Repair Procedures: Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Install the timing chain cover.
1. Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.
2. The sealant locations on chain cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block, and ladder frame) must be free of engine oil and etc.
3. Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent should be applied on the gap between cylinder head and cylinder block. The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied.
  Bead width: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)

CAUTION: Tensioner pulley bolt is left-handed screw.
Install the engine mounting support bracket and connect the ground line.
(Refer to "ENGINE MOUNTING ")
Remove the jack from the ladder frame.
Install the oil pan.
(Refer to "OIL PAN ")
Install the A/C compressor lower bolts.
(Refer to "COMPRESSOR ")
Install the drive belt.
(Refer to "DRIVE BELT ")
Install cylinder head cover.
(Refer to "CYLINDER HEAD COVER ")
Install the under cover.
Install the RH front wheel.
Install the air cleaner assembly.
Install the air duct.
Install the engine cover.
Connect the battery negative terminal.
Add all the necessary fluids and check for leaks. Connect GDS. Check for codes, note, and clear. Recheck.
NOTE:
- Refill engine with engine oil.
- Refill a transaxle with fluid.
- Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.
- Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
- Inspect for fuel leakage.
  - After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
  - Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
- Refill radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
- Bleed air from the cooling system.
