2. Check the flange surface for any deformation and flatness. Use a reliable straightedge and feeler gauge, or attach the supercharger flange to the intake collector mating flange, and check that the flatness is within specification.

Flange flatness limit:..................0.12 mm (0.005 inch)



ROTOR SYSTEM
1. Check that the supercharger pulley rotates smoothly when turning it by hand in a clockwise direction. Rotating torque must not exceed specification.

Rotating torque:.................0.5 Nm (0.05 kg-m, 4 inch lbs.)

2. Check that both the left and right rotors are free from any cracks or contamination.



SUPERCHARGER BYPASS VALVE ACTUATOR





1. Apply air pressure of less than 12 kPa (90 mmHg, 3.54 inHg) to the supercharger bypass valve actuator's lower side hose port and check for any leakage.
2. Check the supercharger bypass valve actuator rod for smooth movement while maintaining the pressure at the specified levels below:

Rod starts to extend at approximately:.................12 kPa (90 mmHg, 3.54 inHg)
Rod is fully extended at approximately:.................33.3 kPa (250 mmHg, 9.84 inHg)
Rod full extended length: ...............................20.83 - 22.71 mm (0.82 - 0.89 inch)
