28. Install the SST on the camshaft as shown in the

figure.

29. Remove the installation bolt for the engine front

cover upper blind plug (M6 X 1.0 length 25—
35mm {0.99— 1.3 in}), and apply tension to the

32. Remove the SST from the camshaft.
33. Remove the SST installed in the cylinder block

lower blind plug hole.

34. Rotate the crankshaft clockwise two turns and

inspect the valve timing.

• If it is not aligned, repeat the procedure.

35. Apply the silicone sealant and install the engine

front cover upper blind plug.

Tightening torque

8.0— 11.5 N·m {82— 117 kgf·cm, 71— 101

36. Install the cylinder block lower blind plug.

Tightening torque

18— 22 N·m {1.9— 2.2 kgf·m, 14— 16 ft·lbf}

37. Install a new engine front cover lower blind plug.

Tightening torque

10.0— 14.0 N·m {102— 142 kgf·cm, 89— 123

COMPRESSION INSPECTION[L3 WITH TC]

id011039800300

Warning

• Hot engines can cause severe burns. Be careful not to burn yourself during removal/installation of

each component.

• Fuel vapor is hazardous. It can very easily ignite, causing death, serious injury, or damage. Always

keep sparks and flames away from fuel.

1. Verify that the battery is completely charged. (See01-17-2 BATTERY INSPECTION[L3 WITH TC].)
2. Warm up the engine.

Warning

• Fuel line spills and leakage from the pressurized fuel system are dangerous. Fuel can easily ignite

and cause serious injury or death and damage. Fuel can also irritate skin and eyes. To prevent
this, always perform the Fuel Line Safety Procedure. (See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR
PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)

3. Remove the charge air cooler.
4. Remove the ignition coils. (See01-18-2 IGNITION COIL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[L3 WITH TC].)
5. Remove all the spark plugs. (See01-18-3 SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[L3 WITH TC])
6. Remove the fuel pump relay. (See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)
7. Remove the fuel injector relay.
8. Measure the compression pressure using the following procedure.

(1) Press the compression gauge into the spark

plug hole.

(2) Fully open the throttle valve.
(3) Crank the engine and measure the

compression pressure.

Compression

Standard: 1,280 kPa {13.1 kgf/cm

2

, 185.65

psi} [250rpm]

Minimum: 896 kPa {9.14 kgf/cm

2

, 129.96 psi}

[250rpm]

Maximum difference between cylinders:

196.1 kPa {2.0 kgf/cm

2

, 28.5 psi}

(4) Perform Steps (1) to (3) for all cylinders.
(5) If it is less than the minimum specification, or there is a cylinder with a compression value that differs from

that of other cylinders by 196.1 kPa or more {2.0 kgf/cm

2

, 28.5 psi}, add a small quantity of engine oil

through the spark plug hole and perform Steps (1) to (3).

• If the pressure increases by adding the engine oil, the piston ring or the cylinder surface is worn, or they

are damaged. Perform overhaul servicing.

• If the pressure does not increase, valve seizure, valve attachment failure, or pressure leakage from the

cylinder head gasket might be occurring. Perform overhaul servicing.

9. Install the fuel injector relay.

10. Install the fuel pump relay. (See01-14-4 BEFORE REPAIR PROCEDURE[L3 WITH TC].)
11. Install the spark plugs. (See01-18-3 SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[L3 WITH TC])
12. Install the ignition coils. (See01-18-2 IGNITION COIL REMOVAL/INSTALLATION[L3 WITH TC].)
13. Install the charge air cooler.
