Caution
1. Keep away from the spark plug hole when
cranking.
2. Do not let water, oil, fuel, etc. enter the cylinder,
as these heated materials will gush out from the
spark plug hole, which is dangerous.

6. Set the compression gauge to a spark plug mounting

7. Crank the engine with the throttle valve fully open and
measure the compression pressure.
Standard value: 1200 kPa/250–400 r/min
Limit: min. 890 kPa/250–400 r/min
8. Measure the compression of all the cylinders, and check
that the pressure differences of the cylinders are below
the limit.
Limit: max. 100 kPa
9. If there is a cylinder with compression or a compression
difference that is outside the limit, pour a small amount
of engine oil through the spark plug hole, and repeat
the operations in steps (6) to (8).
(1) If the compression increases after oil is added, the
cause of the malfunction is a worn or damaged piston
ring and/or cylinder inner surface.
(2) If the compression does not rise after oil is added,
the cause is a burnt or defective valve seat, or pressure
leaking from the gasket.
10. Reconnect the crank angle sensor connector.

LASH ADJUSTER CHECK
Index
If an abnormal noise (clattering noise) suspected to be caused
by malfunction of the lash adjuster is produced immediately
after starting the engine and does not disappear, perform 11A
the following check. Index
NOTE
D An abnormal noise due to malfunction of the lash adjuster
is produced immediately after starting the engine and
changes with engine speed, regardless of the engine
load. If the abnormal noise is not produced immediately
after starting the engine, or does not change with the
engine speed, or it changes with the engine load,
malfunction of the lash adjuster is not the cause for the
abnormal noise.
D When the lash adjuster is malfunctioning, the abnormal
noise is rarely eliminated by continuing the warming-up
of the engine at idle speed. However, the abnormal noise
may disappear only when seizure is caused by oil sludge
in the engine if the oil is not maintained properly.
1. Start the engine.
2. Check if abnormal noise produced immediately after
starting the engine changes with the change in the engine
speed. If the abnormal noise is not produced immediately
after starting the engine or it does not change with the
engine speed, malfunction of the lash adjuster is not the
cause for the noise. Therefore, investigate other causes.
If the abnormal noise does not change with the engine
speed, it is probably caused by some parts other than
the engine. (In this case, the valve lash adjuster is in
good condition.)
3. With the engine idling, change the engine load (shift from
N to D, range for example) to make sure that there is
no change in the level of abnormal noise.
If there is a change in the level of abnormal noise, a
tapping noise due to worn crankshaft bearing or
connecting rod bearing is suspected. (In this case, the
lash adjuster is in good condition.)
4. After the engine is warmed up, run it at idle and check
for abnormal noise. If the noise is reduced or disappears,
clean the lash adjuster (refer cleaning procedure) as the
noise may be caused by a seized or sticking lash adjuster.
If there is no change in the level of the abnormal noise,
proceed to Step 5.
5. Run the engine to bleed the lash adjuster system, (Refer
bleeding lash adjusters)
6. If the abnormal noise does not disappear after performing
the air bleeding operation, clean the lash adjuster, (Refer
cleaning procedure).
 11A ENGINE – On-vehicle Service
Main
BLEEDING THE LASH ADJUSTER SYSTEM
Index
NOTE
D Parking the vehicle on a grade for a long time may
leak oil from the lash adjuster, causing air to enter 11A
the high pressure chamber when starting the engine. Index
D After being parked for many hours, oil may run out
from the oil passage. It takes time before oil is supplied
to the lash adjuster, causing air to enter the high
pressure chamber.
D In the above cases, eliminate the abnormal noise
by bleeding the lash adjusters as follows:
1. Check the engine oil. Add or change oil if required.
NOTE
D If the engine oil level is low, air is sucked from the
oil screen, causing air to enter the oil passage.
D If the engine oil level is higher than specification,
oil may be stirred by the crankshaft causing oil to
be mixed with air.
D If oil is deteriorated, air is not easily separated from
Good the oil, increasing the quantity of air contained in
the oil.

D If oil mixed with air enters the high pressure chamber

inside the lash adjuster from the above causes, air
in the high pressure chamber is excessively
compressed while the valve is opened, resulting in
High
pressure abnormal noise at closing of the valve. This is the
chamber same phenomenon as when the valve clearance has
become excessive. The lash adjuster can resume
normal function when air that has entered the lash
adjuster is removed.
2. Idle the engine for 1 to 3 minutes.
