Air Stopper 07LAJ-PR3020B
1. Set the No. 1 piston at TDC.
2. Remove the cylinder head cover.
3. Push on the intake mid rocker arm (A} for the No. 1 cylinder. The mid rocker arm should move independently of the intake primary rocker arm
(B) and intake secondary rocker arm (C).
^
If the intake mid rocker arm does not move, remove the mid, primary, and secondary rocker arms as an assembly, and check that the pistons in
the mid and primary rocker arms move smoothly. If any rocker arm needs replacing, replace the primary, mid, and secondary rocker arms as an
assembly, and test.
^
If the intake mid rocker arm moves freely, go to step 4.
4. Repeat step 3 on the remaining intake mid rocker arms with each piston at TDC. When all the mid rocker arms pass the test, go to step 5.
5. Check that the air pressure on the shop air compressor gauge indicates over 400 kPa (4 kgf/cm2, 57 psi).
6. Inspect the valve clearance.
7. Cover the timing belt with a shop towel to protect the belt.
8. Plug the relief hole with the air stopper (A).
