DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, some steps may be different.
1. Remove engine assembly and mount to engine stand. Refer to EM-74, "
Removal and Installation" .
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure engine stand is stable and there is no risk of over-
turning.
2. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
3. Drain engine coolant by removing the cylinder block drain plugs “A”, “B ”, “C” and “D ” as shown.
4. Remove the following components and associated parts (the parts referred to in step 1 are not included here).

Oil pan (upper and lower) and oil strainer. Refer to EM-24, "Removal and Installation" .

Crankshaft pulley, front cover and timing chain. Refer to EM-37, "Removal and Installation" .

Camshaft. Refer to EM-46, "Removal and Installation" .

Cylinder head. Refer to EM-64, "Removal and Installation" .
5. Remove knock sensor and sub harness.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle sensor, avoiding shocks.
6. Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-94, "
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
7. Remove piston and connecting rod assembly as follows.
a. Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting rod to be removed onto bottom dead center.

18. Remove pilot converter using Tool if necessary.
ASSEMBLY
1. Fully air-blow the coolant and oil passages in the cylinder block, cylinder bore, and crankcase to removeany foreign material.
CAUTION:
Use goggles to protect your eyes.
2. Install each plug to the cylinder block (only screw-type plugs are shown).

Apply liquid gasket.
Use Genuine Thread Sealant or equivalent. Refer to GI-
46, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".

Replace copper washers with new ones.

Tighten each plug as specified below.
3. Install main bearings and thrust bearings.
a. Remove any dust, dirt, and oil on the bearing mating surfaces of the cylinder block and main bearing caps.
b. Install thrust bearings to both sides of the No. 3 journal housing on the cylinder block and main bearing caps

Install thrust bearings with the oil groove facing the crankshaft
arm (outside).

Install thrust bearings with a protrusion in the center on the
main bearing caps.
c. Install main bearings paying attention to the direction.

Install the one with oil holes onto the cylinder block and the
one without oil holes onto the main bearing cap.

Before installing bearings, apply engine oil to bearing surface
(inside). Do not apply oil to the back surface, but thoroughly
clean it.

When installing, align the bearing stopper to the notch.

Ensure the oil holes on the cylinder block and those on the
corresponding bearing are aligned. Tool number : ST16610001 (J-23907)

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: November 20092006 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsEES00253

When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.

Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.

After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.

Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.
