Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-248, "
CYLIN-
DER BLOCK DISTORTION" .
1. Wipe off oil and remove scale, gasket, sealant and carbon deposits from surface of cylinder head with
scraper.
CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for engine oil or engine coolant.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head,
measure the distortion in six directions.

If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new cylinder head gaskets.
2. Turn crankshaft until No. 1 piston is set at TDC.

Crankshaft key should line up with the right bank cylinder cen-
ter line as shown in the figure.
3. Install cylinder head follow the steps below to tighten cylinder
head bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
a. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces of cylinder
head bolts.
b. Tighten all cylinder head bolts.
c. Completely loosen all cylinder head bolts.
CAUTION:
In step “c”, loosen bolts in the reverse order of that indi-
cated in the figure.
d. Tighten all cylinder head bolts.Limit : 0.1 mm (0.004 in)

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The following are procedures for checking fluids leak, lubricates leak and exhaust gases leak.

Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-14, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
–Turn ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel
leakage at connection points.
–Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gases, or any oil/fluids
including engine oil and engine coolant.

Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.
Summary of the inspection items:
* Transmission/transaxle/CVT fluid. power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

6. Remove front suspension member mounting nuts and bolts. Refer to FSU-5, "FRONT SUSPENSION
ASSEMBLY" .
7. Carefully lower engine, transaxle and front suspension member assembly. When performing work,
observe the following caution.
CAUTION:

Confirm there is no interference with vehicle.

Make sure that all connection points have been disconnected.

Keep in mind the center of vehicle gravity changes. If necessary, use jack(s) to support vehicle
at rear jacking point(s) to prevent it from falling it off the lift.
Separation Work
1. Remove power steering oil pump, power steering piping and power steering bracket from engine and tran-
saxle assembly. Refer to PS-39, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
2. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-14, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
3. Disconnect harness connector of engine mounting insulators (front and rear).
4. Remove engine mounting (front) and engine mounting (rear) through-bolts.
5. Lift with hoist and separate engine and transaxle assembly from front suspension member.
CAUTION:
Before and during this lifting, always make sure that any harnesses are not connected.
6. Remove each engine mounting insulator and each engine mounting bracket from engine, transaxle and
front suspension member.
7. Separate engine and transaxle. Refer to AT- 2 4 1 , "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" (A/T), CVT-193, "TRAN-
SAXLE ASSEMBLY" (CVT).
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no engine oil gets on it.

For a path with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-223, "Removal and
Installation" .

Make sure all engine mounting insulators are seated properly, then tighten nuts and bolts.

INSTALLATION

Installation is the reverse order of the removal. For tightening torque, refer to FSU-7, "Components" .
NOTE:
Do not reuse non-reusable parts.

Perform final tightening of each of parts under unladen conditions, which were removed when removing
coil spring and strut. Check the wheel alignment. Refer to FSU-5, "
Wheel Alignment Inspection" .

Adjust neutral position of steering angle sensor after checking the wheel alignment for models with VDC.
Refer to BRC-40, "
Adjustment of Steering Angle Sensor Neutral Position" .

Check wheel sensor harness for proper connection. Refer to BRC-33, "WHEEL SENSORS" .

Be sure that the identification letters on mounting insulator face
in the direction shown in the figure, and then install strut assem-
bly to the vehicle.

DISASSEMBLY
CAUTION:
Do not damage strut piston rod when removing components from strut.
1. Install strut attachment [SST] to strut and secure it in a vise.
CAUTION:
Wrap a shop cloth around strut to protect it from damage
when installing strut attachment [SST] to strut.
2. Compress coil spring between upper rubber seat and lower rub-
ber seat (strut) using spring compressor (commercial service
tool) until coil spring is free.
CAUTION:
Start compressing coil spring after making sure that the
compressor is completely attached to coil spring.
3. Make sure that coil spring with the compressor is free between
spring upper rubber seat and lower spring seat (strut), and then
remove piston rod lock nut while securing the end of piston rod
so as not to rotate piston rod.
4. Remove mounting insulator bracket, mounting bearing, spring
upper seat, spring upper rubber seat, bound bumper from strut.
5. Remove coil spring with the compressor, and then gradually release the compressor.
CAUTION:
Loosen the compressor while checking installation position so that compressor is installed to the
correct position.
6. Remove lower spring seat from strut.
7. Remove strut attachment [SST] from strut.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT


Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or
hitting it.

Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to
rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it.
If water is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in
the vehicle.

Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.

Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.

Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the
upper and lower covers.

When using a DMM, be careful not to let test probes get close to
each other to prevent the power transistor in the control unit
from damaging battery voltage because of short circuiting.

When checking input and output signals of the control unit, use
the specified check adapter.
