Specification Highlights

Accurate technical data eliminates guesswork. The manual clearly documents the engine compression standard of 120–150 psi and the 7200 RPM limiter threshold. Cylinder head bolt torque values are precisely listed at 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm). For electrical troubleshooting, you will find the 12-volt system's stator winding resistance specified at 0.1–0.3 ohms. It also covers the DI fuel delivery system, noting the required fuel pump operating pressure of 20–30 PSI. This standardized factory reference provides the exact diagnostic parameters needed to maintain unit reliability.
