2) The left rear bearing has no oil holes.
5. Using special tool, install the right counter balance shaft rear bearing to the cylinder block
NOTE:
1) Apply engine oil to outer surface of bearing.
2) Make sure that bearing oil hole is aligned with oil hole of cylinder block.
6. Using special tool, install the right counter balance shaft front bearing to the cylinder block.
NOTE: Make sure that bearing oil hole is aligned with cylinder block oil hole.
DISASSEMBLY
1. Remove the timing belt.
2. Remove all the oil pan bolts.
3. Remove the oil pan.
4. Remove the oil screen and gasket.
5. Remove the relief plunger and gasket, then remove the bracket relief spring and relief valve from the oil filter.
6. Remove the oil pressure switch.
7. Remove the oil filter bracket and gasket.
8. Using the special tool, remove the plug cap from the oil pump portion of the front case
9. Remove the left side cylinder block plug and insert a screw driver with an 8 mm (0.32 inch) diameter shaft into plug hole. Screwdriver shaft must be inserted more than 60 mm (2.4 inch)
10. Remove the oil pump driven gear and left counter balance shaft retaining bolt.
11. Remove the front case mounting bolts and remove front case assembly and gasket.
12. Remove the two counter balance shafts from the cylinder block.
13. Remove the oil pump cover from the front case.
14. Remove the oil pump gears from front case.
Front Case
1. Check oil holes for clogging. Clean holes if necessary.
2. Check counter balance shaft front bearing section for wear, damage and seizure. If there is anything wrong with the section, replace the front case.
3. Check the front case for cracks and other damage. Replace cracked or damaged front case.
Counter Balance Shaft
Check journals for wear or seizure.
If excessive wear or seizure is evident, check the bearing.
If necessary, replace counter balance shaft bearing or both.
Oil Seal
1. Check the oil seal lip for wear and damage. Replace oil seal if necessary.
2. Check the oil seal lip for deterioration. Replace oil seal if necessary.
Oil Pressure Switch
1. Use an ohmmeter to check the continuity between the terminal and the body. If there is no continuity, replace the oil pressure switch.
2. Check the continuity between the terminal and the body when the fine wire is pushed. If there is continuity even when the fine wire is pushed, replace it.
3. If there is no continuity when a 50 kPa (7 psi) vacuum is applied through the oil hole, the switch is operating properly. Check to see that air doesn't leak. If air leaks, the diaphragm is broken. Replace the switch.
Oil Pump
Fig. 12 Measuring Oil Pump Gear Tip Clearance:
1. Assemble the oil pump gear to the front case and rotate it to ensure smooth rotation with no looseness.
Fig. 13 Measuring Oil Pump Gear Side Clearance:
2. Ensure that there is no ridge wear on the contact surface between the front case and gear surface of the oil pump cover.
3. With the drive and driven gears installed into the front case, measure the tip clearance of the gears.
Gear tip clearance:
Standard valve:
Drive gear: 0.16 - 0.21 mm (0.0063 - 0.0083 inch)
Driven gear: 0.13 - 0.18 mm (0.0051 - 0.0071 inch)
Limit:
Drive gear: 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
Driven gear: 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
4. Check the side clearance.
Side clearance:
Standard value:
Drive gear: 0.08 - 0.14 mm (0.0031 - 0.0055 inch)
Driven gear 0.06 - 0.12 mm (0.0024 - 0.0047 inch)
Limit:
Drive gear: 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
Driven gear: 0.25 mm (0.0098 inch)
REASSEMBLY
1. Apply engine oil to the gear and align the two timing marks.
2. Using the special tool, Crankshaft Front Oil Seal Installer (09214-32000), install the crankshaft front oil seal into the front case.
3. Set the special tool (09214-32100) on the front end of crankshaft and apply a thin coat of engine oil to outer circumference of the special tool to install the front case.
4. Install the front case assembly through a new front case gasket and temporarily tighten the flange bolts (other than those for tightening the filter bracket).
5. Install the front case assembly with a new gasket. Tighten bolts to the specified torque.
Tightening torque:
Front case assembly (bolt length below head): 27 - 34 Nm (270 - 340 kgs.cm, 20 - 25 ft. lbs.)
Front case assembly (all except bolt length below head): 20 - 27 Nm (200 - 270 kgs.cm, 14 - 20 ft. lbs.)
All except oil filter bracket bolts: 15 - 22 Nm ( 150 - 220 kgs.cm, 11 - 16 ft. lbs.)
6. Insert screwdriver through plug hole in left side of cylinder block to check shaft is in position, and tighten.
7. Install a new O-ring to the groove of the front case.
Fig. 29 Applying Sealant To Oil Pan:
8. Using special tool, install the plug case and tighten to specified torque.
9. Apply sealant into the groove of the pan flange as shown.
NOTE:
1) Apply sealant approximately 4 mm (0.16 inch) in thickness.
2) After application of sealant, install oil pan within 15 minutes. List what type of sealant to use.
10. Install the oil pan and tighten the bolts to the specified torque.
