DISASSEMBLY
NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, some steps may be different.
1. Remove engine assembly and mount to engine stand. Refer to
EM-78, "

CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure engi ne stand is stable and there is no risk of over-
turning.
2. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-9, "
Changing Engine Oil".
3. Drain engine coolant by removing the cylinder block drain plugs “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” as shown.
4. Remove the following components and associated parts (the parts referred to in step 1 are not included here).
• Oil pan (upper and lower) and oil strainer. Refer to EM-33, "
Removal and Installation".
• Crankshaft pulley, front cover and timing chain. Refer to EM-45, "
Removal and Installation".
• Camshaft. Refer to EM-53, "
