1. Start the engine and allow it to idle until the coolant
temperature reaches 70 – 80 °C (158 – 176 °F).
2. Remove the following parts.
• Leak off pipe
• Injection nozzle holder bracket
• Injection nozzle holder
3. Install the following parts.
• Set the adapter and compression gauge (SST) to
the No.1 cylinder injection nozzle hole.
• Injection nozzle holder bracket
