Removal
CAUTION:
lAfter removing the timing chain, do not turn crankshaft
and camshaft separately, or valves will strike piston
heads.
lWhen installing chain tensioners or other sliding parts,
lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
lApply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces
when installing camshaft sprockets and crankshaft pul-
ley.
lDo not spill engine coolant on drive belts.
UPPER TIMING CHAIN
1. Remove air duct assembly.
2. Remove vacuum hoses, electrical harness connectors and
harness clamps.
3. Remove power steering drive belt.
4. Remove power steering pump and position it to one side.
5. Remove power steering pump bracket.
6. Remove idler pulley and bracket as well.
7. Remove ignition wires and spark plugs.
8. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its compression stroke.
9. Remove rocker cover.
Remove in numerical order as shown.
10. Remove camshaft sprocket cover.

WARNING:
lPosition vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
lPlace chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
lDo not remove engine until exhaust system has com-
pletely cooled off.
Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break
out in fuel line.
lBefore disconnecting fuel hose, release fuel pressure.
Refer to EC section (ªFuel Pressure Releaseº, ªBASIC
SERVICE PROCEDUREº).
lBe sure to hoist engine and transmission in a safe man-
ner.
lFor engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATA-
LOG.
CAUTION:
lWhen lifting engine, be sure to clear surrounding parts.
Take special care near accelerator wire casing, brake
lines and brake master cylinder.
lIn hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
lFor 4WD models, apply sealant between engine and
transmission. Refer to MT section (ªRemoval and Instal-
lationº).
Removal
1. Drain coolant from engine block and radiator. Refer to MA
section (ªChanging Engine Coolantº, ªENGINE MAINTE-
NANCEº).
2. Release fuel pressure. Refer to EC section (ªFuel Pressure
Releaseº, ªBASIC SERVICE PROCEDUREº).
3. Remove negative battery cable.
4. Remove hood. Refer to BT section.
5. Remove air cleaner and air duct.
6. Remove power steering drive belt, alternator drive belt and
A/C compressor drive belt.
7. Remove radiator. Refer to LC section (ªRadiatorº, ªENGINE
COOLING SYSTEMº).
8. Remove exhaust manifold heat shield.
9. Disconnect exhaust system from exhaust manifold.
10. Remove A/C compressor from bracket. Refer to HA section
(ªCompressor Mountingº, ªSERVICE PROCEDURESº).
11. Disconnect accelerator wire, vacuum hoses, electrical
connectors, heater hoses and vacuum booster hose.
