NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. All parts must be thoroughly cleaned and any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

NOTICE: If the oil pan was removed during engine disassembly, it must be installed after the engine and transaxle are assembled and the transaxle-to-engine bolts are installed. Failure to follow this assembly sequence can result in engine oil leaks.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components (engine block, crankshaft, connecting rods, pistons and piston rings). These inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. For additional information, refer to Engine System - General Information Procedures.

100. NOTICE: Use O-ring seals that are made of special fuel-resistant material. Use of ordinary O-rings can cause the fuel system to leak. Do not reuse the O-ring seals.

Install new fuel injector O-rings.

- Separate the fuel injectors from the fuel rail.

- Remove and discard the fuel injector O-rings.

- Install new O-rings and lubricate with clean engine oil.

- Install the fuel injectors onto the fuel rail.





101. Install the 4 bolts and the fuel rail and injectors assembly.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).





102. 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.

NOTE: Clean and inspect all sealing surfaces. Install new gaskets.

Position the upper intake manifold and install the 7 bolts.

- Tighten the bolts in 2 stages in the sequence shown.
- Stage 1: Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

- Stage 2: Tighten an additional 45 degrees.





103. Loosen the upper intake manifold bracket lower bolt. Install the upper bolts (1 shown), then tighten all the bolts.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).





104. Connect the 3 LH coil-on-plug electrical connectors.
- Attach the 2 wiring harness retainers.





105. Connect the Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch electrical connector and attach the wiring retainer to the oil indicator tube.





106. Install the radio interference capacitor and the nut.
- Tighten to 6 Nm (53 lb-in).





107. Connect the LH VCT electrical connector.





108. Connect the fuel injector wiring harness electrical connector and attach the wiring harness retainer.





109. Connect the 2 Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor electrical connectors and attach the wiring harness retainer from the engine front cover stud bolt.





110. Connect the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor electrical connector and attach the 2 wiring harness retainers.





111. Connect the RH VCT electrical connector and attach the wiring harness retainer to the valve cover stud bolt.





112. Connect the RH coil-on-plug electrical connectors.
- Attach the 2 wiring harness retainers.





113. Connect the Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) electrical connector and attach the wiring retainer.





114. Attach the wiring harness retainer to the upper intake manifold.





115. Connect the PCV valve electrical connector.





116. Connect the EGR regulator electrical connector and attach the wiring retainer.





117. Connect the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister purge valve electrical connector.





118. Connect the electronic throttle control electrical connector.





119. Connect the 3 engine wiring connectors.
- Connect the engine block Knock Sensor (KS) electrical connector.

- Connect the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor electrical connector.

- Connect the cylinder head KS electrical connector.





120. Position the B+ wiring harness and attach the 2 harness retainers to the valve cover stud bolts.





121. Install the B+ wire and nut on the generator.
- Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).





122. Connect the generator electrical connector.





123. Connect the A/C compressor clutch electrical connector.





124. NOTE: When installing the lower half of the lifting bracket it will be easier to loosely install the upper bolt first then install the lower bolt.

Install the lower half of the Engine Lifting Bracket Set.





125. Install the upper half of the Engine Lifting Bracket Set.





126. Install the Engine Lifting Bracket.





127. Install the Engine Lifting Bracket and the Universal Adapter Bracket.





128. Using the Spreader Bar, Engine Lifting Brackets, Engine Lifting Bracket Set and a suitable engine crane, remove the engine from the engine stand.
