4.1 Engine body
4.1.1 Checking compression pressure
NOTE
• Check the compression pressure with the
specified valve clearance.
• Always use a fully charged battery for
performing this test.
• Variances in cylinder compression values
should be under 10%.
1. Operate the engine until it is warmed up.
2. Stop the engine.
3. Remove the air cleaner, the muffler and all glow
plugs (or nozzles).
4. Set a compression tester with the adapter to the
glow plug hole (or nozzle hole).
Nozzle hole:
Adapter H (07909-31231)
Glow plug hole:
Adapter L (07909-31301)
5. Disconnect the connector of engine stop solenoid
and keep the engine stop position (non-injection).
Then, operate the engine with the starter and
measure the compression pressure.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for each cylinder.
7. If the measurement is below the allowable limit,
apply a small amount of oil to the cylinder wall
through the glow plug hole (or nozzle hole) and
measure the compression pressure again.

8. If the compression pressure is still less than the
allowable limit, check the top clearance, valve
clearance and cylinder head.
9. If the compression pressure increases after
applying oil, check the cylinder wall and piston
rings.
4.1.2 Checking valve clearance
IMPORTANT
• Valve clearance must be checked and adjusted
when engine is cold.
NOTE
• The sequence of cylinder numbers is given as
No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 starting from the gear
case side.
• After adjusting the valve clearance, secure the
adjusting screw with the lock nut.
