 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:0000000006289515
 Use angle wrench [SST: KV10112100 (BT8653-A)] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
- Cylinder head bolts
- Main bearing cap bolts
- Main bearing cap sub bolts
- Connecting rod cap bolts
- Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angletightening)
 Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precaution for Liquid GasketINFOID:0000000006289516
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
 After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating sur- face using the seal cutter [SST:KV10111100 (J-37228)] (A) and
remove old liquid gasket sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
 Tap the seal cutter to insert it (B), and then slide it (C) by tapping on the side as shown in the figure.
 In areas where the seal cutter is difficult to use, lightly tap the parts using a plastic hammer to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper (A), remove old liquid gasket adhering to the liq- uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
 Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the liquidgasket 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.
3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (commercial ser- vice tool).
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
4. Apply liquid gasket without gaps to the specified location accord- ing to the specified dimensions.
 If there is a groove for liquid gasket application, apply liquidgasket to the groove.

PRECAUTIONS
 Before jacking up the vehicle, apply wheel chocks or other tireblocks to the wheels to prevent t he vehicle from moving. After jack-
ing up the vehicle, support the vehicle weight with safety stands at
the points designated for proper lifting before working on the vehi-
cle.
These operations should be done on a level surface.
 When removing a heavy component such as the engine or tran- saxle/transmission, be careful not to lose your balance and drop
them. Also, do not allow them to strike adjacent parts, especially
the brake tubes and master cylinder.
 Before starting repairs which do not require battery power: Turn off ignition switch.
Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
 If the battery terminals are disconnected, recorded memory of
radio and each control unit is erased.
 To prevent serious burns: Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
 Dispose of drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
 Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
 Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
 Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers,
cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
 Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
 Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
 Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
 After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
 Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
 Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
 Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
 When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems, check all affected lines for leakage.
