Engine











Disassembly (Steps 1-34)

CAUTION: Remove the cylinder heads before removing the crankshaft. Failure to do so may result in engine damage.

CAUTION: If the fuel rail is used as a leverage device, it may be damaged. Care must be taken when working around the fuel rail.

NOTE: During the repair or replacement of fuel-related components, cap, tape or otherwise appropriately protect all liquid and vapor fuel openings to prevent the ingress of dirt or foreign material. Remove all caps, tape and other protective materials prior to installation.

1. Remove the bolts and the flexplate.





2. Remove the spacer plate and the flexplate spacer.

3. NOTE: The crankshaft rear seal may have a metal speedy sleeve. This sleeve must be removed before attempting to remove the seal.

If necessary, remove the speedy sleeve using 2 screwdrivers or small pry bars.
