ENGINE ASSEMBLY
Revision: 2006 December 2006 FX35/FX45
Separation Work
1. Change engine slinger installing to cylinder head (right bank). NOTE:
In order to keep secure position when hoisting engine.
2. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) under side nut with power tool.
3. Lift with hoist and separate engine and transmission assembly from front suspension member. CAUTION:

Before and during this lifting, always make sure that any harnesses are left connected.

Avoid damage to and oil/grease smearing or spills onto engine mounting insulator.
4. Remove alternator. Refer to SC-20, "
CHARGING SYSTEM" .
5. Remove starter motor. Refer to SC-8, "
STARTING SYSTEM" .
6. Separate engine from transmission assembly. Refer to AT- 2 6 9 , "
Removal and Installation (AWD Models)"
.
7. Remove front final drive from engine. Refer to FFD-13, "
FRONT FINAL DRIVE ASSEMBLY" .
8. Remove engine mounting insulators (RH and LH) and brackets (RH and LH) from engine with power tool.
9. Remove engine rear member and engine mounting insulator (rear) from transmission.
INSTALLATION
Note the following, and install in the reverse order of removal.

Do not allow engine mounting insulator to be damage and careful no engine oil gets on it.

For a location with a positioning pin, insert it securely into hole of mating part.

For a part with a specified installation orientation, refer to component figure in EM-243, "Removal and
Installation" .

When installing engine mounting brackets (RH and LH) on cylin-
der block, tighten two upper bolts (shown as “A” in the figure)
first. Then tighten two lower bolts (shown as “B” in the figure).
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
Inspection for Leaks
The followings 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-12, "
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.

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. Slinger bolts:

After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the
specified level, if necessary.

NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand that
can hold mating surface of transmission with drive plate and rear
plate removed.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
4. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-27, "
Changing Engine Oil" .
5. Drain engine coolant from inside engine by removing water drain plugs “B” as shown in the figure.
6. Remove the following parts and related parts (The parts listed in step 3 are not included here.)

Oil pan and oil strainer; Refer to EM-187, "OIL PAN AND OIL STRAINER" .

Crankshaft pulley, front cover and timing chain; Refer to EM-203, "TIMING CHAIN" .

Camshaft; Refer to EM-215, "CAMSHAFT" .

Cylinder head; Refer to EM-232, "CYLINDER HEAD" .
7. Remove knock sensor.
CAUTION:
Carefully handle sensor, avoiding shocks.
8. Remove piston and connecting rod assembly as follows:

Before removing piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer
to EM-265, "
CONNECTING ROD SIDE CLEARANCE" .
a. Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead center.
b. Remove connecting rod bearing cap.
