PRECAUTIONS


When tightening bolts and nuts, 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 speci-
fied, 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.

Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove 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 TighteningBBS007TV

Use angle wrench [SST: KV10112100] for the final tightening of the following engine parts:
–Cylinder head bolts
–Main bearing cap bolts
–Connecting rod cap nuts (VQ23DE)
–Connecting rod cap bolts (VQ35DE)
–Crankshaft pulley bolt

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.
Precautions for Liquid GasketBBS007TW
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING

After removing mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface 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
hammer to lightly tap the parts, to remove it.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason 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 gasket
application surface and the mating surface.

Remove liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gas-
ket 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 tube presser (SST).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply liq-
uid gasket to the groove.

As for the bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.

Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating
component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten mounting bolts or nuts after the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe
them.

DRIVE BELTS

DRIVE BELTSPFP:02117
Checking Drive BeltsBBS004VM
WARNING:
Be sure to perform the following when engine is stopped.
1. Inspect belts for cracks, fraying, wear and oil. If necessary, replace.
2. Inspect drive belt deflection at a point on the belt midway
between pulleys.

Inspection should be done only when engine is cold, or over
30 minutes after engine is stopped.

When measuring deflection, apply 98 N (10 kg, 22 lb) at the
marked point.

Adjust if belt deflection exceeds the limit.
CAUTION:

When checking belt deflection immediately after installa-
tion, first adjust it to the specified value. Then, after turning
crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified
value to avoid variation in deflection between pulleys.

Release the tension by loosing lock nut and turning adjust-
ing bolt when adjusting the belt. Tighten once the lock nut
at 4.9 N·m (0.50 Kg-m, 43 in-lb). Then, adjust the belt ten-
sion by loosing lock nut between 45° and 90°.
Belt Deflection
Tension AdjustmentBBS004VN
CAUTION:

When belt is replaced with a new one, adjust it to value for “New belt” to accommodate for insuffi-
cient adaptability with pulley grooves.

When deflection of belt being used exceeds “Limit”, adjust it to value for “After adjustment”.

When checking belt deflection immediately after installation, first adjust it to the specified value.
Then, after turning crankshaft two turns or more, re-adjust to the specified value to avoid variation
in deflection between pulleys.

When installing belt, make sure that it is correctly engaged with pulley groove.
