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.

d. Tighten mounting bolts in the numerical order shown in the fig-
ure.
e. After all bolts are tightened, retighten them to specified torque.
CAUTION:
Be sure to wipe off any excessive liquid gasket leaking to
surface for fitting oil pan.
8. Install chain guide between camshaft sprockets.
9. Install intake valve timing control cover with the following procedure.
a. Install intake valve timing control solenoid valves to intake valve timing control cover.
b. Install oil rings to the intake camshaft sprocket insertion points on intake valve timing control backside
cover.
c. Install O-ring to front cover.
d. Apply liquid gasket to the positions in the figure.
Use Genuine Liquid gasket or equivalent.
e. Tighten mounting bolts in the numerical order shown in the fig-
ure.
10. Insert crankshaft pulley by aligning with crankshaft key.
●Tap its center with a plastic hammer to insert.
●Do not tap belt hook.
11. Tighten crankshaft pulley mounting bolt.

Removal and Installation of Valve Oil SealEBS00KNM
REMOVAL
1. Remove camshaft. Refer to EM-46, "CAMSHAFT" .
2. Remove valve lifter. Refer to EM-46, "
CAMSHAFT" .
3. Rotate crankshaft, and set piston whose oil seal is to be
removed to top dead center. This prevents valve from dropping
inside cylinder.
CAUTION:
When rotating crankshaft, be careful to avoid scarring the
front cover with the timing chain.
4. Remove valve collet, valve spring retainer and valve spring with
SST. Refer to EM-59, "
CYLINDER HEAD" .
5. Remove valve oil seal with SST.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to valve oil seal joint surface and seal lip.
2. Press in valve oil seal to the position shown in the figure with
SST.
3. Install followings in the reverse order of removal.
Removal and Installation of Front Oil SealEBS00KNN
REMOVAL
1. Remove the parts listed below.
●Under cover (with splash cover).
●Drive belts. Refer to EM-12, "DRIVE BELTS" .
●Crank pulley. Refer to EM-37, "TIMING CHAIN" .
2. Remove front oil seal.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage front cover and crankshaft.
