• Place the drive plate with th e signal plate surface facing
upward.
4. Remove the rear oil seal using suitable tool. CAUTION:
Do not damage crankshaft or oil seal retainer surface.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply new engine oil to both the oil seal lip and dust seal lip of the new rear oil seal.
2. Install the rear oil seal.
• Install the rear oil seal so that each seal lip is oriented asshown.
• Press-fit the rear oil seal using suitable tool. CAUTION:
• Do not damage the crankshaft or cylinder block.

• Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between d1 and d2 exceeds
the limit, replace the bolt with a new one.
• If reduction of diameter appears in a position other than d2, use it as d2 point.
INSTALLATION
1. Install a new cylinder head gasket.
2. Install the cylinder head. Follow the steps below to tighten the bolts in the numerical order shown.
CAUTION:
• If cylinder head bolts are re-used, check their diameters
before installation. Refer to "Cylinder Head Bolts Diame-
ter".
a. Apply engine oil to threads and seating surface of the bolts.
b. Measure the tightening angle using Tool. CAUTION:
Measure the tightening angl e using Tool. Do not measure
visually.
3. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels incl uding engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-12, "
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 leak-
age 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 leak age of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including
engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec- ified level, if necessary.
• Summary of the inspection items: Limit (d1 - d2) : 0.23 mm (0.0091 in)

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 exh aust system and engine coolant are cooled sufficiently.
• If items or work required are no t covered by the engine section, follow the applicable procedures.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-point lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type is used for unavoidable reasons,
