Part 1

Engine














NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.

NOTE: For additional information, refer to the exploded view under the Assembly procedure.

All engines

1. Remove the 8 bolts and the flexplate.





2. Remove the crankshaft sensor ring.





3. Using the Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Remover and Slide Hammer, remove and discard the rear crankshaft seal.





4. NOTE: Install the engine stand bolts into the cylinder block only. Do not install the bolts into the oil pan.
Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand.


5. If equipped, remove the heat shield and disconnect the block heater electrical connector.
- Detach all of the engine block heater harness retainers and remove the harness.






6. Disconnect the PCV hose from the PCV valve.





7. Disconnect the Throttle Body (TB) electrical connector.





8. Detach the wiring harness retainers from the upper intake manifold.





9. Remove the upper intake manifold support bracket bolt.





10. Remove the wire harness pin-type retainer and the fuel tube bracket bolt from the upper intake manifold.





11. NOTICE: If the engine is repaired or replaced because of upper engine failure, typically including valve or piston damage, check the intake manifold for metal debris. If metal debris is found, install a new intake manifold. Failure to follow these instructions can result in engine damage.

Remove the 6 bolts and the upper intake manifold.
- Discard the gaskets.






12. Disconnect the Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch electrical connector.
