(1) Check that the belts are not damaged and are properly fit
,into the pulley grooves.
Caution1. When installing the V-ribbed belt, check that the
V-ribs are properly fit without misalignment.
2. If creaking or slippage is observed, check the belt
for wear, damage, or breakage on the pulley contact
surface, check the pulley for scoring, in addition to
sag inspection.3. Check that the V-ribbed belt is not resting on the
tension pulley or idler pulley flange.
(2) Apply 100 N (22
Ibs.) force to the belt back midway
between the pulleys as shown in the illustration, measure
the deflection or by using a belt-tension gauge, check the
belt’s tension.

ENGINE - Service Adjustment Procedures11-15COMPRESSION PRESSURE CHECKMllFFAK
(1) Before checking compression, ensure that engine oil, the
starter motor, and battery are all in normal operating
condition.
(2) Start the engine and wait until engine coolant temperature
has risen to 80
- 95°C (176 - 205°F).
(3) Remove the all spark plugs.
(4) Crank the engine to remove any foreign objects in the
cylinders.
CautionCover 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.(5) Set the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.
(6) Holding the throttle valve full open, crank the engine and
measure compression.
Limit:
min. 980 kPa (139 psi)
min. 810 kPa (115 psi)(7) Perform (5) and (6) above for all the cylinders, ensuring that
compression pressure differential for each of the cylinders
is within the specified limit.
Limit: max.
100 kPa (14 psi)
(8) 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 (5)
- (7).@If the addition of oil brings compression up, it is possible
that there is
harmf,uI friction between the piston ring
and cylinder wall.@If not compression up, valve seizure, poor valve seating,
or a compression leak from the gasket are all possible.

MANIFOLD VACUUM INSPECTION
MllFNAR
(1) The vehicle should be repaired as follows before the
inspection.
lEngine coolant temperature: 80 - 95°C (176 - 205°F)‘dl Lights, electric cooling fan, and accessories: OFF
l Transaxle: Neutral
(P for A/T)l Steering wheel: neutral position
(2) Connect a tachometer. (Refer to P.l l-l 3.)
(3) Disconnect the vacuum hose from the nipple for taking off
fuel pressure regulator vacuum from the air intake plenum.
(4) Conncet a three-way joint between the removed vacuum
hose and the nipple and connect a vacuum gauge to the
joint.
(5) Start the engine and check that idle speed is within the
standard value range.
(6) Check the manifold vacuum.
Standard value:
*
Approx. 520 mmHg (20 in.Hg)
Approx. 495 mmHg (19 in.Hg)LASH ADJUSTERS CHECK
Ml 1 FEAFIf 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 where
the rocker arm contacts the lash adjuster at the very top. If
the adjuster is normal, the part pressed will feel very hard.
d
(3) If it easily moves all the way downward when pressed,
there is a malfunction of the lash adjuster and it should be
replaced with a new one.
(4) If it feels spongy or elastic, probably oil with air mixed in it
has entered the lash adjuster. Check whether the amount
of oil is too much or is not enough and the cause of air
becoming mixed into the oil is a damaged oil screen or oil
screen gasket.
(5) After repairing the cause of the air leak, warm up the engine
and then drive the vehicle at low speed for a while. Stop the
engine and leave it off for a few minutes; then restart the
engine and drive at low speed. Repeat this procedure
several times during the course of about one hour so as to
remove the air from the oil.

use a chain block or similar arrangement to suspend the
engine assembly (to the extent that there is no looseness of
the chain).

12. REMOVAL OF TIMING BELT(1) Align the timing marks.
(2) Make a mark on the back of the timing belt indicating
the direction of rotation so it may be reassembled in the
same direction if it is to be reused.
(3) Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pulley to
remove the timing belt.
Caution
Water or oil on the belt shorten its life drastically, sothe removed timing belt, sprocket, and tensioner
must be free from oil and water. These parts should
not be washed. Replace parts if seriously contamin-
ated.
If there is oil or water on each part check. the front

NOTESince the camshaft sprockets turn easily, secure them
with box wrenches to install the timing belt.
Caution1. Be careful, the camshaft is turned by the reac-
tion of valve spring.
2.If the timing belt is reused, install it so that thearrow marks made at removal are in the direc-
tion of rotation.
(3) Turn the tensioner pulley so that its pin holes are
located above the center bolt. Then, press the tensioner
pulley against the timing belt and, at the same time,
temporarily tighten the center bolt.
(4) Check that the timing marks on all sprockets are aligned
properly.
(5) Remove the four clips.
. ADJUSTMENT OF TIMING BELT TENSION
(1) Rotate the crankshaft
114 turn counterclockwise, then
rotate it clockwise until the timing marks are aligned.
(2) Loosen the center bolt on the tensioner pulley. Using
the special tool and torque wrench, apply tensioning
torque to the timing belt and, at the same time, tighten
the center bolt to specification.
Specified torque:
10 Nm (7 ftlbs.)
[Timing belt tensioning torque]
Caution
When tightening the center bolt, make sure that thetensioner pulley is not rotated together.
(3) Remove the set pin from the auto tensioner. At this
time, make sure that the set pin can be easily removed.
(4) Rotate the crankshaft two turns clockwise and leave it
as is for five minutes or more. Then, check again that
the set pin can be easily removed from, and installed to,
the auto tensioner.
NOTEEven if the set pin cannot be easily inserted, the auto
tensioner is normal if its rod protrusion is within
specification.
Standard value (A): 3.8
- 4.5 mm (.I49 - .I77 in.)
If the protrusion is out of specification, repeat steps (1)
to (4).
(5) Check again that timing marks on all sprockets are
aligned properly.
