INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Cylinder Head Bolt s Outer Diameter
• Cylinder head bolts are tightened by plastic zone tightening
method. Whenever the size difference between “d1” and “d2”
exceeds the limit, replace them with a new one.
• If reduction of outer diameter appear s in a position other than “d2”,
use it as “d2” point.
Cylinder Head Distortion
NOTE:
When performing this inspection, cylinder block distortion should be also checking. Refer to EM-116, "
Cylinder
Block".
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit ), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. with a scraper.
CAUTION:
Never allow gasket debris to enter passag es for engine oil or engine coolant.
2. At each of several locations on bottom surface of cylinder head, measure the distortion in six directions.
• If it exceeds the limit, replace cylinder head.
INSTALLATION
1. Install new cylinder head gasket.

• 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, che ck 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 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.

• If items or work required are not covered by the engine section, follow the procedures in the applica-
ble sections.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift as best you can. If board-on type is used for unavoid-
able reasons, support at the rear axle jacking point with a transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in preparation for the backward shif t of center of gravity.
• For supporting points fo r lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to GI-38, "
Garage Jack and
Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift".

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using differ-
ent type of engine stand, note with difference in steps and etc.
1. Remove the engine and the transaxle assembly from
the vehicle, and separate the transaxle from the
engine. Refer to EM-82, "
Exploded View".
2. Remove clutch cover and clutch disc (if equipped). Refer to CL-16, "
Removal and Installation".
3. Remove flywheel or driveplate. • Secure flywheel or driveplate with Tool, and remove bolts.
CAUTION:
• Never disassemble flywheel.
• Never place flywheel or driveplate with signal plate facing down.
• When handling signal plate, take car e not to damage or scratch it.
• Handle signal plate in a manner that prevents it from becoming magnetized.
4. 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.
- Intake manifold: Refer to EM-27, "
Exploded View".
- Exhaust manifold: Refer to EM-30, "
Exploded View".
- Rocker cover: Refer to EM-46, "
Exploded View".
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely use engine stand that
can support mating surface of transaxle with flywheel or drive-
plate removed.
CAUTION:
Before removing the hanging chains, make sure the engine
stand is stable and there is no risk of overturning.
5. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Draining".
6. Drain engine coolant by removing water drain plug (1) from RH side of the engine. Tool number : KV11105210 (J-44716)
