3.

Measure the center thickness of the removed valve lifters with a
micrometer (A).

4.

Use the equation below to calculate valve lifter thickness for replacement.

• Thickness of new valve lifter 

 can be identified by stamp

mark 

 on the reverse side (inside the cylinder).

• Stamp mark “302H” indicates 3.02 mm (0.1189 in) in thick-

ness.

NOTE:
Available thickness of valve lifter: 26 sizes range 3.00 to 3.50 mm (0.1181 to 0.1378 in) in steps of 0.02
mm (0.0008 in) (when manufactured at factory). Refer to 

EM-249, "Camshaft"

.

5.

Install the selected valve lifter.

6.

Install camshaft. Refer to 

EM-196, "Exploded View"

.

7.

Install timing chain and related parts. Refer to 

EM-183, "Exploded View"

.

8.

Manually rotate crankshaft pulley a few rotations. 

9.

Check that the valve clearances is within the standard. Refer to “INSPECTION”.

10. Install remaining parts in the reverse order of removal.

11. Warm up the engine, and check for unusual noise and vibration.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010715453

1.

Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it.

2.

Release the fuel pressure. Refer to 

ECM-135, "Work Procedure"

.

3.

Remove ignition coil and spark plug from each cylinder. Refer to 

EM-170, "Exploded View"

.

4.

Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT).

5.

Install compression gauge (A) with an adapter (B) (commercial
service tool) onto spark plug hole.

• Use the adapter whose picking up end inserted to spark plug

hole is smaller than 20 mm (0.79 in) in diameter. Otherwise, it
may be caught by cylinder head during removal.

6.

With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to “START” for cranking. When the gauge
pointer stabilizes, read the compression pressure and the engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each
cylinder.

CAUTION:

Always use a fully charged battery to obtain the specified engine speed.
• If the engine speed is out of the specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check the

engine speed again with normal battery gravity. 

• If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances, and parts associated with

combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.

• If some cylinder has low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug hole

of the cylinder to recheck it for compression.

- If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check pis-

ton rings and replace if necessary.

- If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-

functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.

• If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains

low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cyl-
inder head gaskets.

7.

After inspection is completed, install removed parts.

8.

Start the engine, and check that the engine runs smoothly.

9.

Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to 

ECM-65, "CONSULT Function"

.
