headlights, heater fan, rear defroster, radiator fan,
air conditioning, etc. OFF)
Idle speed [No load and gears in neutral]:
700
±100 rpm
13) Check the idle speed when loaded. (Turn the
air conditioning switch to “ON” and operate the
compressor for at least 1 minute before measure-
ment.)
Idle speed [A/C “ON”, no load and gears in neu-
tral]:
A/C Refrigerant pressure (LOW)

±100 rpm
AT: 825
±100 rpm
NOTE:
As idle speed is controlled by the automatic adjust-
ment type, it can not be adjusted manually. If the
idle speed is out of specifications, refer to General

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.

Engine Assembly
26) Support the transmission with a garage jack.
NOTE:
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.
27) Separation of the engine and transmission.
(1) Remove the starter.
(2) Install the ST to torque converter clutch
case. (AT model)
ST 498277200 STOPPER SET
(3) Remove the bolts which hold the right upper
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shaft is withdrawn from clutch cover.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.
B: INSTALLATION
1) Install the clutch release fork and bearing onto
transmission. (MT model)
(1) Remove the release bearing from clutch
cover with flat type screw driver.
(2) Install the release bearing on transmission.
(3) Install the release fork into release bearing
tab.

Cylinder Head Assembly
1) Installation of valve spring and valve.
(1) Coat the stem of each valve with engine oil
and insert the valve into valve guide.
NOTE:
When inserting the valve into valve guide, use spe-
cial care not to damage the oil seal lip.
(2) Set the cylinder head on ST1.
(3) Install the valve spring and retainer using
ST2.
ST1 498267600 CYLINDER HEAD TABLE
ST2 499718000 VALVE SPRING REMOVER
NOTE:
Be sure to install the valve springs with their close-
coiled end facing the seat on cylinder head.
(4) Compress the valve spring, and then fit the
valve spring retainer key.
(5) After installing, tap the valve spring retainers
lightly with wooden hammer for better seating.
2) Apply oil to the surface of the valve lifter.
3) Install the valve lifter.
E: INSPECTION
1. CYLINDER HEAD
1) Make sure that no crack or other damage exists.
In addition to visual inspection, inspect the impor-
tant areas by means of red check.
2) Measure the warping of the cylinder head sur-
face that mates with crankcase by using a straight
edge (A) and thickness gauge (B).
If the warping exceeds 0.05 mm (0.0020 in), re-
grind the surface with a surface grinder.
Warping limit:
0.05 mm (0.0020 in)
Grinding limit:
0.3 mm (0.012 in)
Standard height of cylinder head:
127.5 mm (5.02 in)NOTE:
Uneven torque for the cylinder head nuts can
cause warping. When reassembling, pay special
attention to the torque so as to tighten evenly.
2. VALVE SEAT
Inspect the intake and exhaust valve seats, and
then correct the contact surfaces with valve seat
cutter if they are defective or when valve guides are
replaced.
