CKP Pulse Plate Replacement
- Remove the front wheels.
- Remove the splash shield (see step 26 on ENGINE REMOVAL ).
- Remove the drive belt (see DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT ).
- Remove the cylinder head cover (see CYLINDER HEAD COVER REMOVAL ).
- Set the No. 1 piston at top dead center (TDC). The punch mark on the variable valve timing control (VTC) actuator and the punch mark on the exhaust camshaft sprocket should be at the top. Align the TDC marks on the VTC actuator and exhaust camshaft sprocket (see step 5 on ).
- Disconnect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor connector and VTC oil control solenoid valve connector (see step 6 on ).
- Remove the VTC oil control solenoid valve (see VTC OIL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/TEST/INSTALLATION ).
- Remove the crankshaft pulley (see CRANKSHAFT PULLEY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
- Support the engine with a jack and a wood block under the oil pan.
- Remove the upper torque rod (see step 10 on ).
- Remove the ground cable, then remove the side engine mount bracket (see step 11 on CAM CHAIN REMOVAL ).
- Remove the side engine mount bracket (see step 12 on ).
- Remove the cam chain case (see step 13 on ).
- Remove the CKP pulse plate.
- Install the CKP pulse plate.
- Check the chain case oil seal for damage. If the oil seal is damaged, replace the chain case oil seal (see CHAIN CASE OIL SEAL INSTALLATION ).
- Remove all of the old liquid gasket from the chain case mating surfaces, bolt and bolt holes.
- Clean, and dry the chain case mating surfaces.
- Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004,08718-0001, 08718-0002,08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the chain case (see step 13 on ).
- Apply liquid gasket to the engine block upper surface contact areas on the chain case and lower block upper surface contact areas on the chain case (see step 14 on ).
- Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0002,08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the oil pan mating surface of the chain case (see step 15 on
).NOTE: Do not install components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
- Install the new O-ring on the chain case. Set the edge of the chain case to the edge of the oil pan, then install the chain case on the engine block (see step 16 on
). Wipe off the excess liquid gasket on the oil pan and chain case mating area.NOTE:
- When installing the chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the chain case.
- Install the side engine mount bracket (see step 17 on ).
- Install the side engine mount bracket, then loosely tighten the new bolt and nut, and loosely tighten the bolt. Install the ground cable (see step 18 on ).
- Remove the air cleaner assembly (see AIR CLEANER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Loosen the transmission mounting bolt and nuts (see step 21 on ).
- Raise the vehicle on the lift to full height.
- Loosen the lower torque rod mounting bolt (see step 23 on ).
- M/T model: Loosen the front mount mounting bolt (see step 24 on ).
- Lower the vehicle on the lift.
- Tighten the side engine mount mounting bolts and nut (see step 26 on ).
- Tighten the transmission mounting bolt and nuts (see step 27 on ).
- Raise the vehicle on the lift to full height.
- Tighten the lower torque rod mounting bolt (see step 29 on ).
- Lower the vehicle on the lift.
- Install the air cleaner assembly (see AIR CLEANER REMOVAL/INSTALLATION ).
- Install the upper torque rod, then tighten the new upper torque rod mounting bolts in the numbered sequence shown (see step 32 on ).
- M/T model: Raise the vehicle on the lift to full height, and tighten the front mount mounting bolt (see step 33 on ).
- Install the splash shield (see step 40 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
- Lower the vehicle on the lift.
- Install the variable valve timing control (VTC) oil control solenoid valve (see VTC OIL CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE REMOVAL/TEST/INSTALLATION ).
- Connect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor connector and VTC oil control solenoid valve connector (see step 37 on ).
- Install the crankshaft pulley (see CRANKSHAFT PULLEY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ).
- Install the cylinder head cover (see CYLINDER HEAD COVER INSTALLATION ).
- Install the drive belt (see DRIVE BELT REPLACEMENT ).
- Do the CKP pattern clear/CKP learn procedure (see CRANK (CKP) PATTERN CLEAR/CRANK (CKP) PATTERN LEARN ).
