Engine: Service and Repair

ENGINE

Removal
1. Remove hood; for easier installation, scribe marks should be made at hood hinge and the hinge bracket.
2. Disconnect battery.
3. Drain coolant into a suitable container.
4. Remove air cleaner.
5. On cars equipped with air conditioning, disconnect compressor ground wire from the mounting bracket. Remove the electrical connector from the compressor clutch, remove the compressor to mounting bracket attaching bolts, and position the compressor out of the way.
6. Remove fan blade, pulleys, and belts.
7. Disconnect radiator and heater hoses from engine and fasten them out of the way.
8. Remove fan shroud assembly.
9. Remove power steering pump to mounting bracket bolts and position pump assembly out of the way.
10. Disconnect fuel pump hoses and plug hoses.
11. Disconnect battery ground cable from engine.
12. Disconnect the vacuum supply hose from carburetor to the vacuum manifold. On cars so equipped, the vacuum modulator, load leveler, and power brake vacuum hoses should all be disconnected at the engine.
13. Disconnect accelerator cable at carburetor.
14. Disconnect generator, oil and coolant sending unit switch connections at the engine and remove generator.
15. Disconnect engine to body ground strap(s) at engine.
16. Raise car, disconnect the cable shield from the engine (if so equipped).
17. Disconnect exhaust pipes from exhaust manifolds.
18. Remove lower flywheel or converter cover.
19. Remove flywheel to converter attaching bolts. Scribe chalk mark on the flywheel and converter for reassembly alignment (This is not necessary on manual transmissions. Remove manual transmission with engine).
20. Remove transmission to engine attaching bolts automatic transmissions. On manual transmissions disconnect propeller shaft, shift linkage, clutch equalizer shaft and transmission mount.
21. Remove motor mount through bolts and cruise control bracket if equipped.
22. Lower the car and support the transmission (automatic transmission only).
23. Attach a lifting device to the engine and raise the engine enough so mounting through-bolts can be removed. Make certain wiring harness, vacuum hoses, and other parts are free and clear before lifting engine out of car.
24. Raise engine far enough to clear engine mounts, raise transmission support accordingly and alternately until engine can be disengaged from the transmission and removed.

Installation
1. Slowly lower engine into car until engine and transmission are engaged and scribe marks are aligned.
2. It may be necessary to alternately raise and lower transmission to fit motor mount through-bolts into position. Install through-bolt nuts and torque to specifications.
3. Raise car and install transmission to engine attaching bolts. Torque flywheel housing to engine bolts to specifications. Install flywheel cover and torque bolts to specifications.
4. Connect crossover pipe to exhaust manifold and torque bolts to specifications.
5. Connect the starter cables to the starter and cable shield to the engine block.
6. Lower the car and reconnect the body ground strap to the engine, the coolant and oil switch sending unit connectors, the throttle control cable, all vacuum and water hoses, and the emission control line from the canister to the air cleaner.
7. Connect the battery ground cable to the engine.
8. Connect the fuel lines to the fuel pump.
9. Reposition the power steering pump into the pump brackets and secure.
10. Install fan shroud.
11. Install pulley, fan, and belts. Adjust belt tension as specified in the Cooling System.
12. Reinstall air conditioning compressor to bracket.
13. Reinstall air cleaner.
14. Reinstall coolant and check to make certain proper level is attained. After complete engine assembly, start engine and recheck for proper fill.
