VALVE CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
1. Install  2.80  mm  valve  adjuster  (shim)  first  when
reassembling the engine.
Thickness mark faces down.
2. Measure  the  valve  clearance  after  installing  cam
carrier assy with camshafts.
3. Change  the  adjuster  using  a  special  tool  when  the
clearance is out of tolerance.
Valve Clearance Adjusting Tool: 5-8840-2590-0
VALVE CLEARANCE (When cold condition)
Inlet 0.15 ± 0.05 mm
Exh 0.25 ± 0.05 mm
COMPRESSION PRESSURE
MEASUREMENT
1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the coolant
temperature reaches 70 – 80°C (158 – 176°F).
2. Remove the following parts.
Glow plugs
Fuel cut solenoid connector
QOS  (Quick-On  Start  System)  fuse  in  the  fuse
box.
3. Set the adapter and compression gauge to the No.
1 cylinder glow plug hole.
Compression Gauge 
(with Adapter): 5-8840-2008-0 
4. Turn the engine over with the starter motor and take
the compression gauge reading.
Compression Pressure at 200 rpm
Standard: 3038 kPa (31 kg/cm
2/441 psi)
Limit: 2157 kPa (22 kg/cm
2/313 psi)
5. Repeat  the  procedure  (Steps  3  and  4)  for  the
remaining cylinders.
QUICK-ON START 4 SYSTEM
Quick-On Start System Inspection Procedure
1. Disconnect  the  ECT-sensor  connection  around  the
thermostat outlet pipe.
2. Turn the starter switch to the “ON” position.
If  the  Quick-On  Start  4  System  is  operating
properly,  the  glow  relay  will  make  a  clicking  sound
within  seven  seconds  after  the  starter  switch  is
turned on.
3. Measure  the  glow  plug  terminal  voltage  with  a
circuit  tester  immediately  after  turning  the  starter
switch to the “ON” position.
Glow Plug Terminal Voltage: 8 – 9V
NOTE: Electrical power to the quick-on start system will
be  cut  after  the  starter  has  remained  in  the  “ON”
position for twenty seconds.
Turn  the  starter  switch  to  the  “OFF”  position  and  back
to the “ON” position.
This will reset the Quick-On Start 4 System.

NOTE: 
During  disassembly,  be  sure  that  the  valve  train
components  are  kept  together  and  identified  so  that
they can be re-installed in their original locations.
Before  removing  the  cylinder  head  from  the  engine
and  before  disassembling  the  valve  mechanism,  do
a compression test and note the results.

on any gasket sealing surface.
INSPECTION AND REPAIR
Make  the  necessary  adjustments,  repairs,  and  part
replacements  if  excessive  wear  or  damage  is
discovered during inspection.
Cylinder  head  gasket  and  mating  surfaces  for
leaks,  corrosion  and  blow-by.  If  the  gasket  has
failed, determine the cause;
– Improper installation
– Loosen or warped cylinder head
– Insufficient torque on head bolts
– Warped cylinder block surface

STARTER
The starting system employs a magnetic type reduction
starter in which the motor shaft is also used as a pinion
shaft. When the starter switch is turned on, the contacts
of  the  magnetic  switch  are  closed,  and  the  armature
rotates. At the same time, the plunger is activated, and
the pinion is pushed forward by the shift lever to mesh
with ring gear.Then,  the  ring  gear  runs  to  start  the  engine.  When  the
engine  starts  and  the  starter  switch  is  turned  off,  the
plunger returns, the pinion is disengaged from the ring
gear, and the armature stops rotation. When the engine
speed is higher than the pinion, the pinion idles, so that
the armature is not driven.
