PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00IKY
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00IKZ

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disconnecting and disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00IL0

When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified. Power tools may be
used where noted in the step.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00IL1
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00IL2

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.

Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.

Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for
any restriction and blockage.

Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.

Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.

Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch ON (with engine
stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.

After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, oil, and exhaust
systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angular TighteningEBS00IL3

For final tightening of the following engine parts use Tool:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)

Do not use a torque value for final tightening.

The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.

Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and lightly coated with engine oil. Tool number : KV10112100 (BT-8653-A)

FUEL INJECTOR AND FUEL TUBE
2004 QX56
7. Remove the fuel injector from the fuel tube using the following
steps.
a. Spread open and remove the clip.
b. Remove the fuel injector from the fuel tube by pulling straight
out.
CAUTION:

Be careful with remaining fuel that may leak out from fuel
tube.

Do not damage injector nozzles during removal.

Do not bump or drop fuel injectors.

Do not disassemble fuel injectors.
8. Remove the fuel damper from each fuel tube.
INSTALLATION
1. Install the fuel damper to each fuel tube using the following
steps.
a. Apply engine oil to the new O-ring and set it into the cap of the
fuel tube.
CAUTION:

Handle O-ring with bare hands. Never wear gloves.

Lubricate new O-ring with new engine oil.

Do not clean O-ring with solvent.

Make sure that O-ring and its mating part are free of for-
eign material.

When installing O-ring, do not scratch it with tool or fin-
gernails.

Do not twist or stretch the O-ring.
b. Make sure that the backup spacer is in the O-ring connecting surface of the fuel damper.
NOTE:
The backup spacer is part of the fuel damper assembly.
c. Insert the fuel damper until it seats on the fuel tube.
CAUTION:

Insert straight, making sure that the axis is lined up.

Do not pressure-fit with excessive force.
d. Install the cap, and then tighten the bolts evenly.

After tightening the bolts, make sure that there is no gap between the cap and fuel tube.
2. Install new O-rings to the fuel injector paying attention to the items below.
CAUTION:

Upper and lower O-ring are different.

TIMING CHAIN
2004 QX56
10. Remove the oil pump drive spacer.

Hold and remove the flat space of the oil pump drive spacer
by pulling it forward.
11. Remove the oil pump. Refer to LU-13, "
Removal and Installation" .
12. Remove the chain tensioner on the left bank using the following steps.
NOTE:
To remove the timing chain and associated parts, start with those on the left bank. The procedure for
removing parts on the right bank is omitted because it is the same as that for the left bank.
a. Squeeze the return-proof clip ends using suitable tool and push
the plunger into the tensioner body.
b. Secure the plunger using stopper pin.

Stopper pin is made from hard wire approximately 1 mm (0.04
in) in diameter.
c. Remove the bolts and chain tensioner.
WAR NIN G:
Plunger, spring, and spring seat pop out when (squeezing)
return-proof clip without holding plunger head. It may
cause serious injuries. Always hold plunger head when
removing.
NOTE:

Stop the plunger in the fully extended position by using the
return-proof clip 1 if the stopper pin is removed.

Push the plunger 2 into the tensioner body while squeezing
the return-proof clip 1. Secure it using stopper pin 3.
13. Remove the chain tension guide and slack guide.
14. Remove the timing chain and crankshaft sprocket.
15. Loosen the camshaft sprocket bolts as shown and remove the
camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
To avoid interference between valves and pistons, do not
turn crankshaft or camshaft when timing chain is discon-
nected.
16. Repeat the same procedure to remove the right timing chain and
associated parts.

b. Select one most visible notch of the four on bolt flange. Corre-
sponding to the selected notch, put a mating mark (such as
paint) on crankshaft pulley.
14. Rotate crankshaft pulley in normal direction (clockwise when
viewed from engine front) to check for parts interference.
15. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order
