CAUTION:
+After removing timing chain, do not turn crankshaft and
camshaft separately, or valves will strike piston heads.
+When installing chain tensioner, oil seats, or other sliding
parts, lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
+Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces
when installing camshaft sprocket and crankshaft pulley.
+When removing oil pump assembly, remove camshaft
position sensor (PHASE), then remove timing chain from
engine.
+Be careful not to damage sensor edges.

WARNING:
+Position vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
+Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
+Do 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.
+Before disconnecting fuel hose, release pressure.
Refer to EC-38, ªFuel Pressure Releaseº.
+Be sure to lift engine and transaxle in a safe manner.
+For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach
proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:
+When lifting engine, be sure to clear surrounding parts.
Use special care near accelerator wire casing, brake lines
and brake master cylinder.
+When lifting the engine, always use engine slingers in a
safe manner.
+When removing drive shaft, be careful not to damage
grease seal of transaxle.
+Before separating engine and transaxle, remove crank-
shaft position sensor (POS) from the cylinder block
assembly.
+Always be extra careful not to damage edge of crankshaft
position sensor (POS), or signal plate teeth.
Engine cannot be removed separately from transaxle. Remove
engine with transaxle as an assembly.
