Refer
to SDS, EM-76 and EM-79.) If valve or valve seat is dam-
aged excessively, replace them.
IIf compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to
each other:
a) The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
b) Both cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect
and repair as necessary.
15. Install parts in reverse order of removal.
16. Perform ªSelf-diagnosis Procedureº referring to EC-72, ªHow to
Erase DTCº if any DTC appears.

RemovalNBEM0009WARNING:
IPlace vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
IYou should not remove oil pan until exhaust system and
cooling system have completely cooled off.
Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break
out in the fuel line.
IWhen removing front engine mounting nuts, lift up slightly
engine for safety work.
CAUTION:
When removing the aluminum oil pan from engine, first
remove the crankshaft position sensors (POS and REF) from
the assembly.
Be careful not to damage sensor edges and signal plate teeth.
1. Remove front RH and LH wheels.
2. Remove battery.
3. Remove oil level gauge.
4. Remove engine undercover.
5. Remove suspension member stay.
