CAUTION:
Always use a fully changed battery to obtain specified engine speed.

If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.

If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated with
combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head, cylinder head
gasket). After the checking, measure compression pressure again.

If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark plug
hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
–If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged. Check the
piston rings and replace if necessary.
–If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be mal-
functioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.

If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression remains
low even after the addition of engine oil, cylinder head gasket is leaking. In such a case, replace cylin-
der head gasket.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
10. Start engine, and make sure that engine runs smoothly.
11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC appears, erase it. Refer to EC-394, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" .
Removal and InstallationBBS004W7
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine assembly from vehicle, and separate front suspension member and transaxle from
engine. Refer to EM-223, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Install engine sub-attachment with engine stand shaft [SST: KV10117001 and KV10106500] to right side
of cylinder block, then lift engine, and mount it onto engine stand [SST: ST0501S000]. Refer to EM-228,
"CYLINDER BLOCK" .

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.

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.

CAUTION:

Every time the vehicle is lifted up, maintain the complete vehicle curb condition.

Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the front side (engine,
transmission, suspension etc.), support a jack up point on the rear side garage jack with a mission
jack or equivalent.

Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle,
suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the front side garage jack with a mission jack or
equivalent.

Be careful not to smash or do not do anything that would affect piping parts.
Garage Jack and Safety Stand and 2-Pole LiftBAS0007S
WARNING:

Park the vehicle on a level surface when using the jack. Make sure to avoid damaging pipes,
tubes, etc. under the vehicle.

Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands when
you have to get under the vehicle.

Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.

When lifting the vehicle, open the lift arms as wide as possible and ensure that the front and rear
of the vehicle are well balanced.

When setting the lift arm, do not allow the arm to contact the brake tubes, brake cable, fuel lines
and sill spoiler.
