How to use this manual   

Subject Scope   

  This manual comprises procedures on engine 

maintenance, and specific procedures fall into 
5 basic operation steps:   

I: dismantling/mounting; II disassembling 
/mounting; III: resetting; IV inspection; V 
adjustment.  

  Simple operation may be completed by 

inspecting the engine appearance, such as 
dismantling/mounting of periphery parts, 
parts cleaning, and appearance inspection etc.   

Overhaul Steps: 

1.  Prior to most overhaul work, illustrative 

pictures shall be observed because they will 
help distinguish parts & components, 
illustrate the parts fastening way, and the way 
of inspecting parts appearance. In addition, 
illustration explanations are attached to 
dismantling/mounting procedures in need of 
systematic demonstration.   

2.  On illustrations there are symbols of wearing 

parts, tightening torque, lubricating oil, and 
sealant, and also corresponding explanations 
and marks are made to special tools or 
equipments for dismantling or mounting.   

3.  Corresponding numbers are marked on 

pictures for the operation sequence and parts’ 
major operation process. In general, 
information of this kind serves as key and 
core content of the diagnosis procedure. Due 
to this, please refer to these materials during 
the overhauling process.   

Symbol  

Four kinds of symbols are used in this manual to 
indicate application of lubricating oil, sealant, and 
special tools etc., and they imply occasions where 
foresaid materials shall be applied during the 
maintenance period.

Prompt signals   

In this manual there are such signals as 
“Warning”, “Caution”, “Attention”, 
“Explanation”, and “Limit”.   

Warning 

  Warning is used to prompt that personal 

injury may be caused due to negligence. 

Caution 

  Caution is used to prompt that engine damage 

may be caused due to negligence.   

Notice 

  Notice is used to provide additional 

information for completion of given 
procedures. 

Explanation  

  Explanation is used to prompt the permissible 

range for inspection or adjustment.   

Limit  

Limit is used to prompt the upper and lower limit 
for the inspection or adjustment.

1.2 Inspection and Maintenance of 
Complete Vehicle   

1.2.1 Inspection of Compression Pressure   

Warning 

  When the engine is running, the oil 

temperature is extremely high. Therefore, 
keep cautious during dismantling and 
mounting process since there is a danger of 
burn.  

1.  Set the vehicle into the normal pre-inspection 

state: warm up the engine to a normal running 
temperature; then stop the running and cool it 
for 10 minutes.   

2.  Dismantle the fuel pump relay (see 

corresponding complete vehicle maintenance 
manual).  

3.  Disconnect ignition coil’s wiring harness joint 

(see corresponding complete vehicle 
maintenance manual).   

4.  Dismantle Cylinder 1’s ignition coil and spark 

plug(see Ignition, Control System part).   

 

5.  Mount the gauge into Cylinder 1’s spark plug 

hole.  

6.  Floor the accelerator pedal and start the 

engine.  

7.  Record the gauge’s maximum reading.   

8.  Measure all cylinders’ compression pressures 

according to preceding method, and inspect if 
the pressure difference between cylinders is 
lower than the limit value.   

Limit value (maximum):

 1300 

(kPa)

Note: If one cylinder or several cylinders 
encounter excessively low pressure, or pressure 
difference between cylinders goes beyond the limit 
value specified, some drops of engine oil shall be 
added for repeated operation. Repeat the 
inspection following Step5-7.   

■  If the compression pressure increases, the 
fault cause should be attributed to piston, piston 
ring, or cylinder inner surface’s wearing or 
damage, and in turn an overhaul is needed.   

■  If the adjacent cylinder encounters low 
pressure, the cylinder gasket may be damaged, or 
the cylinder head likely suffers deformation, and in 
turn an overhaul is needed.   

■  If the compression pressure is still low, the 

valve seat is burnt or in poor quality, and the 
valve’s sealing face has poor contact. Thus, an 
overhaul is needed.   

9.  Take off the gauge   

10.  Mount the spark plug tightening torque:20～

30N·m{2.1～3.1kgf·m } 

11. Connect the ignition coil wiring.   

1.2.2 Inspection of the Engine Oil 

1.  Park the automobile on the level ground.   

2.  Warm up the engine to a normal running 

temperature and stop the running.   

3.  Wait for 5 minutes.   

4.  Pull out the dipstick and observe the oil level 

and oil state, inspect if the oil level ranges 
between Scale F and Scale L.   

5.  Add or replace oil according to needs.

Engine block 1A-12 

 

6.  Confirm the dipstick O-ring’s installation (see 

right figure). 

7.  Insert the dipstick again.     

 

1.2.3 Inspection of Oil Pressure   

Warning 

  Wasted and used oil is cancer-causing 

substance, and so skin shall be cleaned with 
soap and tap water immediately after the 
work.  

1.  Dismantle the oil pressure switch.   

2.  Mount the special tools onto oil pressure 

switch’s mounting hole.   

3.  Warm up the engine to a normal running 

temperature.  

4.  Run the engine to a fixed rotating speed, and 

cast attention to the oil pressure gauge’s 
reading.  

5.  Stop the running and cool the engine.   

6.  Dismantle special tools.   

 

★ 

Note: if the pressure goes beyond the 
specified range, inspect the cause, and repair 
the engine and replace the oil according to 
needs.  

Notice 

  Oil with different viscosities and temperatures 

may vary in pressure   

7. Oil pressure:

375  ～  450kPa

{4.1  ～

6.0kgf/cm2}[2500rpm] 

8.  Smear evenly the thread sealant (A6F011) 

onto the oil pressure switch thread (see the 

figure).  

 

 

9.  Mount the oil pressure switch. Tightening 

torque:14.7N·m{1.5kgf·m}.  

10.  Start the engine and inspect if the engine oil 

suffers leakage.   

1.2.4 Replacement of Engine Oil 

1.  Dismantle the oil cover and oil drain plug.   

2.  Pour the oil into appropriate vessel.   

3.  Mount the new oil drain plug. Tightening 

torque: 30～41N·m{3.1～4.2kgf·m}.  

4.  Add engine oil of specified model and volume 

into the engine.   

5.  Remount the oil cover.   

6.  Inspect the dipstick’s scale value.   

7.  Start the engine and inspect if there is 

leakage.  

8.  Inspect the engine oil level and add the oil if 

necessary (see Inspection of Engine Oil).   

Notice 

  In some occasions, actual oil volume that is 

added according to the oil scale may differ 
from the oil volume specified.
