INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check timing chain for cracks or serious wear. If a malfunction is
detected, replace it.
INSTALLATION
CAUTION:
●Use a scraper to completely remove all liquid gasket adhering to mounting surface. De-grease and
clean with white gasoline.
●After installation, wipe off any protruding liquid gasket.
1. Install timing chain and its related parts with the following procedure:
●For aligning positions for each sprocket and timing chain, and
installed condition of their related parts, refer to figure.
●Install each sprocket with its mating mark facing engine front
side.
a. Install timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
●Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up (No.1 cylin-
der is at TDC).
●Hook timing chain on front end of camshaft so that it will not
fall off.
b. Install timing chain slack guide and tension guide.
c. Install camshaft sprocket. Refer to EM-35, "
INSTALLATION" .
d. Install chain tensioner. Refer to EM-35, "
INSTALLATION" .
e. Make sure again that mating marks are properly aligned.
f. Temporarily install oil pump drive spacer, crankshaft pulley, and crankshaft pulley mounting bolt so that
crankshaft can be rotated.
g. Rotate crankshaft clockwise several times to make sure it rotates normally. Refer to EM-35, "

2. Install front oil seal to front cover.
●Install it so that identification letters on oil seal will face toward
front side of the engine.
●Using an oil seal drift (commercial service tool), press oil seal
in until it is flush with end surface of mounting position.
●Make sure that oil seal outer circumference is free from dam-
age and burr.
3. Install front cover with the following procedure:
a. Install O-ring to cylinder block.
b. Using a flat-bladed screwdriver, apply a continuous bead of liq-
uid gasket to contact surface between cylinder head gasket
lower surface and cylinder block (2 locations shown in figure).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
c. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to back surface of front
cover (location shown in figure).
CAUTION:
●Do not apply liquid gasket to groove A shown in figure.
●Especially for locations indicated by * mark in figure,
strictly observe application range of liquid gasket.
d. Apply liquid gasket to top surface of front cover lightly and
evenly.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
e. Install O-ring to back surface of front cover.
f. With socket of oil pump inner rotor placed on crankshaft top sur-
face (clearance between front cover top surface and cylinder
head gasket lower surface is secured), move front cover close to
cylinder block. (Right side in figure)
g. Lift front cover at an angle and install it to mounting position so
that front cover will come in contact with both cylinder head gas-
ket lower surface and cylinder block front surface at the same
time. (Right side in figure)
CAUTION:
●During work, be sure not to damage cylinder head gas-
ket.
●When installing, avoid discontinuous bead of liquid gas-
ket caused by allowing it to adhere to an unnecessary area.

2. Ream cylinder head recess diameter for service valve seat.
●Be sure to ream in circles concentric to the valve guide center.
●This will enable valve seat to fit correctly.
3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 130°C (230 to 266°F) by soaking in
heated oil.
4. Provide valve seats cooled well with dry ice. Force fit valve seat
into cylinder head.
CAUTION:
●Avoid directly to touching cold valve seats.
●Cylinder head contains heat. When working, wear protec-
tive equipment to avoid getting burned.
5. Using valve seat cutter set (commercial service tool) or valve
seat grinder, finish the seat to the specified dimensions.
CAUTION:
When using valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, press on the contacting surface all
around the circumference to cut in a single drive. Improper
pressure on with the cutter or cutting many different times
may result in stage valve seat.Oversize [0.5 mm (0.020 in)]:

ening based on visual check alone.
●After tightening nuts, make sure that crankshaft rotates
smoothly.
●Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-84, "CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
15. Install rear oil seal.
●Use an oil seal drift (commercial service tool) to press it in. At
this time, be careful not to cause any scratches or burrs on
circumference of oil seal.
●Press oil seal into rear oil seal retainer until it does not project
from end.
16. Install rear oil seal retainer.

3. Cut cylinder bores.
●When any cylinder needs boring, all other cylinders must also be bored.
●Do not cut too much out of cylinder bore at a time. Cut only 0.05 mm (0.0020 in) or so in diameter
at a time.
4. Hone cylinders to obtain specified piston-to-bore clearance.
5. Measure finished cylinder bore for out-of-round and taper.
●Measurement should be done after cylinder bore cools down.
OUTER DIAMETER OF CRANKSHAFT JOURNAL
●Measure outer diameter of crankshaft journals.
OUTER DIAMETER OF CRANKSHAFT PIN
●Measure outer diameter of crankshaft pin.
OUT-OF-ROUND AND TAPER OF CRANKSHAFT
●Using a micrometer, measure the dimensions at 4 different
points shown in the figure on each journal and pin.
●Out-of-round is indicated by the difference in dimensions
between A and B at 1 and 2.
●Taper is indicated by the difference in dimension between 1 and
2 at A and B.
CRANKSHAFT RUNOUT
●Place a V-block on a precise flat table to support the journals on
the both end of the crankshaft.
●Place a dial gauge straight up on the No. 3 journal.
●While rotating the crankshaft, read the movement of the pointer
on the dial gauge. (Total indicator reading)Standard : 49.940 - 49.964 mm (1.9661 - 1.9671 in) dia.

Trouble Diagnosis of Turbocharger=NJEM0104S0206Preliminary check:
Check that the engine oil level is between MIN and MAX of the
dipstick. (When the engine oil amount is more than MAX, the
oil flows into the inlet duct through the blow-by gas passage,
and the turbocharger is misjudged failure.)
Ask the customer if he/she always runs the vehicle in idle
engine speed to cool the oil down after driving.
Replace the turbocharger assembly when any malfunction is
found after unit inspections specified in the table below.
If no malfunction is found after the unit inspections, judge that
the turbocharger body has no failure. Check the other parts
again.

3. Heat cylinder head to 110 to 120°C (230 to 248°F) by soaking
in heated oil.
4. Sufficiently cool valve seat with dry ice. Force fit valve seat into
cylinder head.
WARNING:
Do not touch cold valve seat with your bare hands.
5. Cut or grind valve seat using suitable tool to the specified
dimensions as shown in SDS (EM-90).
CAUTION:
Use the valve seat cutter properly. Securely gripping the cut-
ter handle with both hands, press the cutter down onto the
entire circumference of the contacting surface and finish cut-
ting at one time. Improper pressing of the cutter or cutting in
several steps may result in staged surface on the valve seat.
6. After cutting, lap valve seat with abrasive compound.
7. Check valve seating condition. Refer to EM-52, “Valve Seats”.
JEM253G
8. Use a depth gauge to measure the distance between the
mounting surface of the cylinder head spring seat and the
valve stem end. If the distance is shorter than specified, repeat
step 5 above to adjust it. If it is longer, replace the valve seat
with a new one.
