WARNING:

Situate the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, refer to the applicable sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-36, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

CYLINDER BLOCK


Using a piston ring compressor (special service tool) or suit-
able tool, install piston with the front mark on the piston head
facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft
pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.
11. Install connecting rod cap.

Match the stamped cylinder number marks on connecting rod
with those on connecting rod cap to install.
12. Tighten connecting rod bolt with the following procedure:
a. Apply new engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.
b. Tighten bolts.
c. Then turn all bolts 90 degrees clockwise (Angle tightening).
CAUTION:
Check and confirm the tightening angle by using an angle
wrench (special service tool) or protractor. Avoid judge-
ment by visual inspection without the tool.

After tightening connecting rod bolt, make sure that crankshaft rotates smoothly.

Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-107, "CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
13. Install flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (A/T models).
CAUTION:
Make sure that dowel pin is installed at the rear end of crankshaft.

When installing flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (A/T models) to crankshaft, make sure that align
crankshaft side dowel pin with flywheel/drive-plate side dowel pin hole correctly.
CAUTION:
If these are not aligned correctly, engine runs roughly and “MI” turns on.

Secure crankshaft with a stopper plate, and tighten mounting bolts crosswise over several times.

CAUTION:

Before removing and installing fuel pump, be sure to remove sprocket. Do not loosen or remove
installation nut in the center of fuel pump. If loosened or removed, replace fuel pump.

After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and camshaft separately, or valves will strike
piston heads.

When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seals, or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting
surfaces with new engine oil.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine coolant reservoir tank. Refer to CO-35, "RADIATOR" .
