ENGINE ASSEMBLY

• When installing engine mounting bracket (RH and LH) on cylinder

block, tighten two upper bolts (A) first. Then tighten two lower bolts
(B).

NOTE:
This figure shows an example of bank 2.

• When installing engine mounting bracket (rear) on transfer, tighten

two upper bolts (B) first. Then tighten two lower bolts (C).

• When installing engine mounting insulator (rear) on engine mount-

ing bracket (rear), tighten upper bolts (D) first. Then tighten lower
bolts (E).

• Tighten rear engine mounting member bolts in numerical order as

shown in the figure.

• Check that all engine mounting insulators are seated properly, then tighten mounting nuts and bolts.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Inspection for Leakage

The following are procedures for checking fluid leakage, lubricant leakage.

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If any are less than the

required quantity, fill them to the specified level. Refer to

MA-12, "Fluids and Lubricants"

• Follow the procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- Turn ignition switch to the “ON” position (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping,

check for fuel leakage at connection points.

- Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside chain tensioner drops after removal/installation, slack in guide may generate a
pounding noise during and just after the engine start. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. The
noise will stop after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to check that there is no leakage of fuel, or any oil/fluids including engine oil and

engine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.

NOTE:
Explained here is how to disassemble with engine stand supporting transmission surface. When using a differ-
ent type of engine stand, note the difference in the steps, etc.
1.

Remove the engine assembly from the vehicle. Refer to

EM-196, "Exploded View"

Remove crankshaft pulley. Refer to

EM-194, "FRONT OIL SEAL : Removal and Installation"

NOTE:
The drive plate is fixed with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10119200 (J-49277)]. Loosen the crankshaft pul-
ley mounting bolts before installing the engine stand.

Remove the parts that may restrict installation of engine to a widely used engine stand.
• Fix crankshaft with a ring gear stopper [SST: KV10119200 (J-49277)]. Loosen drive plate mounting bolt

with power tool.

• Check for deformation or damage of drive plate. Refer to

EM-265, "Inspection"

NOTE:
The procedure is described assuming that you use a widely used engine stand holding the surface, to
which transmission is installed.

Remove pilot converter using the pilot bushing puller (commercial service tool), if necessary.

Lift the engine with hoist to install it onto the widely used engine stand.

CAUTION:

Use an engine stand that has a load capacity [240 kg (529 lb) or more] large enough for supporting
the engine weight.
• If the load capacity of the stand is not adequate, remove the following parts beforehand to reduce the

potential risk of overturning the stand.

- Remove intake manifold. Refer to

EM-179, "Exploded View"

- Remove fuel injector and fuel tube assembly. Refer to

EM-182, "Exploded View"

- Remove ignition coil. Refer to

EM-191, "Exploded View"

- Remove rocker cover. Refer to

EM-191, "Exploded View"

- Remove exhaust manifold. Refer to

EM-205, "Exploded View"

- Other removable brackets.
