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-17, "
RECOMMENDED FLUIDS AND LUBRICANTS" .

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 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.

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" .

9. Remove power steering oil pump with piping connected from engine. Move it aside on suspension mem-
ber. Refer to PS-37, "
HYDRAULIC LINE" .
10. Remove front engine mounting and rear engine mounting through-bolts to remove suspension member.
11. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-23, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
12. Separate engine and transaxle and transfer assembly. Refer to MT-19, "
TRANSAXLE ASSEMBLY" .
INSTALLATION
Install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine oil to get on mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage mounting insulator.

When installation directions are specified, install parts according to the direction marks on them referring
to figure of components. Refer to EM-222, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .

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

ENGINE OIL LEVEL
NOTE:
Before starting engine, put vehicle horizontally and check the engine oil level. If engine is already started, stop
it and allow 10 minutes before checking.
1. Pull out oil level gauge and wipe it clean.
2. Insert oil level gauge and make sure the engine oil level is within
the range shown in the figure.
3. If it is out of range, adjust it.
ENGINE OIL APPEARANCE

Check engine oil for white turbidity or heavy contamination.

If engine oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is contaminated with engine coolant.
Repair or replace damaged parts.
ENGINE OIL LEAKAGE
Check for engine oil leakage around the following area.

Oil pan (upper and lower)

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure switch

Oil filter bracket

Oil cooler

Oil pump housing

Va c u u m p u m p

Cylinder head rear cover assembly

Front and rear chain cases

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

Front and rear oil seals

Turbocharger

Oil tube connecting parts from turbocharger
ENGINE OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.

Be sure to check oil pressure in “ Neutral position” and parking brake should be applied securely.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to LU-20, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove RH engine undercover.
3. Remove exhaust front tube. Refer to EX-2, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .

Removal and InstallationEBS00OE8
CAUTION:

Be careful not to get burned when engine and engine oil are hot.

When removing, prepare a shop cloth to absorb any engine oil leakage or spillage.

Completely wipe off any engine oil that adhere to engine and vehicle.
REMOVAL
1. Remove engine undercover.
2. Drain engine coolant by removing cylinder block drain plug and radiator drain plug. Refer to CO-32,
"DRAINING ENGINE COOLANT" and EM-230, "CYLINDER BLOCK" .
3. Remove exhaust front tube. Refer to EX-2, "
EXHAUST SYSTEM" .
4. Remove water hoses.
5. Loosen connecting bolt and remove oil cooler.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Check oil cooler for cracks. Check oil cooler for clogging by blowing through coolant inlet. If necessary, replace
oil cooler.
INSTALLATION
Installation is the reverse order of removal.

Confirm that no foreign objects are adhering to the installation
planes of oil cooler or cylinder block.

Tighten the connecting bolt after aligning the stopper on the cyl-
inder block side with protrusion of oil cooler.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
1. Check the engine oil level and the engine coolant level, and adjust engine oil and engine coolant. Refer to
LU-20, "
ENGINE OIL" and CO-32, "ENGINE COOLANT" .
