Engine mount to frame attaching bolt
torque specification .................................44.0 – 60.0 Nm
Knock Sensor Attaching Nut
torque specification ............................................23.0 Nm
2 Use only the specified engine lubricant type and quantity. It is recommended that a fluorescent oil dye, such as that contained in J 28481-B, be added to assist in any future oil leak diagnosis.
3 Fill the cooling system with the correct quantity and grade of coolant, refer to 6B1 Engine Cooling – V6.
4 Check transmission fluid level, replenishing as required, using the specified lubricant for the transmission fitted, refer to 7C1 Automatic – 4L60E – General Information.
5 Disable the ignition system, refer to 6C1-3 Engine Management – V6 – Service Operations.
6 Crank the engine several times. Listen for any unusual noises or evidence that parts are binding.
7 Enable the ignition system. Start the engine and listen for any unusual noises.
8 Check the vehicle oil pressure gauge or warning indicator and confirm the engine has acceptable oil pressure. If required, install an oil pressure gauge and measure the engine oil pressure, refer to 2.19 Engine Oil Pressure
Diagnosis.
9 Run the engine at about 1,000 r.p.m. until the engine has reached normal operating temperature.
10 Listen for any unusual noises.
11 Check for oil, fuel, coolant and exhaust leaks while the engine is running, correcting as required.
12 Perform a final inspection for correct engine oil and coolant levels.
