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.

enough for supporting the engine weight [approximately
135 kg (298 lb) or more].
• Before removing the hanging chains, check the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support mating surface of transaxle with drive plate
removed.
• Remove the following parts if the engine stand load capacity is not adequate, to reduce the potential risk of overturning stand:
- Intake manifold. Refer to EM-30, "Removal and Installation"
.
- Exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-33, "Removal and Installation"
.
- Rocker cover. Refer to EM-45, "Removal and Installation"
.
