3. Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters using
suitable tool.
4. Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.
Valve lifter thickness calculation:
Thickness of replacement valve lifter = t1+ (C1 - C2)
t1 = Thickness of removed valve lifter
C1 = Measured valve clearance
C2= Standard valve clearance:
Thickness of a new valve lifter can be identified by stamp
marks on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).
Stamp mark N788 indicates 7.88 mm (0.3102 in) in thickness.
Available thickness of valve lifter: 25 sizes with range 7.88 to
8.36 mm (0.3102 to 0.3291 in) in steps of 0.02 mm (0.0008 in)
(when manufactured at factory). Refer to EM-101, "
Available
Valve Lifter" .
5. Install the selected valve lifter.
6. Install camshaft.
7. Manually turn crankshaft pulley a few turns.
8. Make sure valve clearances for cold engine are within specifications by referring to the specified values.
9. After completing the repair, check valve clearances again with the specifications for warmed engine. Make
sure the values are within specifications.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE
1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then stop engine.
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC-46, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
a. Remove fuel pump fuse, and start engine.
Refer to PG-78, "
FUSE AND RELAY BOX" or fuel pump fuse location.
Let fuel pump fuse removed until the end of step 7.
b. After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
3. Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder.
Refer to EM-27, "
REMOVAL" .
4. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
5. Install compression tester with Tool into spark plug hole.
6. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge
pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cyl-
inder.
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2 , psi) /rpm
CAUTION:
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain specified engine speed.
If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.
If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, the piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check
the piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, the valves may be
malfunctioning. Check the valves for damage. Replace the valve or valve seat accordingly.
If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, the gaskets may be leaking, or valve in adjacent cylinders may
be damaged. Inspect and repair as required.
7. After inspection is complete, install removed parts. Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
8. Start engine, and confirm that engine runs smoothly.
9. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-71, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" . Tool number : EG15050500 (J-45402)
