ADJUSTMENT
1. REMOVE FRONT WHEEL RH
2. REMOVE FRONT FENDER SPLASH SHIELD FRONT RH
3. REMOVE FRONT FENDER APRON SEAL RH
4. REMOVE ENGINE COVER SUB-ASSY NO.1
5. REMOVE IGNITION COIL ASSY
6. REMOVE SPARK PLUG
7. DISCONNECT VENTILATION HOSE
8. DISCONNECT VENTILATION HOSE NO.2
9. REMOVE CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSY
10. SET NO. 1 CYLINDER TO TDC/COMPRESSION
11. INSPECT VALVE CLEARANCE
HINT: Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold.
(a) Check only the valve indicated on the left.
Valve clearance (Cold):
(b) Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 revolution (360 ) and set the No.4 cylinder to TDC/compression.
(c) Check only the valve indicated on the left.
Valve clearance (Cold):
12. ADJUST VALVE CLEARANCE
NOTICE: Be sure not to turn the crankshaft without the chain tensioner.
(a) Turn the crankshaft clockwise 1 revolution (360 ) and set the No. 1 cylinder to the TDC/compression.
(b) Place paint marks on the timing chain and camshaft timing gear sprocket.
(c) Remove the 2 bolts and chain tensioner.
(d) Remove the No. 2 camshaft.
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the valve lifter.
(e) Remove the camshaft.
Then remove the 5 bearing caps.
(f) Tie the timing chain with a string.
NOTICE: Be careful not to drop anything inside the timing chain cover.
(g) Remove the valve lifters.
(h) Adjust the valve clearance.
Valve clearance:
EXAMPLE: (Intake)
Measured valve clearance = 0.44 mm (0.0173 in.)
0.44 mm (0.0173 in.) - 0.24 mm (0.0094 in.) = 0.20 mm (0.0079 in.)
(Measured - Specification = Excess clearance)
Used shim measurement = 5.30 mm (0.2087 in.)
0.20 mm (0.0079 in.) + 5.30 mm (0.2087 in.) = 5.50 mm (0.2165 in.)
(Excess clearance + Used shim = Ideal new shim)
Closest new shim = 5.50 mm (0.2165 in.) = Shim No. "50"
HINT:
(i) Install the camshaft.
Torque: 30 NVm (301 kgfVcm, 22 ftVlbf) for bearing cap No. 1 9.0 NVm (92 kgfVcm, 80 in.Vlbf) for bearing cap No. 3
(j) Install the No. 2 camshaft.
Torque: 30 NVm (301 kgfVcm, 22 ftVlbf) for bearing cap No. 2 9.0 NVm (92 kgfVcm, 80 in.Vlbf) for bearing cap No. 3
Torque: 54 NVm (551 kgfVcm, 40 ftVlbf)
NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the valve lifter.
(k) Check that the timing chain paint marks are aligned with the camshaft timing sprocket timing mark and the camshaft timing gear timing mark. Also check the alignment of the pulley groove and chain cover timing mark.
(l) Install the chain tensioner.
Torque: 9.0 NVm (92 kgfVcm, 80 in.Vlbf)
NOTICE: When installing the tensioner, set the hook again if the hook releases the plunger.
13. INSTALL CYLINDER HEAD COVER SUB-ASSY
(a) Remove any old packing (FIPG) material
(b) Apply seal packing to 2 locations as shown in the illustration.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826-00080 or equivalent
NOTICE:
(c) Install the cylinder head cover with the 8 bolts and 2 nuts.
Torque: 11 NVm (112 kgfVcm, 8 ftVlbf) for nut 11 NVm (112 kgfVcm, 8 ftVlbf) for bolt A 14 NVm (143 kgfVcm, 10 ftVlbf) for bolt B
14. INSTALL SPARK PLUG Torque: 19 NVm (194 kgfVcm, 14 ftVlbf)
15. INSTALL IGNITION COIL ASSY Torque: 9.0 NVm (92 kgfVcm, 80 in.Vlbf)
16. INSTALL FRONT WHEEL RH
17. CHECK FOR ENGINE COOLANT LEAKS (See page 16-6 )
Shifting the shift lever
Vehicles without a
smart key system:
while the engine switch is in the “on” position, depress the
brake pedal and move the shift lever.
When shifting the shift lever between p and d, make sure that the
vehicle is completely stopped.
