< REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION >[MR18DE]
ENGINE ASSEMBLY
 When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the directions. Refer to EM-207, "Com-
ponent".
 Prior to installing the upper torque rod, apply a light coat of silicone
lubricant (A) to the washer facing side of the bushing inner tube as
shown.
NOTE:
 Apply silicone lubricant (A) by dabbing the outward facing tube
surface with a sponge or suitable tool.
 Do not apply excess lubricant.
 Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten nuts and bolts.
 Tighten engine mounting insulator (RH) bolts in the numerical
order shown.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.
 Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to LU-15, "
Inspection", CO-35, "Inspection".
 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.
 Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids includ-
ing engine oil and engine coolant.
 Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
 After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly from vehicle, separate transaxle from engine. Refer to EM-207.
2. Install engine to engine stand as follows;
a. Remove flywheel.
 Secure flywheel using Tool (A), and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch contact surface for
clutch disc of flywheel.
b. Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.
CAUTION:
 Use the engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 135 kg (298 lb) or more] large
enough for supporting the engine weight.
 If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten-
tial risk of overturning stand.
- Exhaust manifold; Refer to EM-159
.
- Rocker cover; Refer to EM-173, "
Removal and Installation".

 If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
Movement Amount in Radial (Rotation) Direction
Check the movement amount of radial (rotation) direction with the following procedure:
1. Install clutch cover bolt (1) to clutch cover mating hole, and
place a torque wrench (A) on the extended line of the flywheel
(2) center line.
 Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep it
from loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel
masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction,
and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
4. Measure the dimensions of movement amounts “A” and “B” on
circumference of the flywheel on the transaxle side.
 If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.Limit: 33.2 mm (1.307 in) or less.
