MECHANICAL(H4DO) > Compression 
INSPECTION
 

After warming-up, engine becomes very hot. Be careful not to burn yourself during measurement.

 
  • Before checking the compression pressure, the compression condition of each cylinder can be confirmed as a guide by using the compression measurement mode in Subaru Select Monitor. ENGINE (DIAGNOSTICS)(H4DO)>Active Test>OPERATION

  • In the compression measurement mode, the compression condition is judged by each cylinder speed. The high speed cylinder has low compression pressure and low speed cylinder has high compression pressure.

1.

After warming-up the engine, turn the ignition switch to OFF.

2.

Make sure that the battery is fully charged.

3.

Check the starter motor for satisfactory performance and operation.

4.

Remove the fuse of fuel pump from main fuse box.

5.

Start the engine and run it until it stalls.

6.

After the engine stalls, crank it for five more seconds.

7.

Turn the ignition switch to OFF.

8.

Remove all spark plugs. IGNITION(H4DO)>Spark Plug>REMOVAL

9.

Install the compression gauge to the spark plug hole.

 

When using a screw-in type compression gauge, the screw should be less than 25 mm (0.98in) long.

11.

Turn the ignition switch to ON.

12.

When inspecting #1 and #3 cylinders

(1)
 

When working on the vehicle, place a suitable container under the vehicle.

(2)

Set #1 cylinder piston to top dead center of compression stroke by rotating the crank pulley clockwise using the socket wrench.

 

When the timing mark (B) on crank pulley is aligned to the 0° in timing gauge (A) on chain cover as shown in the figure, the #1 cylinder piston is located at TDC of compression stroke if the intake camshaft and exhaust camshaft does not depress the #1 cylinder intake side roller rocker arm (intake valve) and exhaust side roller rocker arm (exhaust valve). If roller rocker arm (valve) is depressed, turn the crank pulley by 360° in order to make #1 cylinder piston at TDC of compression stroke.

(3)

Check the cam clearance for #1 cylinder intake, #1 cylinder exhaust and #3 cylinder exhaust.

 
  • Measure the roller surface of cam base circle and roller rocker arm using thickness gauge (A).

  • If the measured value is out of standard, take notes of the value in order to adjust the cam clearance later on.

    Cam clearance:

    Intake

2. WHEN TIMING CHAIN ASSEMBLY IS REMOVED
 

Inspection of cam clearance should be performed while engine is cold.

1.

When inspecting #1 and #3 cylinders

(1)
 

When working on the vehicle, place a suitable container under the vehicle.

(2)

Check the #1 and #3 cylinder cam clearance.

 

Intake and exhaust camshafts can be independently rotated with the timing chain removed. When the intake valve and exhaust valve lift at the same time, the valve heads contact each other and valve stem may bend. Do not turn it to the outside of range of zero lift (cam base circle position) (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).

 
  • For cam clearance inspection, adjust the cam base circle position so that the thickness gauge (A) can be inserted easily by hand turning the camshaft (cam sprocket) to be measured.

  • Measure the roller surface of cam base circle and roller rocker arm using thickness gauge (A).

  • If the measured value is out of standard, take notes of the value in order to adjust the cam clearance later on.

    Cam clearance:

    Intake

    Standard

    0.13+0.02−0.03 mm (0.0051+0.0008−0.0012in)

2.

When inspecting #2 and #4 cylinders

(1)
 

When working on the vehicle, place a suitable container under the vehicle.

(2)

Check the #2 and #4 cylinder cam clearance.

 

Intake and exhaust camshafts can be independently rotated with the timing chain removed. When the intake valve and exhaust valve lift at the same time, the valve heads contact each other and valve stem may bend. Do not turn it to the outside of range of zero lift (cam base circle position) (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).

 
  • Because the intake camshaft is pressurized by the high-pressure fuel pump, it is almost impossible to turn the intake camshaft lightly by hand. Since the zero-lift position is adjusted at the removal of the timing chain LH, measure the cam clearance at that position.

  • For cam clearance inspection on exhaust side, adjust the cam base circle position so that the thickness gauge (A) can be inserted easily by hand turning the exhaust camshaft (cam sprocket).

  • Measure the roller surface of cam base circle and roller rocker arm using thickness gauge (A).

  • If the measured value is out of standard, take notes of the value in order to adjust the cam clearance later on.

When the cam sprocket RH is removed, and the cam carrier RH is disassembled

 

Follow also steps below when the cam sprocket RH is removed, and the cam carrier RH is disassembled.

(1)

Using the ST, loosen the bolts which hold the cam sprocket RH.

