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-102, "
Inspec-
tion".
1. Wipe off engine oil and remove water scale (like deposit), gasket, sealant, carbon, etc. using scraper. CAUTION:
Use utmost care not to allow gasket debris to enter passages for engine oil or engine coolant.

5. Using a suitable tool finish valve seat to the specified dimen-
sions. For dimensions, refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
CAUTION:
When using a valve seat cutter, firmly grip the cutter handle
with both hands. Then, pr ess the contacting surface evenly
around the valve seat to cut in a single attempt. Improper
pressure or cutting several times may result in wavy valve
seat.
6. Using compound, grind to adjust valve fitting.
7. Check again for normal contact. Refer to "VALVE SEAT CONTACT".
VALVE SPRING SQUARENESS
• Set a tri-square (A) along the side of valve spring and rotate spring. Measure the maximum clearance between the top of spring and
tri-square.
• If it exceeds the limit, replace valve spring.
VALVE SPRING DIMENSIONS AND VALVE SPRING PRESSURE LOAD
• Check valve spring pressure with valve spring seat installed at the specified spring height.
CAUTION:
Do not remove valve spring seat from valve spring.
• If the installation load or load with valve open is out of the stan- dard, replace valve spring (with valve spring seat).
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-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, che ck 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 l eaks 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.

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.

17. Use a suitable jack (A) to securely support the bottom of the
engine and the transaxle assembly.
CAUTION:
Put a piece of wood or an equivalent as the supporting sur-
face and secure in a stable condition.
18. Remove engine mounting insulator (RH) (1).
19. Remove engine through bolt-securing nut (C).
20. Carefully lower suitable jack, or raise lift to remove the engine and the transaxle assembly. Observe the following cautions:
CAUTION:
• Check that no part interferes with the vehicle side.
• Before and during lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
• During removal, always be careful to prevent the vehic le from falling off the lift due to changes in
the center of gravity.
• If necessary, support the vehicle by setting jack or suitable tool at the rear.
21. Remove starter motor. Refer to STR-31, "
Exploded View".
22. Lift with a hoist and separate the engine from the transaxle assembly. Refer to TM-24, "
Exploded View"
(M/T models) and TM-259, "Exploded View" (CVT models).
INSTALLATION
Installation is in the reverse order of removal.
CAUTION:
• Do not allow engine oil to get on engine mounting insulator. Be careful not to damage engine mount-
ing insulator.
• Check that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten nuts and bolts.
• When installation directions are specified, instal l parts according to the direction marks on them,
referring to the figure of components. Refer to EM-86, "
Exploded View".
• Inspect vehicle alignment and adjust (If necessary). Refer to FSU-8, "
Adjustment".

- Intake manifold. Refer to EM-28, "
Exploded View".
- Exhaust manifold. Refer to EM-31, "
Removal and Installation".
- Rocker cover. Refer to EM-48, "
Exploded View".
CAUTION:

turning.
NOTE:
The figure shows an example of widely used engine stand (A)
that can support the mating surface of transaxle with flywheel
removed.
2. Drain engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
