GENERAL
Special reference are made in the text for
procedures which are different for
cylinder no. 1 and cylinder no. 2.
1. Cylinder 1 (front)
2. Cylinder 2 (rear)
When diagnosing an engine problem,
always perform a cylinder leak test.
NOTE: Even though the following
procedures do not require the engine
removal, many illustrations show the
engine out of the vehicle for more clarity.
IMPORTANT: Note position of parts on
disassembly. This may help to find the
root cause of a problem. A component
that is not replaced should be reinstalled
in the same position as originally
mounted.
INSPECTION
LEAK TEST
Before performing the cylinder leak test ,
verify the following:

normal operating temperature.
