Precaution for Assembly and InstallationINFOID:0000000001325756
 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 specified,
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.
 Guide pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling parts with guide pins, make sure that guide pins are installed in the original portion.
 Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely re move foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
 Release air within route when refilling after draining engine coolant.
 After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust gases for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angle TighteningINFOID:0000000001325757
 Use angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Connecting rod cap nuts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angletightening)
 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 coated with engine oil.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000001325758
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
 After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating sur- face using seal cutter (SST) and remove old liquid gasket sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
 Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the side
as shown in the figure.
 In areas where seal cutter (SST) is difficult to use, use plastic ham-
mer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reaso n tool such as screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liquid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
 Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquid
gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur- face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

CAMSHAFT
 Install dial indicator in thrust direction on front end of camshaft.
Measure the end play of dial indicator when camshaft is moved for-
ward/backward (in direction to axis).
 Measure the following parts if out of the limit.
- Dimension “A” for camshaft No. 1 journal
- Dimension “B” for cylinder head No. 1 journal bearing
 Refer to the standards above, and then replace camshaft and/or cylinder head.
Camshaft Sprocket Runout
1. Put V-block on precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 journal of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support journal No. 1 (on the side of cam shaft sprocket) because it has a different diameter
from the other four locations.
2. Measure the camshaft sprocket runout with dial indicator. (Total indicator reading)
 If it exceeds the limit, replace camshaft sprocket.
Valve Lifter
Check if surface of valve lifter has any wear or cracks.
 If anything above is found, replace valve lifter. Refer to EM-218,
"Valve Clearance".

DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separa te front suspension member, transmission and front
final drive from engine. Refer to EM-237, "
Component".
2. Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to widely use engine stand. NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use wi dely use engine holding the surface, to which trans-
mission is installed.
a. Remove drive plate.  Holding ring gear with ring gear stopper (SST).
 Loosen mounting bolts diagonally order.
CAUTION:
 Do not disassemble drive plate.
 Do not place drive plate with signal plate facing down.
