When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

• Route lines of all types (for example fuel, hydraulic, Evaporative Emission (EVAP), coolant, refrigerant, brake fluid and vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.

• To prevent damage to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

- Insert new centering sleeves in the cylinder block.

- Engage the intermediate plate at the sealing flange and slide it onto the alignment sleeves - arrows -.







- Replace the needle bearings in the crankshaft. Refer to => [ Crankshaft Needle Bearings ] Service and Repair.

- Perform a road test.

• Observe the safety precautions that apply to road tests. Refer to => [ If special testing equipment is required during a road test, note the following: ] Fuel Supply.

- Then, perform a vehicle system test and repair any occurring malfunctions.

• If the DTC memory was erased, the readiness code must be generated again. Refer to "Guided Fault Finding" in the vehicle diagnostic tester.
