c. Press-fit the rear oil seal using a suitable drift (A) with outer
diameter 113 mm (4.45 in) and inner diameter 90 mm (3.54 in).
• Press-fit to the specified dimensions as shown.
CAUTION:
• Do not touch the grease applied to the oil seal lip.
• Be careful not to damage the rear oil seal mounting partof oil pan (upper) and cylinder block or the crankshaft.
• Press-fit straight and check that oil seal does not curl or tilt.
d. After press-fitting the rear oil seal, completely wipe off any liquid gasket protruding to rear end surface side.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak- age at 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 engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
• If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the stan- dard, replace valve spring (with valve spring seat).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks
at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

WARNING:
• Position the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
• Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
• Attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG if engine is not already equipped.
CAUTION:
• Always be careful to work safely.
• Do not start working until exhaust system and coolant are cool enough.
• If items or work required are not covered by th e engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type must be used, support the rear axle
jacking point with a transmission jack or similar to ol before starting work, in preparation for the
backward shift of center of gravity.
• For supporting points for lifting and j acking point at rear axle, refer to GI-29, "
2-Pole Lift".
