PRECAUTIONS

Assembly and Installation

- Use torque wrench to tighten bolts or nuts to specification.
- Tighten nuts and bolts in order exactly as specified in the procedure. If a tightening order or procedure is not specified, tighten nuts and bolts equally in several different steps. Start with the nuts or bolts in the center and then tighten diagonally starting with the inside and moving to the outside in a spiral pattern.
- Replace with new gasket, packing, oil seal or O-ring.
- Thoroughly wash, clean, and air-blow each part. Carefully check engine oil or engine coolant passages for restrictions and blockages.
- Avoid damaging sliding or mating surfaces. Before assembling, completely remove foreign materials such as cloth lint or dust, and oil the sliding surfaces.
- After refilling engine coolant, bleed the air from the cooling system.
- After repairing, start the engine and increase engine speed to check for engine coolant leaks, fuel leaks, engine oil leaks, and exhaust gas leaks.
