ENGINE ASSEMBLY
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. Especially
avoid deforming and damaging of the signal plate teeth
(circumference position).
• Place the drive plate with the 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 [approximately 240kg (529 lb) or more] large enough
for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, 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-31, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the intake manifold. Refer to EM-17, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the ignition coil. Refer to EM-28, "
Removal and Installation".
- Remove the rocker cover. Refer to EM-35, "
Removal and Installation".
- Other removable brackets.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine stand is stable and there is no risk of
overturning.
31. Remove the generator. Refer to SC-22, "
Removal and Installation".
32. Remove the engine mounting insulator and bracket using power tool.
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.
• Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may 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-10, "
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.
