Repair procedures
Compression Pressure Inspection
NOTE
If the there is lack of power, excessive oil consumption or poor fuel
economy, measure the compression pressure.
1. Warm up and stop engine.
Allow the engine to warm up to normal operating temperature.
2. Disconnect the injector extension connector (A) and ignition coil connectors
(B).
![3. Remove ignition coils (A).](images/books/1921/17/index%20108.png)
3. Remove ignition coils (A).
![4. Remove spark plugs.](images/books/1921/17/index%20109.png)
4. Remove spark plugs.
Using a 16mm plug wrench, remove the 4 spark plugs.
5. Check cylinder compression pressure.
- Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20110.png)
- Fully open the throttle.
- While cranking the engine, measure the compression pressure.
NOTE
Always use a fully charged battery to obtain engine speed of 200 rpm or
more.
- Repeat steps (1) through (3) for each cylinder.
NOTE
This measurement must be done in as short a time as possible.
Compression pressure :
l,324kPa (13.5kgf/cm2, 192psi) / 200 ~ 250rprn
Minimum pressure:
l,177kPa (12.0kgf/cm2,171psi)
Difference between each cylinder :
100кРа (1.0kgf/cm2,15psi) or less
- If the cylinder compression in 1 or more cylinders is low, pour a small
amount of engine oil into the cylinder
though the spark plug hole and repeat steps (1) through (3) for cylinders
with low compression.
- If adding oil helps the compression, it is likely that the piston lings
and/or cylinder bore are worn or
damaged.
- If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating is improper,
or there may be leakage past the
gasket.
6. Reinstall spark plugs.
7. Install ignition coils.
8. Connect the injector extension connector and ignition coil connectors.
9. Some DTC's may exist after the inspection test and may need to be manually
cleared with GDS.
Valve Clearance Inspection And Adjustment
NOTE
Inspect and adjust the valve clearance when the engine is cold (Engine
coolant temperature : 20ºC (68ºF) ) and
cylinder head is installed on the cylinder block.
WARNING
In case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe,
delivery pipe, and injector, there may be
injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any repair work
right after engine stops.
1. Remove the cylinder head cover. (Refer to Timing system in this group)
2. Set No. cylinder to TDC/compression.
- Turn the crankshaft pulley and align its groove with the timing mark "T"
of the lower timing chain cover.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20111.png)
- Check that the TDC marks (A) of the C W T sprockets are in straight line
on the cylinder head surface as
shown in the illustration.
If not, turn the crankshaft one revolution (360º)
![3. Inspect the valve clearance.](images/books/1921/17/index%20112.png)
3. Inspect the valve clearance.
- Check only the valve indicated as shown. Measure the valve clearance.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20113.png)
- Using a thickness gauge, measure the clearance between the tappet and
the base circle of camshaft.
- Record the out-of-specification valve clearance measurements. They will
be used later to determine the
required replacement adjusting tappet.
Valve clearance
Specification
Engine coolant temperature: 20ºC [68ºF]
Limit
Intake : 0.10 ~ 0.30mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0118in.)
Exhaust: 0.20 ~ 0.40mm (0.0079 ~ 0.0157in.)
- Turn the crankshaft pulley one revolution (360º) and align the groove
with timing mark "T" of the lower timing
chain cover.
- Check only valves indicated as shown. Measure the valve clearance.
![4. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.](images/books/1921/17/index%20114.png)
4. Adjust the intake and exhaust valve clearance.
- Set the No.1 cylinder to the TDC/compression.
- Mark the timing chains (A) on the timing marks of the CVVT sprockets.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20115.png)
- Remove the front camshaft bearing cap.
- Turn the crankshaft pulley 15º clockwise.
- Remove the service hole bolt (A) of the timing chain cover.
![CAUTION](images/books/1921/17/index%20116.png)
CAUTION
The bolt must not be reused once it has been assembled.
- Remove the intake and exhaust camshaft bearing caps.
- Release the ratchet of the timing chain tensioner by pulling the link
down using a thin rod.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20117.png)
- After loosening the timing chain, remove the exhaust CVVT & camshaft
assembly (A) and then the intake
CVVT & camshaft assembly (B).
![CAUTION](images/books/1921/17/index%20118.png)
CAUTION
When disconnect the timing chain from the CVVT sprocket, hold the timing
chain.
- Tie down tuning chain so
that it doesn't move.
CAUTION
Be careful not to drop anything inside tuning chain cover.
- Measure the thickness of the removed tappet using a micrometer.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20119.png)
- Calculate the thickness of a new tappet so that the valve clearance
conies within the specified value.
Valve clearance [Engine coolant temperature : 20ºC (68ºF) ]
T : Thickness of removed tappet
A : Measured valve clearance
N : Thickness of new tappet
Intake : N = T + [A - 0.20mm (0.0079in.) ]
Exhaust: N = T + [A - 0.30mm (0.0118in.) ]
- Select a new tappet with a thickness as close as possible to the
calculated value.
NOTE
Shims are available in 47 size increments of 0.015mm (0.0006m.) from
3.00mm. (0.118in.) to
3.690mm (0.1452in.)
- Place a new tappet on the cylinder head.
- Hold the timing chain, and place the intake CVVT & camshaft assembly.
- Place the exhaust CVVT & camshaft assembly after releasing the ratchet
of the timing chain tensioner.
NOTE
The timing marks of each CVVT sprocket should be matched with timing marks
(painted link) of
timing chain when installing the timing chain.
![](images/books/1921/17/index%20120.png)
- Install the camshaft bearing caps in then proper locations.
