Removal the right engine cowling



Unscrew the 4 mounting bolts and remove the right engine mudguard.

Remove the two rivets installed on the body.

Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1



Use the bolt on the crankshaft hub to set the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1 in the direction of engine rotation.

The mark on the crankshaft pulley must align with the protrusion on the housing.

Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1: 1 -…

Setting the crankshaft to the top dead center (TDC) position of the piston of cylinder No.1: 1 - cams of cylinder No.1; 2 – ledge; 3 – label


Note: In this position, the cams of cylinder #1 are at TDC (both cams facing outward).


Note: In this position, the cams of cylinder #1 are at TDC (both cams facing outward).


Move the marks on the belt pulley 180° relative to the TDC mark of the first cylinder (arrow).



Lower the car.

Connect the pressure drop tester to the compressed air supply system.

Connect the pressure drop tester to the compressed air supply system.


Calibrate the pressure drop tester.

Screw the connector into the spark plug hole of cylinder No.1 and connect the pressure drop tester to the connector (in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions).

Select a gear and apply the handbrake.

Note: All wheels must touch the ground.


Recommended tightening torques for threaded connections



Recommended tightening torques for threaded connections
Recommended tightening torques for threaded connections

* two passes



** use new bolts

On an automatic transmission, move the selector lever to the "P" position.

Check the pressure drop in cylinder #1.

Read the pressure drop readings on the tester as a percentage.

Note: Be aware of any noise from air leaks from the intake manifold, exhaust system or crankcase, as well as bubbles in the coolant expansion tank.


Set the crankshaft to the ignition position in cylinder No.3 (TDC).

Check the pressure drop in cylinder #3.

Set the crankshaft to the ignition position in cylinder No.4 (TDC).

Check the pressure drop in cylinder #4.

Set the crankshaft to the ignition position in cylinder No.2 (TDC).

Check the pressure drop in cylinder #2.

Compare the results obtained.

The maximum pressure spread between individual cylinders is approximately 10%.

The maximum pressure drop in an individual cylinder must not exceed 25%.