 

In order to prevent damage on each component, be careful not to loosen the bolts too much.

Preparation tool:

ST: SOCKET (18270KA010)

4.

Push down the chain tensioner lever RH as shown in the figure, and insert a 2.5 mm (0.0984in) dia. stopper pin or a 2.5 mm dia. hex wrench into the stopper pin hole in the chain tensioner RH to secure the plunger (A).

5.

Remove the chain tensioner RH, and remove the chain tensioner lever RH (A).

6.

Remove the O-ring from the cylinder block RH.

7.

Remove the chain guide RH, and remove the timing chain RH (A).

 
  • If the timing chain RH is not installed, the intake camshaft RH and exhaust camshaft RH are kept at zero-lift position. All cams on the camshaft are not pressing down the roller rocker arm (intake valve and exhaust valve). (Under this condition, all valves remain unlifted.)

  • Intake camshaft RH and exhaust camshaft RH can be independently rotated with the timing chain RH removed. When the intake valve and exhaust valve lift at the same time, the valve heads contact each other and valve stem may bend. Do not turn it to the outside of range of zero-lift (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).

 

To avoid mixing with LH side, keep the removed part in order.

8.

Remove the side chain guide RH from the front camshaft cap RH.

2. TIMING CHAIN LH
2.

Using the ST and by turning the crankshaft, align the key of the crankshaft, the alignment mark (protrusion) of the intake cam sprocket LH and the alignment mark (protrusion) of the exhaust cam sprocket LH to the positions as shown in the figure.

Preparation tool:

ST: CRANKSHAFT SOCKET (18252AA000)

3.

When the cam sprocket LH is removed, and the cam carrier LH is disassembled

 

Follow also steps below when the cam sprocket LH is removed, and the cam carrier LH is disassembled.

(1)

Using the ST, loosen the bolts which hold the cam sprocket LH.

 

In order to prevent damage on each component, be careful not to loosen the bolts too much.

Preparation tool:

ST: SOCKET (18270KA010)

4.

Push up the chain tensioner lever LH as shown in the figure, and insert a stopper pin (clips, etc.) with a diameter of 1.2 mm (0.0472in) or less or a hex wrench with a diameter of 1.2 mm into the stopper pin hole in the chain tensioner LH to secure the plunger (A).

5.

Remove the chain tensioner LH, and remove the chain tensioner lever LH (A).

6.

Remove the O-ring from the cylinder block LH.

7.

Remove the chain guide LH, and remove the timing chain LH (A).

 
  • If the timing chain LH is not installed, the exhaust camshaft LH is kept at zero-lift position. All cams on the exhaust camshaft LH are not pressing down the roller rocker arm (exhaust valve). (Under this condition, exhaust valves remain unlifted.)

  • Intake camshaft LH is kept at lift position. All cams on the intake camshaft LH are pressing down the roller rocker arm (intake valve). (Under this condition, intake valves remain lifted.)

  • Intake camshaft LH and exhaust camshaft RH can be independently rotated with the timing chain LH removed. When the exhaust camshaft LH is turned, the valve heads contact each other and valve stem may bend as described in above. Do not turn the exhaust camshaft LH to the outside of range of zero-lift (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).

  • The #4 piston is located near TDC. If the intake camshaft LH is turned, the valve and the piston may contact and valve stem may bend. Do not turn the intake camshaft LH at this time.

 

To avoid mixing with RH side, keep the removed part in order.

8.

Using the ST and by turning the crankshaft approximately 200° clockwise, align the alignment marks of crank sprocket to the positions as shown in the figure.

 
  • This procedure is required to prevent the valve and piston contacting with each other, by moving the all pistons to the middle of the cylinders.

  • Never turn counterclockwise because the valve and piston may contact. Counterclockwise turn is allowed only when adjusting precisely the alignment marks, after turning the crank sprocket alignment mark clockwise near the position as shown in the figure.

Preparation tool:

ST: CRANKSHAFT SOCKET (18252AA000)

9.

Using ST1 and ST2 by turning the intake cam sprocket LH approximately 210° clockwise, align the alignment marks (protrusion) of intake cam sprocket LH to the positions (zero-lift position) as shown in the figure.

 
  • After this work, when the intake valve and exhaust valve lift at the same time, the valve heads contact each other and valve stem may bend. Do not turn the intake camshaft LH and exhaust camshaft LH to the outside of range of zero-lift (in range where it can be turned lightly by hand).

  • Perform the operation carefully since the ST comes off easily.

 

Intake camshaft LH has four peaks of drive sections for the high-pressure fuel pump. Therefore, there is little range where it can be turned lightly by hand in zero-lift position.
