• If items or work required are not covered by the engine main body section, refer to the applicable

sections.

• Always use the support point 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 transmission jack or similar tool before
starting work, in preparation for the backward shift of center of gravity.

• For supporting points for lifting and jacking point at rear axle, refer to 

GI-36, "Garage Jack and

Safety Stand and 2-Pole Lift"

 or 

GI-37, "Board-On Lift"

.

NOTE:
When removing components such as hoses, tubes / lines, etc., cap or plug openings to prevent fluid from spill-
ing.

CAUTION:

• During the operation, make sure that no part interferes with body side.
• Before and during this lifting, always check if any harnesses are left connected.
• During the removal operation, always be careful to prevent vehicle from falling off the lift due to

changes in the center of gravity.

• If necessary, support vehicle by setting a jack or equivalent tool at the rear.

Separation Work

components illustration.

• Make sure that each mounting insulator is seated properly, and tighten mounting bolts and nuts.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000010282097

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

Inspection for Leaks

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

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-59, "Fluids and Lubricants"

.

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
- 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, check 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 gases, or any oil/fluids includ-

ing engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from lines and hoses of applicable lines, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to the

specified level, if necessary.
