SERVICE ADJUSTMENT
ENGINE OIL CHECK
(1) Check to ensure that the engine oil level is within the level
range indicated on the oil dip stick.
(2) Check to ensure that the oil is not noticeably dirty or mixed
with coolant or gasoline,
and that it has the proper
ADJUSTERS CHECK
NOTE
Soon after the engine
IS
started or while it is running,
abnormal noise (clattering) which may be
to the
adjuster sounds but does not stop. In this case, check the
following.
(1) Check the engine oil, and refill or replace oil if necessary.
NOTE
If the oil amount is small, air will be sucked from the oil
strainer and mixed in the oil passage.
If the oil amount is excessive, the oil will be stirred by
the crank and mixed with a large amount of air.
Air and oil can not be separated easily in the deterio-
rated oil, and the amount of air mixed in the oil
increases.
If such mixed-in
enters the high pressure chamber in
the lash adjuster, the air in the high-pressure chamber will
be compressed while the valve is opened, the lash adjuster
will be excessively compressed and abnormal noise will be
produced when the valve is closed.
This is the same phenomenon which occurs when the
valve clearance is improperly adjusted to be excessively
large.
However, it will return to be normal if the air entrapped in
the adjuster is released in this case.
(2) Start the engine, and slowly
it several times (10 times
or less).
If the abnormal noise is eliminated by racing the engine, it
means that the air is released from the high-pressure
chamber of the lash adjuster and the function of the lash
is returned to normal.
l
Gradually increase the engine speed from the idle
speed to 3,000 rpm (for 30 seconds), and then
gradually slow down the engine to the idling speed (for
30 seconds).
NOTE
If the vehicle is parked on a slope for a long time, the
oil will be sometimes reduced in the lash adjuster, and
air will enter the high-pressure chamber when the
engine is started.
l
After the vehicle is parked for a long time, the oil will
out of the oil passage. Since it takes a little time to
supply oil to the lash adjuster, air sometimes enters the
high-pressure chamber.
