Inspection
Compression Pressure
If the there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor
fuel economy, measure the compression pressure.
|
1. |
Warm up and stop engine.
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
|
2. |
Remove ignition coils.
|
3. |
Remove spark plugs.
Using a 16mm plug wrench, remove the 4 spark plugs.
|
4. |
Check cylinder compression pressure
A. |
Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
|
B. |
Fully open the throttle.
|
C. |
while cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine
speed of 250 rpm or more.
|
|
D. |
Repeat steps (a) through (c) for each cylinder.
This measurement must be done in as short a time
as possible.
|
Compression pressure
:
1421.96kPa (14.5kgf/cm², 206.24psi)
Minimum pressure :
1274.86kPa (13.0kgf/cm², 184.90psi)
Difference between each
cylinder :
98.07kPa (1.0kgf/cm², 14.22psi) or less
|
|
E. |
If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is
low, pour a small amount of engine oil into the cylinder through
the spark plug hole and repeat steps (a) through (c) for cylinders
with low compression.
|
• |
If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely
that the piston rings and/or cylinder bore are worn
or damaged.
|
• |
If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking
or seating is improper, or there may be leakage past
the gasket.
|
|
|
5. |
Reinstall spark plugs.
|
6. |
Install ignition coils.
|
Timing Belt Tension Adjustment
1. |
Remove the engine cover (A).
|
2. |
Remove RH front wheel.
|
3. |
Remove the 4bolts (B) and timing belt upper cover (A).
|
4. |
Slacken the tensioner bolt.
When check the timing belt tension or install the timing
belt tensioner, must it the engine oil temperature is between
15°C(59°F) and 25°C(77°F).
|
|
5. |
Using a hex wrench, turn the adjuster counterclockwise to make
the indicator of the arm (A) located at the center of the base notch.
Do not rotate the adjuster clockwise.
It will result in auto tensioner's functional problem.
|
|
6. |
Tightening tensioner bolt with fixing the indicator not to move.
Tightening torque
Tensioner bolt :
22.6 ~ 28.4Nm (2.3 ~ 2.9kgf.m, 16.6 ~ 21.0lb-ft)
|
|
7. |
Turn the crankshaft two revolutions in the operating direction
(clockwise) and check that the indicator is in the center of base.
|
8. |
If the indicator is not located at the center of base, slacken
the bolt and repeat the above procedure.
|
9. |
Install the timing belt upper cover (A) with the four bolts (B).
Tightening torque :
7.8 ~ 9.8Nm (0.8 ~ 1.0kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 7.2lb-ft)
|
|
10. |
Install RH front wheel.
|
11. |
Install engine cover (A) with the four bolts.
|
Valve Clearance Inspection And Adjustment
MLA (Mechanical Lash Adjuster)
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold
(Engine coolant temperature : 20°C) and cylinder head is installed on
the cylinder block.
|
1. |
Remove the engine cover (A).
|
2. |
Remove the upper timing belt cover (A).
A. |
Loosen the upper timing cover bolts and then remove the
cover.
|
|
3. |
Remove the cylinder head cover.
A. |
Disconnect the spark plug cables and do not pull on the
spark plug by force.
Pulling on or bending the cables may damage the
connductor inside.
|
|
B. |
Disconnect the P.C.V hose (A) and the breather hose (B)
from the cylinder head cover.
|
C. |
Disconnect the accelerater cable (C) and the auto-cruise
cable(D) from the cylinder head cover.
|
D. |
Loosen the cylinder head cover bolts (B) and then remove
the cover (A) and gasket.
|
|
4. |
Set No. 1 cylinder to TDC/compression.
A. |
Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the
timing mark "T" of the lower timing belt cover.
|
B. |
Check that the hole of the camshaft timing pulley (A)
is aligned with the timing mark of the bearing cap.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360°)
|
|
5. |
Inspect the valve clearance
A. |
Check only the valve indicated as shown. [No. 1 cylinder
: TDC/Compression] measure the valve clearance.
|
• |
Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance
between the tappet shim and the base circle of camshaft.
|
• |
Record the out-of-specification valve clearance
measurements. They will be used later to determine the
required replaement adjusing shim.
