CYLINDER HEAD

*: Measured with head bolts tightened
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket with the tube presser
(special service tool: WS39930000) as shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into oil passage.
B: Minimize the overlapping area of the bead, with start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure.
Apply so that the portion marked * comes at an external loca-
tion but cannot be viewed externally after engine is assembled.
3. Install cylinder head assembly.

Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure
according to the following procedure:
a. Apply engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces.
b. Tighten all bolts.
c. Tighten 180 degrees to 185 degrees [target: 180 degrees]
(angle tightening).
d. Loosen completely in reverse order of that shown in the figure.
e. Tighten all bolts.
f. Tighten 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees] (angle
tightening).
g. Tighten another 90 degrees to 95 degrees [target: 90 degrees]
(angular tightening).
CAUTION:

When the angle wrench (special service tool) is not used, paint an alignment mark on the head
of cylinder head bolt and cylinder head surface before tightening. Check the angle with a pro-
tractor.

WARNING:

Situate vehicle on a flat and solid surface.

Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.

For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach proper slingers and bolts described in
PARTS CATALOG.
CAUTION:

Always be careful to work safely, avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Do not start working until exhaust system and engine coolant are cool enough.

If items or work required are not covered by the engine main body section, refer to the applicable
sections.

Always use the support point specified for lifting.

Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for
unavoidable reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with transmission jack or similar tool
before starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-36, "Garage Jack and
Safety Stand" .

ENGINE ASSEMBLY

Removal
1. Install engine slingers into front right of cylinder head and rear
left of cylinder head.
2. Lift with hoist and secure engine in position.

Use the manual lift table caddy (commercial service tool) or
equivalently rigid tool such as a jack or trestle. Securely support
bottom of engine and transaxle, and simultaneously adjust hoist
tension.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or something similar as the supporting
surface, secure a completely stable condition.

ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .

Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Before starting engine, check the levels of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. If less than
required quantity, fill to the specified level.

Before starting engine, bleed air from fuel piping. Refer to FL-18, "Air Bleeding" .

Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of engine coolant, lubricants, working
engine oil, fuel and exhaust gas.

Bleed air from passages in pipes and tubes of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

After cooling down engine, again check amounts of engine coolant, engine oil and working fluid. Refill to
specified level, if necessary.
