• Secure crankshaft pulley with a suitable tool and tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
a. Apply new engine oil to thread and seat surfaces of crankshaft pulley bolt.
b. Tighten crankshaft pulley bolt.
c. Put a paint mark (B) on crankshaft pulley, mating with any one of six easy to recognize angle marks (A) on crankshaft bolt flange
(1).
d. Turn another 60 degrees clockwise (angle tightening). • Check the tightening angle with movement of one angle mark.
10. Check that crankshaft turns smoothly by rotating by hand clockwise using suitable tool.
11. Installation of the remaining components is in the reverse order of removal.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, includi ng engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leaks.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leaks at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there are no lea ks 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:
*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Oil Filter
• Check that there is no foreign material on the oil filter (1) and check it for clogging.
• Check the oil filter for damage.
• If there is some damage, replace the oil filter, the plug, and the washer as a set.
CAUTION:
Do not reuse the washer.
Camshaft Runout
1. Put V-block on a precise flat table, and support No. 2 and 5 jour- nals of camshaft.
CAUTION:
Do not support No. 1 journal (on the side of camshaft
sprocket) because it has a differe nt diameter from the other
four locations.
2. Set a suitable tool vertically to No. 3 journal.
3. Turn camshaft to one direction, and measure the camshaft runout using suitable tool. (Total indicator reading)

WARNING:
• Position the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
• Place chocks at front and back of rear wheels.
• Attach proper slingers and bolts described in PARTS CATALOG if engine is not already equipped.
CAUTION:
• Always be careful to work safely.
• Do not start working until exhaust system and coolant are cool enough.
• If items or work required are not covered by th e engine section, refer to the applicable sections.
• Always use the support poin t specified for lifting.
• Use either 2-pole lift type or separate type lift. If board-on type must be used, support the rear axle
jacking point with a transmission jack or similar to ol before starting work, in preparation for the
backward shift of center of gravity.
• For supporting points for lifting and j acking point at rear axle, refer to GI-29, "
2-Pole Lift".
NOTE:
• When removing components such as hoses, tubes/lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from
spilling.
