1. General Precautions
1) Before disassembling engine, place it on ST3.
ST1 498457000 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER RH
ST2 498457100 ENGINE STAND ADAPTER LH
ST3 499817000 ENGINE STAND
2) All parts should be thoroughly cleaned, paying special
attention to the engine oil passages, pistons and bearings.
3) Rotating parts and sliding parts such as piston, bearing
and gear should be coated with oil prior to assembly.
4) Be careful not to let oil, grease or coolant contact the
timing belt, clutch disc and flywheel.
5) All removed parts, if to be reused, should be reinstalled
in the original positions and directions.
6) Gaskets and lock washers must be replaced with new
ones. Liquid gasket should be used where specified to
prevent leakage.
7) Bolts, nuts and washers should be replaced with new
ones as required.
8) Even if necessary inspections have been made in
advance, proceed with assembly work while making
rechecks.

rotation direction) on timing belt fade away, put new marks
before removing timing belt as follows:
(1) Turn crankshaft using ST, and align alignment
marks on crankshaft sprocket, left-hand intake cam-
shaft sprocket, left-hand exhaust camshaft sprocket,
right-hand intake camshaft sprocket and right hand
exhaust camshaft sprocket with notches of belt cover
and cylinder block.
