ENGINE ASSEMBLY
• Before and during lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
33. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of the engine to the engine stand. NOTE:
This procedure is described assuming that you use an engine stand mounting to the surface to which the
transmission mounts.
a. Before removing the drive plate, put a match mark (A) on the crankshaft and drive plate for alignment during installation.
b. Remove the drive plate. • Holding the crankshaft pulley bolt, lock the crankshaft to remove the drive plate bolts.
• Loosen the bolts diagonally.CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the drive plate. Especiallyavoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
• Place the drive plate with th e signal plate surface facing
other than downward.
• Keep magnetic materials away from the signal plate.
CAUTION:
Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [a pproximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adeq uate, remove the following parts beforehand to
reduce the potential risk of overturning the stand.
- Remove the fuel tube and fuel injector assembly. Refer to EM-40, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-26, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-37, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-38, "
Removal and Installation".
- Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure th e engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
34. Remove the generator, if necessary. Refer to CHG-21, "
Removal and Installation".
35. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool, if necessary.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.

• Tighten engine mounting bracket bolts in numerical order as
shown.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or tr ansmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels m ay cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting the engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If the levels are
lower than required quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-13, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to the fuel piping, check for fuel leakage at the connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down the engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to
specified level if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid, power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
