Engine Oil Pressure
MECHANICAL
6. Engine Oil Pressure
A: INSPECTION
1) Remove the oil pressure switch from cylinder
block. Pressure Switch.>
2) Connect the oil pressure gauge hose to cylinder
block.
3) Connect the ground cable to the battery.
4) Start the engine, and measure the oil pressure.
OIL PRESSURE (at oil temperature of 80°C
(176°F)):
Standard:
135 kPa (1.4 kgf/cm2, 20 psi) or more (at
600 rpm)
500 kPa (5.1 kgf/cm2, 73 psi) or more (at
5,000 rpm)
CAUTION:
•If the oil pressure is out of specification,
check oil pump, oil filter and lubrication line.
Diagnostics Table.>
•If the oil pressure warning light is turned ON
and oil pressure is in specification, replace the
oil pressure switch. SPECTION, General Diagnostics Table.>
5) After measuring the oil pressure, install the oil
pressure switch. LATION, Oil Pressure Switch.>
Tightening torque:
25 N·m (2.5 kgf-m, 18 ft-lb)

7. Fuel Pressure
A: INSPECTION
WARNING:
Before removing the fuel pressure gauge, re-
lease the fuel pressure.
1) Release the fuel pressure.

2) Disconnect the fuel delivery hose and connect
fuel pressure gauge.
(1) Disconnect the fuel delivery hose using the
ST1.
ST1 42099AE000 CONNECTOR REMOVER
(2) Connect the fuel pressure meter using the
ST2 and ST3.
NOTE:
ST2 is a genuine Subaru part.
ST2 42075AG690 FUEL HOSE
ST3 18471AA000 FUEL PIPE ADAPTER
3) Install the fuse of fuel pump to main fuse box.
4) Start the engine.
5) Measure the fuel pressure after warming up the
engine.
Fuel pressure:
Standard: 338 — 348 kPa (3.4 — 3.5 kgf/cm2,
49 — 50.5 psi)
NOTE:
The fuel pressure gauge registers 10 to 20 kPa (0.1
to 0.2 kgf/cm2, 1 to 3 psi) higher than standard val-
ues during high-altitude operations.

8. Valve Clearance
A: INSPECTION
Inspection and adjustment of valve clearance
should be performed while engine is cold.
1) Set the vehicle on a lift.
2) Remove the collector cover.
3) Disconnect the ground cable from battery.
4) Lift-up the vehicle.
5) Remove the under cover.
6) Lower the vehicle.
7) When inspecting RH side cylinders:
(1) Remove the air intake duct and air cleaner
case. take Duct.> Air Cleaner Case.>
(2) Remove the fuel tank protector (RH).
(3) Disconnect the connector of oil pressure
switch.
(4) Remove the ignition coil. IG(H6DO)-7, REMOVAL, Ignition Coil & Ignitor
Assembly.>
(5) Remove the rocker cover (RH).
8) When inspecting LH side cylinders:
(1) Disconnect the battery cable, and then re-
move the battery and battery carrier.
(2) Disconnect the PCV hose and blow-by hose
from rocker cover (LH).
(3) Remove the fuel pipe protector (LH).
(4) Remove the ignition coil. IG(H6DO)-7, REMOVAL, Ignition Coil & Ignitor
Assembly.>
(5) Remove the rocker cover (LH).
9) Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the cam is
set to position shown in the figure.

10) Measure the clearance of intake valve and ex-
haust valve using thickness gauge (A).
NOTE:
•Measure it within the range of ±30° from speci-
fied position shown in the figure.
•Measure it in low lift cam for intake side.
•Insert a thickness gauge in a direction as hori-
zontal as possible with respect to the valve lifter.
Valve clearance
Intake:
0.20 +0.04 –0.06 mm (0.0079 +0.0016 –0.0024 in)
Exhaust:
0.35±0.05 mm (0.0138±0.0020 in)
•If the measured value is not within specification,
take notes of the value in order to adjust the valve
clearance later on.
11) If necessary, adjust the valve clearance. to ME(H6DO)-28, ADJUSTMENT, Valve Clear-
ance.>
12) Further turn the crank pulley clockwise and
then measure the valve clearances again.
13) After inspection, install the related parts in the
reverse order of removal.
B: ADJUSTMENT
1. INTAKE SIDE
CAUTION:
•Adjustment of valve clearance should be per-
formed while engine is cold.
•Do not wear gloves during removal and in-
stallation of valve lifter.
•Do not use the valve lifter which got high im-
pact due to drop etc.
•When installing the valve lifter, align the anti-
rotation of valve lifter with groove on cylinder
head, and then insert the valve lifter.
1) Measure all the valve clearances.
