DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove engine and transaxle assembly from vehicle, separate transaxle from engine. Refer to EM-72.
2. Install engine to engine stand as follows;
a. Remove flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (1) (A/T or CVT
models).
• Secure flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (A/T or CVT mod-
els) using Tool (A), and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage or scratch drive plate (A/T or CVT
models) and contact surface for clutch disc of flywheel (M/T
models).
NOTE:

b. Lift the engine with a hoist to install it onto widely use engine stand.
CAUTION:
• Use the engine stand that has a load capacity [approximately 135 kg (298 lb) or more] large
enough for supporting the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the poten-
tial risk of overturning stand.

.
- Rocker cover; Refer to EM-30
.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support mating surface of transaxle with flywheel (M/T

.
4. Remove cylinder head. Refer to EM-62
.
5. Remove thermostat housing. Refer to CO-17
.

• Using a piston ring compressor [SST: EM03470000 (J-8037)]
(A) or suitable tool, install piston with the front mark on the pis-
ton head facing the front of the engine.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to damage the cylinder wall and crankshaft
pin, resulting from an interference of the connecting rod
big end.
22. Install connecting rod cap.
• Match the stamped cylinder number marks (C) on connecting
rod with those on connecting rod cap to install.
23. Tighten connecting rod bolt with the following procedure:
CAUTION:
• Make sure that there is no gap in the thrust surface (A) of
the joint between connecting rod (1) and connecting rod
bearing cap (2) and that these parts are in the correct
position. And then, tighten the connecting rod bolts.
• If the connecting rod bolts are reused, measure the outer
diameter. Refer to EM-93, "
Inspection After Disassembly".
24. Apply new engine oil to the threads and seats of connecting rod
bolts.
25. Tighten bolts in three steps
• After tightening connecting rod bolt, make sure that crankshaft rotates smoothly.
• Check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to EM-93, "
Inspection After Disassembly".
26. Install oil pan (upper). Refer to EM-24
.
NOTE:
Install the rear oil seal after installing the oil pan (upper).
27. Install rear oil seal. Refer to EM-24
.
28. Install flywheel (M/T models) or drive plate (1) (A/T or CVT mod-
els).
• Secure crankshaft using Tool. (A), and tighten bolts crosswise
over several times.
NOTE:
A/T model shown CVT and M/T similar.

• Measure the outer diameters (“d1”, “d2”) at two positions as shown.
• If reduction appears in places other than “B” range, regard it as
“d
2”.
• If it exceeds the limit (a large difference in dimensions), replace
main bearing cap bolt with a new one.
CONNECTING ROD BOLT OUTER DIAMETER
• Measure the outer diameter “d” at position as shown.
• If reduction appears in a position other than “d”, regard it as “d”.
• When “d” exceeds the limit (when it becomes thinner), replace
connecting rod bolt with a new one.
CLOGGED OR DAMAGED OIL FILTER (FOR INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL)
• Make sure that there is no foreign material on the oil filter and
check it for clogging.
- Clean it if necessary.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
- Replace it if necessary.
FLYWHEEL DEFLECTION (M/T MODELS)
• Measure the deflection of flywheel contact surface to clutch with a
dial indicator (A).
• Measure the deflection at 210 mm (8.27 in) diameter.
• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
• If a trace of burn or discoloration is found on the surface, repair it
with sandpaper.
CAUTION:
When measuring, keep magnetic fields (such as dial indicator
stand) away from signal plate of the rear end of crankshaft.
MOVEMENT AMOUNT OF FLYWHEEL (M/T MODELS)
CAUTION:
Never disassemble double mass flywheel.
Movement Amount of Thrust (Fore-and-Aft) Direction
• Measure the movement amount of thrust (fore-and-aft) direction when 100 N (10.2 kg, 22 lb) force is added
at the portion of 125 mm (4.92 in) radius from the center of flywheel.
A : “d1” measuring position
B : “d2” measuring position
Limit (“d1” – “d2”): 0.15 mm (0.0059 in)

• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.
Movement Amount in Radial (Rotation) Direction
Check the movement amount of radial (rotation) direction with the following procedure:
1. Install clutch cover bolt (1) to clutch cover mating hole, and
place a torque wrench (A) on the extended line of the flywheel
(2) center line.
• Tighten bolt at a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) to keep it
from loosening.
2. Put a mating mark on circumferences of the two flywheel
masses without applying any load (Measurement standard
points).
3. Apply a force of 9.8 N·m (1.0 kg-m, 87 in-lb) in each direction,
and mark the movement amount on the mass on the transaxle
side.
4. Measure the dimensions of movement amounts “A” and “B” on
circumference of the flywheel on the transaxle side.
• If measured value is out of the standard, replace flywheel.Limit: 33.2 mm (1.307 in) or less.
