PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or other alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use of
those can cause engine damage.

Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will cause wax
to form in the fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.

Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemEAS000FT

Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Turbocharger (If Equipped)EAS000FU
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean sup-
ply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all required
maintenance instructions and operating procedures.

Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.

Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start-
ing.

If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period
of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting if off.
Precautions for HosesEAS000FV
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)

Precautions for Drain Engine CoolantEBS00KN0
Drain engine coolant when engine is cooled.
Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel PipingEBS00KN1

Before starting work, make sure no fire or spark producing items are in the work area.

Release fuel pressure before disassembly.

After disconnecting pipes, plug openings to stop fuel leakage.
Precautions for Removal and DisassemblyEBS00KN2

When instructed to use special service tools, use the specified tools. Always be careful to work safely,
avoid forceful or uninstructed operations.

Exercise maximum care to avoid damage to mating or sliding surfaces.

Cover openings of engine system with tape or the equivalent, if necessary, to seal out foreign materials.

Mark and arrange disassembly parts in an organized way for easy troubleshooting and re-assembly.

When loosening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, start with the one furthest outside, then the one diagonally
opposite, and so on. If the order of loosening is specified, do exactly as specified.
Precautions for Inspection, Repair and ReplacementEBS00KN3
Before repairing or replacing, thoroughly inspect parts. Inspect new replacement parts in the same way, and
replace if necessary.
Precautions for Assembly and InstallationEBS00MRZ

Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.

When tightening nuts and bolts, as a basic rule, equally tighten in several different steps starting with the
ones in center, then ones on inside and outside diagonally in this order. If the order of tightening is speci-
fied, do exactly as specified.

Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.

Dowel pins are used for several parts alignment. When replacing and reassembling with dowel pins, make
sure that dowel pins are installed in the original portion.

Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check oil or coolant passages for any restriction
and blockage.

Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust.
Before assembly, oil sliding surfaces well.

Release air within route when refilling after draining coolant.

Before starting engine, apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine
stopped). Then make sure there are no leaks at fuel line connections.

After repairing, start engine and increase engine speed to check engine coolant, fuel, engine oil, and
exhaust systems for leakage.
Parts Requiring Angle TighteningEBS00KN5

Use an angle wrench (special service tool: KV10112100) for the final tightening of the following engine
parts.
–Cylinder head bolts
–Lower cylinder block bolts
–Connecting rod cap bolts
–Crankshaft pulley bolt (No angle wrench is required as the bolt flange is provided with notches for angle
tightening)
–Balancer unit

Do not use a torque value for final tightening.

The torque value for these parts are for a preliminary step.

Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

ness connector of electric throttle control actuator is discon-
nected. Refer to EC-47, "
Throttle Valve Closed Position
Learning" (WITH EURO-OBD) or EC-560, "Throttle Valve
Closed Position Learning" (WITHOUT EURO-OBD).

Perform the “Idle Air Volume Learning” and “Throttle Valve
Closed Position Learning” when electric throttle control actuator
is replaced. Refer to EC-47, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" (WITH
EURO-OBD) or EC-560, "
Idle Air Volume Learning" (WITHOUT
EURO-OBD).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Make sure there are no fuel leaks at connections with the following procedure:
1. Apply fuel pressure to fuel lines with turning ignition switch “ON” (with engine stopped). Then make sure
there are no fuel leaks at connections.
NOTE:
Use mirrors for checking on invisible points.
2. Start engine. With engine speed increased, make sure again there are no fuel leaks at connections.
CAUTION:
Do not touch engine immediately after stopped as engine becomes extremely hot.

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" .

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.
NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in the guide may
generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop after
hydraulic pressure rises.

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.
