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.
3. 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.
4. Remove RH engine mounting insulator.
5. Pull LH engine mounting through-bolt out.
6. Remove mounting bolts at front end of center member.
7. Remove front suspension member mounting bolts and nuts.
Refer to FSU-5, "
FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove engine, transaxle and transfer assembly with suspension member and center member from vehi-
cle downward by carefully operating supporting tools.
CAUTION:

During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with body side.

Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.

During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to
changes in the center of gravity.

If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.Slinger bolts:
: 33.5 N·m (3.4 kg-m, 25 ft-lb)

DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine, transaxle and transfer assembly from the vehicle, then separate engine and transaxle
and transfer assembly. Refer to EM-222, "
ENGINE ASSEMBLY" .
2. Remove clutch cover and disk. Refer to CL-16, "
CLUTCH DISC, CLUTCH COVER AND FLYWHEEL" .
3. Install engine to engine stand as follows:
a. Remove flywheel.
b. Secure ring gear with the ring gear stopper (special service
tool), then loosen mounting bolts with TORX socket (size: T55,
Commercial Service Tools) and remove them. As an alternative
method hold crankshaft pulley with the pulley holder (special
service tool: KV10109300) to remove flywheel.
CAUTION:

Do not disassemble flywheel.

Do not place flywheel with signal plate facing down.

When handling signal plate, take care not to damage or
scratch it.

Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from
becoming magnetized.
c. Install the engine sub-attachment (special service tool) to the
rear side of cylinder block.

Align knock pins on cylinder block with pin holes on attach-
ment to install.
NOTE:
Installation bolts are part of engine sub-attachment.
d. Install the engine stand shaft (special service tool).
NOTE:
Use commercially available M12 (0.47 in) mounting bolts and
nuts (4 sets) with strength grade of 9T (minimum).

There is a mating mark on the clutch cover side, Refer it dur-
ing installation.

Holding ring gear with the ring stopper (special service tool),
tighten securing bolts with TORX bit (size: T55, Commercial
Service Tool).

Tighten bolts uniformly in a crisscross manner.

Apply engine oil to bolt threads and seat surfaces.
How to Select Piston and BearingEBS00ODY
DESCRIPTION

The identification grade stamped on each part is the grade for the dimension measured in new condition.
This grade cannot apply to reused parts.

For reused or repaired parts, measure the dimension accurately. Determine the grade by comparing the
measurement with the values of each selection table.

For details of the measurement method of each part, the reuse standards and the selection method of the
selective fitting parts, refer to the text.

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

Oil pan drain plug

Oil pressure switch

Oil filter

Oil cooler

Intake valve timing control cover and intake valve timing control solenoid valve

Front cover

Mating surface between cylinder block and lower cylinder block

Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head

Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover

Crankshaft oil seals (front and rear)
OIL PRESSURE CHECK
WARNING:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as engine oil may be hot.

Engine oil pressure check should be in “ Parking position” (A/T models) or “Neutral position” (M/T
models), and should apply parking brake securely.
1. Check engine oil level. Refer to LU-7, "
ENGINE OIL LEVEL" .
2. Remove RH undercover.

INSPECTION
1. Apply pressure with radiator cap tester adapter (special service
tool) and radiator cap tester (commercial service tool).
WARNING:
To prevent the risk of hose coming undone while under
pressure, securely fasten it down with hose clamp.
CAUTION:
Attach hose to A/T fluid cooler to seal its inlet and outlet.
(A/T models)
2. Check for leakage by soaking radiator in water container with
the testing pressure applied.Standard height “H” : 8.0 - 8.4 mm (0.315 - 0.331 in)

THERMOSTAT AND WATER PIPING

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Thermostat

Place a string so that it is caught in the valves of the thermostat.
Immerse fully in a container filled with water. Heat while stirring.

The valve opening temperature is the temperature at which the
valve opens and falls from the thread.

Continue heating. Check the full-open lift amount.

After checking the full-open lift amount, lower the water temper-
ature and check the valve closing temperature.
Standard values

If out of the standard, replace thermostat.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Install the thermostat with the whole circumference of each
flange part fit securely inside the rubber ring.

Install the thermostat with the jiggle valve facing upwards.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Check for leaks of engine coolant using the radiator cap tester adapter (special service tool:
EG17650301) and the radiator cap tester (commercial service tool). Refer to CO-32, "
CHECKING RADIA-
TOR SYSTEM FOR LEAKS" .

Start and warm up engine. Visually check if there is no leaks of engine coolant.
