INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolts Diameter

Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2
exceeds the limit, replace the bolt with a new one.

If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than d2, use
it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new cylinder head gasket.
2. Install the cylinder head. Follow the steps below to tighten the
bolts in the numerical order shown.
CAUTION:

If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters
before installation. Refer to EM-60, "
Cylinder Head Bolts
Diameter" .
a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of the bolts.
b. Measure the tightening angle using Tool.
CAUTION:
Measure the tightening angle using Tool. Do not measure
visually.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.18 mm (0.0071 in)

12. Install the connecting rod bearings to the connecting rod and
connecting rod cap.

When installing the connecting rod bearings, apply engine oil
to the bearing surface (inside). Do not apply oil to the back
surface, but thoroughly clean it.

When installing, align the connecting rod bearing stopper pro-
trusion with the cutout of the connecting rod to install.

Check that the oil holes on the connecting rod and those on
the corresponding bearing are aligned.
13. Install the piston and connecting rod assembly to the crankshaft
using Tool.

Position the crankshaft pin corresponding to the connecting
rod to be installed onto bottom dead center.

Apply engine oil sufficiently to the cylinder bore, piston, and
crankshaft pin.

Match the cylinder position with the cylinder No. on the con-
necting rod to install.

Install the piston with the front mark on the piston crown fac-
ing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the crankshaft pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting
rod big end.
14. Install connecting rod cap.

Match the stamped cylinder number marks on the connecting
rod with those on the cylinder cap to install.
15. Tighten connecting rod bolts using Tool.

Apply engine oil to threads and seats of connecting rod bolts.

After tightening bolts, make sure the crankshaft rotates
smoothly.

Check connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-89, "CON-
NECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE"

d. Disconnect the fuel filler hose from the fuel filler pipe.
e. Insert a suitable hose into the fuel tank through the fuel filler hose to drain the fuel from the fuel tank.

As a guide, the fuel level reaches the fuel gauge position as shown, or less, when approximately 14
liters (3 3/4 US gal, 3 1/8 Imp gal) of fuel are drained from the fuel tank.
3. Release the fuel pressure from the fuel lines. Refer to EC-93, "
FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE" .
4. Remove the second row LH rear seat and the third row rear seat. Refer to SE-104, "
REAR SEAT" .
5. Remove the second and third row rear seat belt buckles mounted on the floor. Refer to SB-3, "
SEAT
BELTS" .
6. Remove the LH center pillar trim, the LH rear trim panel, and the LH rear side door kick plate and weather
stripping. Refer to EI-35, "
BODY SIDE TRIM" .
7. Remove the second row rear center console and base, if equipped. Refer to EI-37, "
FLOOR TRIM" .
8. Reposition the floor carpet out of the way to access the inspection hole cover, located under the center LH
rear seat.
9. Remove the inspection hole cover by turning the retainers 90°
degrees clockwise.

Remove the o-ring.
10. Disconnect the fuel level sensor, fuel filter, and fuel pump
assembly electrical connector, the EVAP hose, and the fuel feed
hose.

Disconnect the quick connector as follows:

Hold the sides of the connector, push in tabs and pull out the
tube.

If the connector and the tube are stuck together, push and pull
several times until they start to move. Then disconnect them

CUSTOMER INTERVIEW
Interview the customer if possible, to determine the conditions that exist when the noise occurs. Use the Diag-
nostic Worksheet during the interview to document the facts and conditions when the noise occurs and any
customer's comments; refer to GW-9, "
Diagnostic Worksheet" . This information is necessary to duplicate the
conditions that exist when the noise occurs.

The customer may not be able to provide a detailed description or the location of the noise. Attempt to
obtain all the facts and conditions that exist when the noise occurs (or does not occur).

If there is more than one noise in the vehicle, be sure to diagnose and repair the noise that the customer
is concerned about. This can be accomplished by test driving the vehicle with the customer.

After identifying the type of noise, isolate the noise in terms of its characteristics. The noise characteristics
are provided so the customer, service adviser and technician are all speaking the same language when
defining the noise.

Squeak —(Like tennis shoes on a clean floor)
Squeak characteristics include the light contact/fast movement/brought on by road conditions/hard sur-
faces = higher pitch noise/softer surfaces = lower pitch noises/edge to surface = chirping.

Creak—(Like walking on an old wooden floor)
Creak characteristics include firm contact/slow movement/twisting with a rotational movement/pitch
dependent on materials/often brought on by activity.

Rattle—(Like shaking a baby rattle)
Rattle characteristics include the fast repeated contact/vibration or similar movement/loose parts/missing
clip or fastener/incorrect clearance.

Knock —(Like a knock on a door)
Knock characteristics include hollow sounding/sometimes repeating/often brought on by driver action.

Tick—(Like a clock second hand)
Tick characteristics include gentle contacting of light materials/loose components/can be caused by driver
action or road conditions.

Thump—(Heavy, muffled knock noise)
Thump characteristics include softer knock/dead sound often brought on by activity.

Buzz—(Like a bumble bee)
Buzz characteristics include high frequency rattle/firm contact.

Often the degree of acceptable noise level will vary depending upon the person. A noise that you may
judge as acceptable may be very irritating to the customer.

Weather conditions, especially humidity and temperature, may have a great effect on noise level.
