Engine Installation
Engine Mounting Torque Sequence:
Additional Torque Specifications:
Subframe Torque Specifications:
Install the engine in the reverse order of removal, noting the following.
AFTER THE ENGINE IS IN PLACE:
1. Torque the engine mounting bolts in sequence shown.
CAUTION:
- Failure to tighten the bolts in the proper sequence can cause excessive noise and vibration, and reduce bushing life: check that the bushings are not twisted or offset.
- After loosening the SPECIAL BOLTS, be sure to replace them with new ones.
Driveshaft Installation:
2. Check that the spring clip on the end of each driveshaft clicks into place.
CAUTION: Use new spring clips.
Bleed Bolt:
3. Bleed air from the cooling system at the bleed bolt with the heater valve open.
Throttle Cable Assembly Typical:
4. Adjust the throttle cable tension.
Cable deflection should be 10 - 12mm (0.39 - 0.47 in.)
5. Check the clutch pedal freeplay.
6. Check that the transmission shifts into gear smoothly.
7. Adjust the alternator belt tension (without A/C).
8. Adjust the power steering belt tension.
9 Adjust the air conditioning belt tension.
10. Clean battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper, assemble, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
11. Inspect for fuel leakage.
- After assembling fuel line parts, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump operates for approximately two seconds and the fuel line is pressurized. Repeat this operation two or three times and check whether any fuel leakage has occurred at any point in the fuel line.
