Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
1.Use a scraper to remove old liquid gasket from mating
surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil from
these areas.
2.Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant part No. 999MP-
A7007 or equivalent.)
IFor oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 4.0 to 5.0 mm
(0.157 to 0.197 in).
IFor areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is
2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in).
3.Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
4.Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5.Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and
engine coolant.

MEASUREMENT OF COMPRESSION PRESSURE
SEM973E

NCEM0007
1.Warm up engine.
2.Turn ignition switch OFF.
3.Release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC-50, “Fuel Pressure Release”.
4.Remove all spark plugs.
5.Disconnect distributor coil connector.
6.Attach a compression tester to No. 1 cylinder.
7.Depress accelerator pedal fully to keep throttle valve wide
open.
8.Crank engine and record highest gauge indication.
9.Repeat the measurement on each cylinder.
IAlways use a fully-charged battery to obtain specified
engine speed.
Compression pressure: kPa (kg/cm
Standard
1,275 (13.0, 185)/300
Minimum
1,079 (11.0, 156)/300
Difference limit between cylinders
98 (1.0, 14)/300
10. If compression in one or more cylinders is low:
a.Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark
plug holes.
b.Retest compression.
IIf adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn
or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking piston.
IIf pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating
improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. Refer
to SDS, EM-75. If valve or valve seat is damaged
excessively, replace them.
IIf compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to
each other:
a)The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or
b)Both cylinders may have valve component damage.
Inspect and repair as necessary.

ness of cylinder head mating surface.

Head surface flatness:
Standard: Less than 0.03 mm (0.0012 in)
Limit: 0.1 mm (0.004 in)
If beyond the specified limit, replace or resurface it.
Resurfacing limit:
The limit for cylinder head resurfacing is determined by the
amount of cylinder block resurfacing.
Amount of cylinder head resurfacing is “A”.
Amount of cylinder block resurfacing is “B”.
The maximum limit is as follows:
A + B = 0.2 mm (0.008 in)
After resurfacing cylinder head, check that camshaft rotates freely
by hand. If resistance is felt, cylinder head must be replaced.
