Engine Oil Pressure
6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the oil pressure switch from engine cyl-
inder block.
2) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
3) Connect the battery ground cable to battery.
4) Start the engine, and then measure the oil pres-
sure.
Oil pressure:
98 kPa (1.0 kg/cm
2, 14 psi) or more at 800 rpm
294 kPa (3.0 kg/cm2, 43 psi) or more at 5,000
rpm
If the oil pressure is out of specification, check oil
pump, oil filter and lubrication line.
System Trouble in General.>
If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON and
oil pressure is in specification, replace the oil pres-
sure switch.
NOTE:
The specified data is based on an engine oil tem-
perature of 80°C (176°F).
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch.

Before moving the engine away from transmission,
check to be sure no work has been overlooked. Do-
ing this is very important in order to facilitate re-in-
stallation and because transmission lowers under
its own weight.

side of transmission to engine.
28) Remove the engine from vehicle.
(1) Slightly raise the engine.
(2) Raise the transmission with garage jack.
(3) Move the engine horizontally until the main-
shaft is withdrawn from clutch cover.
(4) Slowly move the engine away from engine
compartment.NOTE:
Be careful not to damage adjacent parts or body
panels with crank pulley, oil pressure gauge, etc.
29) Remove the front cushion rubbers.

18) Remove the exhaust camshaft cap and cam-
shaft.
NOTE:
Arrange the camshaft caps in order so that they
can be installed in their original positions.
19) Similarly, remove the camshafts (RH) and re-
lated parts.B: INSTALLATION
1) Camshaft installation: Apply engine oil to cylin-
der head at camshaft bearing location before in-
stalling the camshaft. Install the camshaft so that
each valve is close to or in contact with “base circle”
of cam lobe.
NOTE:
When the camshafts are positioned as shown in
the figure, camshafts need to be rotated at a mini-
mum to align with the timing belt during installation.
Camshaft (RH) need not be rotated when set at
position shown in the figure. Intake camshaft (LH):
Rotate 80° clockwise. Exhaust camshaft (LH): Ro-
tate 45° counterclockwise.
2) Camshaft cap and oil flow control solenoid valve
assembly installation:
(1) Apply liquid gasket sparingly to cap mating
surface.
NOTE:
Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Failure to
do so may cause excess packing to come out and
flow toward the oil seal, resulting in oil leaks.
