ENGINE ASSEMBLY





Removal and Installation

WARNING:
^ Position the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
^ Place wheel chocks at the front and back of the rear wheels.
^ Do not remove the engine until the exhaust system has completely cooled off. Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break out in a fuel line.
^ For safety during subsequent steps, the tension of wires should be loosened against the engine.
^ Before disconnecting the fuel hose, release the fuel pressure from the fuel system.
^ Before removing the front axle from the transmission, place safety stands under the designated front supporting points.
^ Lift the engine and transmission in a safe manner.
^ For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach the proper slingers and bolts.

CAUTION:
^ When lifting the engine, be careful not to strike any adjacent parts, especially the accelerator wire casing, brake lines, and brake master cylinder.
^ In hoisting the engine, always use the engine slingers in a safe manner.
^ Before separating the engine and transmission, remove the crankshaft position sensor (OBD).
^ Do not damage the edge of the crankshaft position sensor (OBD), or the ring gear teeth.





^ Do not loosen the front engine mounting insulator cover bolts.
