Check plug gap of each spark plug.

If out of standard, adjust or replace spark plug.

Use a wire brush for cleaning, if necessary.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL (FOR RUSSIA)
Use standard type spark plug for normal condition.
Hot type spark plug is suitable when fouling occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions such as:

Frequent engine starts

Low ambient temperatures
Cold type spark plug is suitable when spark plug knock occurs with standard type spark plug under conditions
such as:

Extended highway driving

Frequent high engine revolution
CAUTION:

Do not drop or shock spark plug.

Do not use wire brush for cleaning.

If plug tip is covered with carbon, spark plug cleaner may
be used.

Checking and adjusting plug gap is not required between
change intervals.

2. Install fuel injector to fuel tube with the following procedure:
a. Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector.

Insert clip so that lug “A” of fuel injector matches notch “A” of
clip.
CAUTION:

Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.

Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If
interference occurs, replace O-ring.
b. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.

Insert it while matching it to the axial center.

Insert fuel injector so that lug “B” of fuel tube matches notch
“B” of clip.

Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fix-
ing groove on clip.
c. Make sure that installation is complete by making sure that fuel
injector does not rotate or come off.
3. From the engine rear side, set fuel tube and fuel injector assembly at its position for installation on intake
manifold.
CAUTION:
For installation, be careful not to interfere with fuel injector nozzle.
4. Set fuel tube protector onto fuel tube.
5. Tighten mounting bolts with the following procedure.

Tighten bolts evenly in two steps in numerical order as shown
in the figure.
6. Connect sub-harness for fuel injector.
7. Note the following, and connect quick connectors at engine side and vehicle side to install fuel feed hose.
NOTE:
There is quick connector for the engine side and for the vehicle side, and they have different shapes. But
connection is same procedure. The following procedure shows the engine side.
a. Check the connection for foreign material and damage.
b. Align center to insert quick connector straightly into fuel tube.

Insert fuel tube into quick connector until the top spool on fuel
tube is inserted completely and the second level spool is posi-
tioned slightly below quick connector bottom end.
CAUTION:

Hold “A” position in the figure when inserting fuel tube
into quick connector.

Carefully align center to avoid inclined insertion to pre-
vent damage to O-ring inside quick connector.

Insert until you hear a “click” sound and actually feel the engagement.

To avoid misidentification of engagement with a similar sound, be sure to perform the next
step.
c. Before clamping fuel feed hose with hose clamps, pull quick connector hard by hand holding “A” position.
Make sure it is completely engaged (connected) so that it does not come out from fuel tube.
d. Install quick connector cap to quick connector connection. (On
both the engine side and the vehicle side)

Install so that the arrow mark on the side faces up.
CAUTION:

Make sure that quick connector and fuel tube are
securely fit into quick connector cap installation groove.

If quick connector cap cannot be installed smoothly,
quick connector may have not been installed correctly.
Check connection again.
NOTE:
There is quick connector cap for the engine side and for the
vehicle side, and they have different shapes. The figure shows engine side as an example.
8. Install fuel feed hose to hose clamp.
9. Install in the reverse order of removal after this step.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Check on Fuel Leaks
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then make sure
there are no fuel leaks at connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on invisible points.
2. Start engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again there are no fuel leaks at connections.
CAUTION:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopped as engine becomes extremely hot.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Timing Chain
Check timing chain for cracks and any excessive wear at the roller
links of timing chain. Replace timing chain if necessary.
Balancer Unit Mounting Bolt Outer Diameter

Measure the outer diameters (“d1”, “d2”) at two positions as
shown in the figure.

If reduction appears in “A” range, regard it as “d2 ”.

If it exceeds the limit (large difference in dimensions), replace it
with a new one.

timing chain and that on the corresponding sprocket, with the com-
ponents installed.
1. Make sure that crankshaft key points straight up.
2. Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in figure
with the following procedure, and install balancer unit.
CAUTION:
If mounting bolts are re-used, check their outer diameter
before installation. Refer to EM-50, "
INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Turn all bolts 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
d. Completely loosen.
CAUTION:
In this step, loosen bolts in reverse order as shown in the
figure.
e. Tighten all bolts.
f. Turn them another 90 degrees clockwise (angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Check tightening angle with an angle wrench (special service tool) or a protractor. Do not make
judgment by visual check alone.

TIMING CHAIN

3. Install crankshaft sprocket and balancer unit timing chain.

Make sure that crankshaft sprocket is positioned with mating
marks on cylinder block and crankshaft sprocket meeting at
the top.

Install it by aligning mating marks on each sprocket and bal-
ancer unit timing chain.
4. Install balancer unit timing chain tensioner.
NOTE:
Chain guide and tensioner move freely with the staking pin as
the axle. Therefore, bolt hole position of the three points could
be changed during removal. If points change, temporarily fix the
two mounting bolts on chain guide, and move tensioner to mate
the bolt holes.

Be careful not to let mating marks of each sprocket and timing
chain slip.

After installation, make sure the mating marks have not
slipped, then remove stopper pin and release tensioner
sleeve.
5. Install timing chain and related parts.

Install by aligning mating marks on each sprocket and timing
chain.

Before and after installing chain tensioner, check again to
make sure that mating marks have not slipped.

After installing chain tensioner, remove stopper pin, and make
sure that tensioner moves freely.
CAUTION:

For the following note, after the mating marks are
aligned, keep them aligned by holding them with a
hand.

To avoid skipped teeth, do not rotate crankshaft and
camshaft until front cover is installed.
NOTE:
Before installing chain tensioner, it is possible to change the
position of mating mark on timing chain for that on each
sprocket for alignment.
6. Install front oil seal to front cover. Refer to EM-67, "
Removal and Installation of Front Oil Seal" .
7. Install front cover with the following procedure:
a. Install O-rings to cylinder head and cylinder block.
