Removal and InstallationNJEM0071CAUTION:
When installing bearings, pistons, or other sliding parts,
lubricate contacting surfaces with new engine oil.
Place removed parts such as bearings and bearing caps
in their proper order and direction.
When installing connecting rod nuts, and main bearing
cap bolts, apply new engine oil to threads and seating
surfaces.
Do not allow any magnetic materials to contact the signal
plate of flywheel.
Do not remove the signal plate at back.
Do not place the signal plate side facing under.
Handle with care so as not to damage the signal plate
[especially four places on protrusions for signal of crank
position sensor (TDC sensor)].
DisassemblyNJEM0072PISTON AND CRANKSHAFTNJEM0072S011. Remove engine. Refer to “ENGINE ASSEMBLY”, “Removal
and Installation”, EM-63.
2. Place engine on a work stand.
a. Remove flywheel.
Hold ring gear with ring gear stopper (KV10105630,
KV10105610). Then, loosen securing bolts with TORX socket
(size: Q8 E20, Commercial Service Tool) and remove them.
As an alternative method, hold the crankshaft pulley with a
pulley holder (SST) to remove the flywheel.
JEM192G
b. Install engine sub-attachment (SST) to rear surface of cylinder
block.
To install, align the hole on the sub-attachment with the knock
pin on the cylinder block.
The engine sub-attachment has five bolts.
c. Install engine attachment (SST).
The four sets of bolts and nuts are multi-purpose products.

16. Install rear oil seal retainer.
Apply a continuous bead of specified liquid gasket (Refer to
EM-3, “Liquid Gasket Application Procedure”.) on locations
shown in the figure.
JEM234G
17. Install pilot bushing.
Force fit with the drift [approx. 19 mm (0.75 in) dia.].
SEM513G
18. Install fuel injection pump bracket.
Install insulator according to the shape of the block, and secure
by placing the bracket against the insulator. (Not installed on
some models)
Align the bracket with the dowel pins on the block to install.
The two bolts used for dowel pins have a longer shanks than
the other two.
Check the protruding distance of the dowel pin for fuel injec-
tion pump.
Standard: 13.0 - 15.0 mm (0.512 - 0.591 in)
19. Install parts to the engine in the reverse order of disassembly.
Tighten bolts securing brackets of auxiliary components (A/C
compressor, alternator) to the specified torque.
: 57 - 65 N·m (5.8 - 6.7 kg-m, 42 - 48 ft-lb)
20. Remove engine from engine stand in the reverse order of
assembly.
21. Install flywheel.
Holding ring gear with ring stopper (SST), tighten securing
bolts with TORX-socket (size: Q8 E20, Commercial Service
Tool).
Tighten bolts uniformly in a crisscross manner.
