ENGINE UNIT INSPECTION

PROCEDURE


  1. INSPECT NO. 1 VALVE ROCKER ARM SUB-ASSEMBLY


    1. Turn the roller by hand to check that it turns smoothly.

      If the roller does not turn smoothly, replace the No. 1 valve rocker arm sub-assembly.

  2. INSPECT VALVE LASH ADJUSTER ASSEMBLY

    Note


    • Keep the adjuster free from dirt and foreign objects.

    • Use only clean engine oil.


    1. Place the lash adjuster into a container full of new engine oil.

      A001DKQE01

    2. Insert SST's tip into the lash adjuster's plunger and use the tip to press down on the check ball inside the plunger.

      SST
      09276-75010

    3. Squeeze SST and the lash adjuster together to move the plunger up and down 5 to 6 times.

    4. Check the movement of the plunger and bleed air.

      OK
      Plunger moves up and down.

      Note

      When bleeding high-pressure air from the compression chamber, make sure that the tip of SST is actually pressing the check ball as shown in the illustration. If the check ball is not pressed, air will not bleed.

    5. After bleeding the air, remove SST. Then try to quickly and firmly press the plunger with your fingers.

      OK
      Plunger can be pressed 3 times.

      If the plunger can still be compressed after pressing it 3 times, replace the hydraulic lash adjuster with a new one.

  3. INSPECT CYLINDER HEAD SET BOLT


    1. A001F0AE07
      *1 Measuring Point

      Using a vernier caliper, measure the minimum diameter of the elongated thread at the measuring point.

      Standard outside diameter
      10.85 to 11.00 mm (0.427 to 0.433 in.)
      Minimum outside diameter
      10.6 mm (0.417 in.)
      Measuring point
      90 mm (3.543 in.) for intake side bolt
      85 mm (3.346 in.) for exhaust side bolt

      If the diameter is less than the minimum, replace the cylinder head bolt.

      Tech Tips

      If a visual check reveals no excessively thin areas, check the center of the bolt (see illustration) and find the area that has the lowest diameter.
