Engine Mounting

Engine Mounting

WARNING:
^ Place the vehicle on a flat and solid surface.
^ Place wheel chocks at the front and back of the rear wheels.
^ Do not remove the engine until the exhaust system has completely cooled off. Otherwise, you may burn yourself and/or fire may break out in the fuel line.
^ For safety, the tension of wires should be loosened against the engine.
^ Before disconnecting a fuel hose, Perform the Fuel Pressure Release Procedure from the fuel line. Before removing the front axle from the transmission, place safety stands under the designated front supporting points.
^ Raise the engine and transmission in a safe manner.
^ For engines not equipped with engine slingers, attach the appropriate slingers and bolts.

CAUTION:
^ When lifting engine, be careful not to strike adjacent parts, especially accelerator wire casing, brake lines, and brake master cylinder.
^ In hoisting the engine, always use engine slingers in a safe manner. Before separating engine and transmission, remove crankshaft position sensor (OBD) from the assembly.
^ Always take extra care not to damage edge of crankshaft position sensor (OBD), or ring gear teeth.





^ Do not loosen front engine mounting insulator cover mounting nuts. When cover is removed, damper oil flows out and mounting insulator will not function.
^ Tighten all bolts and nuts to specification.
