INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:

When replacing an engine or transmission you must make sure the dowels are installed correctly
during re-assembly.

Improper alignment caused by missing dowels may cause vibration, oil leaks or breakage of driv-
etrain components.

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.

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 engine coolant, engine oil, working fluid,
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.

5. Drain engine coolant by removing cylinder block drain plug “A”,
“B”, “C” and “D” as shown.
6. Remove the following components and associated parts (The parts listed in step 3 are not included here.)

Oil pan and oil strainer. Refer to EM-22, "REMOVAL" .

Crankshaft pulley, front cover and timing chain. Refer to EM-36, "REMOVAL" .

Camshaft. Refer to EM-43, "REMOVAL" .

Cylinder head. Refer to EM-60, "REMOVAL" .
7. Remove knock sensor.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle the sensor, avoiding shocks.
8. Remove the piston and connecting rod assembly as follows.

Before removing the piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance.
Refer to EM-89, "
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
a. Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead cen-
ter.
b. Remove the connecting rod cap.
c. Push the piston and connecting rod assembly out to the cylinder
head side using suitable tool.
9. Remove the connecting rod bearings.
CAUTION:
When removing them, note the installation position. Keep them in the correct order.
10. Remove the piston rings from the piston using suitable tool.
CAUTION:

When removing the piston rings, be careful not to dam-
age the piston.

Be careful not to damage piston rings by expanding them
excessively.

Before removing the piston rings, check the piston ring side
clearance. Refer to EM-90, "
PISTON RING SIDE CLEARANCE"

3. Attach liquid gasket tube to Tool.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to
GI-45, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants" .
4. Apply liquid gasket without breaks to the specified location with
the specified dimensions.

If there is a groove for liquid gasket application, apply liquid
gasket to the groove.

As for bolt holes, normally apply liquid gasket inside the
holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.

Within five minutes of liquid gasket application, install the mat-
ing component.

If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

Do not retighten nuts or bolts after the installation.

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
engine oil and engine coolant.
CAUTION:
If there are specific instructions in this manual, observe
them.Tool number : WS39930000 ( — )

PRECAUTIONS
Revision: August 20072004 QX56
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
PrecautionsEES0010D

When installing the rubber bushings, the final tightening must be done under unladen condition and with
the tires on level ground. Oil will shorten the life of the rubber bushings, so wipe off any spilled oil immedi-
ately.

Unladen condition means the fuel tank, engine coolant and lubricants are at the full specification. The
spare tire, jack, hand tools, and mats are in their designated positions.

After installing suspension components, check the wheel alignment.

Lock nuts are not reusable. Always use new lock nuts for installation. New lock nuts are pre-oiled, do not
apply any additional lubrication.
