Engine Installation: 

Install the engine in the reverse order of removal. Reinstall the mount bolts/nuts in the following sequence. Failure to follow these procedures may cause excessive noise and vibration, and reduce bushing life.

1. Install the transmission mount and bracket, then tighten the bolts on the frame side.
   NOTE: Do not tighten the bolts/nuts on the transmission side.

7. Perform the following:
   • Clean the areas where the driveshaft(s) and the intermediate shaft contact the transmission (differential) thoroughly with solvent or carburetor cleaner, and dry with compressed air.
   • Check that the set rings on the ends of the drive-shaft click into place.
     CAUTION: Use new set rings.
   • Adjust the shift cable (see ADJUSTMENT ).
   • Adjust the throttle cable (see INSPECTION/ADJUSTMENT ).
   • Adjust the cruise control cable (see ACTUATOR CABLE ADJUSTMENT ).
   • Refill the engine with engine oil (see ENGINE OIL ).
   • Refill the transmission with fluid (see TRANSMISSION OIL , CHECKING/CHANGING ).
   • Refill the radiator with engine coolant (see ENGINE COOLANT REFILLING AND BLEEDING ).
   • Bleed air from the cooling system with the heater valve open (see ENGINE COOLANT REFILLING AND BLEEDING ).
   • Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, assemble them, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
   • Inspect for fuel leakage (see FUEL SUPPLY SYSTEM ).

     After assembling the fuel line, turn ON (II) the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and the fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.

   • Enter the anti-theft code for the radio, then enter the customer's radio station presets.
