How to Use this Manual
Range of description
This manual explains the service procedure for the engine after it has been removed from the vehicle. For information on
removing the engine from the vehicle, or "on-vehicle" servicing of the engine, please refer to the separate service manual for
the relevant vehicle model.
Understanding the description
Inspection
The manual only indicates inspection points where special tools or measuring devices are required. It does not mention general
visual checks, part cleaning requirements, and so on, but these must also be carried out as part of the actual service work.
Service sequence
(1) A component diagram is provided at the beginning of each section in order to give the reader a clear
understanding of where the various parts are installed.
(2) The numbers in the component diagram indicate the sequence of the service procedure. Tightening torques
are shown and non-reusable parts are indicated where appropriate
Removal sequence:The part numbers correspond to the numbers in the component diagram and indicate
the removal sequence.
Installation sequence:This is only shown if the parts cannot be installed in the reverse order to the removal
sequence.
Disassembly sequence: The numbers of the part names correspond to the symbols in the component
diagram and indicate the disassembly sequence.
Assembly sequence:This is only shown if the parts cannot be re-assembled in the reverse order to the
disassembly sequence.
Symbols for lubricants and sealants
Application points for lubricants and sealants are
indicated by special symbols (shown right) on the
component parts diagram or on the following page............... Grease
.............. Sealant or liquid gasket (FIPG)
.............. Brake fluid
.............. Engine oil
Types of service points
“Service point” notes are used to give a detailed
description of essential maintenance and service
points, standard values, procedures for using special
tools, and other important information at relevant
points in the service sequence. The different types

Removal Service Point
Removal of ignition coil boot
Note :
• If the ignition coil boot is not installed according to the
specifications, then this can lead to various problems, such
as malfunction of the ignition coil, damage to the ignition coil,
leaking of high voltage to external parts, infiltration of water
into the hole, etc.
• The spark plug coupling section of the ignition coil boot is
coated with a white powder. This coating helps to prevent the
boot from welding to the spark plug, and must not be touched
or wiped away.
1. Please check that a spring is fitted inside the new ignition coil
boot.
2. Press the new ignition coil boot firmly onto the ignition coil,
and turn the coupling section 2 or 3 times to seat it correctly
in position, ensuring that there are no gaps.
3. After installation, turn the boot until the air blow hole is
positioned as shown in the diagram.
