7. Remove fuel tube and fuel injector assembly.
●Release clip and remove it.
●Pull fuel injector straight out of fuel tube.
●Be careful not to damage nozzle part.
●Avoid any impact such as a dropping.
●Do not disassemble or adjust it.
INSTALLATION
1. Install O-rings to fuel injector paying attention to the items below.
●Lubricate O-rings by smearing new engine oil.
●Be careful not to scratch it with a tool or fingernails dur-
ing installation. Also be careful not to twist or stretch O-
ring. If O-ring was stretched while it is attached, do no
insert it into fuel tube immediately.
2. Install fuel injector to fuel tube with the following procedure.
●Insert clip into clip mounting groove on fuel injector.
●Insert clip so that projection A of fuel injector matches notch A
of the clip.
●Do not reuse clip. Replace it with a new one.
●Be careful to keep clip from interfering with O-ring. If interfer-
ence occurs, replace O-ring.
3. Insert fuel injector into fuel tube with clip attached.
●Insert it while matching it to the axial center.
●Insert fuel injector so that projection B of fuel injector matches
notch B of the clip.
●Make sure that fuel tube flange is securely fixed in flange fixing groove on clip.
●Make sure that installation is complete by checking that fuel injector does not rotate or come off.
4. Install fuel tube assembly with the following procedure.
a. Insert the tip of each fuel injector into intake manifold.

REMOVAL
1. Remove the parts listed below.
●Engine hood
●Engine undercover
●PCV hose
●Ignition coil; Refer to EM-29, "IGNITION COIL" .
●Rocker cover; Refer to EM-35, "ROCKER COVER" .
●Engine coolant reservoir tank
●Drive belt; Refer to EM-12, "REMOVAL" .
●Alternator
●Drive belt auto-tensioner; Refer to EM-13, "REMOVAL" .
●Exhaust front tube; Refer to EX-2, "Removal and Installation" .
2. Remove A/C compressor from engine. Temporarily secure A/C compressor to vehicle side with a rope to
avoid putting a load on them.
3. Remove bracket mounting bolts for fixing A/C piping on right strut housing and exhaust manifold cover.
Doing so simplifies moving.
4. Move power steering pump with piping connected, and secure it to vehicle side temporarily.
5. Pull power steering reservoir tank out of brackets to move power steering piping.
CAUTION:
To avoid power steering fluid leakage, temporarily fix reservoir tank vertically.
6. Suspend engine with a hoist, and support the engine posture.
For installation of engine slingers, refer to EM-69, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
7. Remove RH engine mount insulator.
8. Remove center member and rear engine mounting bracket.
9. Drain engine oil.
10. Remove oil pan upper and lower, and oil strainer. Refer to EM-26, "
OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .
11. Remove intake valve timing control cover.
a. Loosen bolts in reverse order shown in the figure.
b. Remove the cover using Tool (Seal cutter).
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage mounting surface.
12. Pull chain guide between camshaft sprockets out through front
cover.
13. Set No. 1 cylinder at TDC on its compression stroke with the fol-
lowing procedure.
a. Rotate crankshaft pulley clockwise and align mating marks to
timid indicator on front cover.

2. Tighten mounting bolt in the numerical order shown in the figure
with the following procedure, and install balancer unit.
CAUTION:
When reusing a mounting bolt, check its outer diameter
before installation, Refer to EM-41, "
INSPECTION AFTER
REMOVAL" .
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of mounting
bolts.
b. Tighten them to 45.2 to 51.0 N·m (4.6 to 5.2 kg-m, 34 to 37 ft-lb).
c. Turn them another 90 to 95° (Target: 90°).
d. Fully loosen to 0 N·m (0 kg-m, 0 ft-lb).
●Loosen in the reverse order of tightening.
e. Tighten them to 45.2 to 51.0 N·m (4.6 to 5.2 kg-m, 34 to 37 ft-lb).
f. Turn them another 90 to 95° (Target: 90°).
CAUTION:
Check tightening angle with an angle wrench or a protrac-
tor. Do not make judgment by visual check alone.
3. Install crankshaft sprocket and timing chain for balancer unit.
●Make sure that crankshaft sprocket is positioned with mating
marks on block and sprocket meeting at the top.
●Install it by lining up mating marks on each sprocket and tim-
ing chain.
4. Install timing chain tensioner for balancer unit.
NOTE:
Chain guide and tensioner move freely with the caulking pin as
the axle. Therefore, bolt hole position of the three points could
be changed during removal. If points change, temporarily fix the
two mounting bolts on the chain guide, and move the tensioner
to mate the bolt holes.
●Be careful not to let mating marks of each sprocket and timing
chain slip.
●After installation, make sure the mating marks have not
slipped, then remove stopper pin and release tensioner.
