PRECAUTIONS
When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.
Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassemling with dowel pins, make
sure that dowel pins are installed in the original portion.
Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.
Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.
Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.
Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine
stopped). Then make sure that there are no leaks at fuel line connections.
After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust gases for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angle TighteningBBS005KN
Use angle wrench [SST: KV10112100] for the final tightening of the following engine parts.
–Cylinder head bolts
–Lower cylinder block bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)
–Balancer unit
Do not use a torque value for final tightening.
The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.
Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.
Precautions For Liquid GasketBBS005KO
REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET
After removing the mounting nuts and bolts, separate the mating
surface using seal cutter (SST) and remove the old liquid gasket
sealing.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
Tap seal cutter to insert it, and then slide it by tapping on the
side as shown in the figure.
In areas where seal cutter is difficult to use, use plastic hammer
to lightly tap the areas where the liquid gasket is applied.
CAUTION:
If for some unavoidable reason tool such as screwdriver is
used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.
LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the liq-
uid gasket application surface and the mating surface.
Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the
liquid gasket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt
holes.
2. Wipe the liquid gasket application surface and the mating sur-
face with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove
adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to the tube presser (SST).
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.
4. Apply the liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location
with the specified dimensions.
If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside
the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the
holes. Make sure to read the text of service manual.
Within 5 minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mating
component.
If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Do not retighten mounting bolts or nut after the installation.
Wait 30 minutes or more after installation before refilling
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe
them.

Checking Drive BeltsBBS0058S
WARNING:
Be sure to perform this step when the engine is stopped.
Make sure that the indicator (notch on fixed side) of drive belt auto-tensioner is within the possible use
range (between three line notches on moving side).
NOTE:
Check the drive belt auto-tensioner indication when engine is cold.
When new drive belt is installed, the indicator (notch on fixed side) should be within the range “a” in the
figure.
Visually check entire belt for wear, damage or cracks.
If the indicator (notch on fixed side) is out of the possible use range or belt is damaged, replace drive belt.
Tension AdjustmentBBS0058T
Belt tensioning is not necessary, as it is automatically adjusted by drive belt auto-tensioner.
Removal and InstallationBBS0058U
REMOVAL
1. Remove splash guard (RH).
2. With box wrench, and while securely holding the hexagonal part
in center of drive belt auto-tensioner pulley, move the wrench
handle in the direction of arrow (loosening direction of ten-
sioner).
CAUTION:
Avoid placing hand in a location where pinching may
occur if the holding tool accidentally comes off.
Do not loosen the hexagonal part in center of drive belt
auto-tensioner pulley (Do not turn it counterclockwise). If
turned counterclockwise, the complete drive belt auto-
tensioner must be replaced as a unit, including the pul-
ley.
3. Insert a rod approximately 6 mm (0.24 in) in diameter such as short-length screwdriver into the hole of the
retaining boss to fix drive belt auto-tensioner pulley.
4. Loosen drive belt from water pump pulley in sequence, and remove it.
