Removal

  1. Remove the lower oil pan. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Pan").
  2. Drain the engine coolant. (Refer to Cooling System — Engine Coolant)
  3. Remove the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to Air Intake and Exhaust System - "Air Cleaner").
  4. Remove the expansion tank. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust System - "Expansion Tank")
  5. Remove the intake manifold. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust Systems — Intake Manifold)
  6. Remove the LH/RH cylinder head cover. (Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly - "Cylinder Head Cover").
  7. Remove the drive belt. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Drive Belt")
  8. Remove the idler pulley. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Idler Pulley")
  9. Remove the automatic drive belt tensioner. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Drive Belt Tensioner").
  10. Remove the oil filter housing. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Filter Housing").
  11. Remove the crankshaft damper pulley. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Crankshaft Damper Pulley")
  12. Remove the water pump. (Refer to Cooling System - "Water Pump").
  13. Remove the timing chain cover (A).
    Be careful not to damage the contact surfaces of the cylinder block, cylinder head and timing chain cover.

Installation

  1. Install the timing chain cover.
    1. The sealant application areas on the timing chain cover and mating surfaces (cylinder head, cylinder block and lower oil pan) must be free of engine oil and other contaminants.
    2. Before installing the timing chain cover, apply liquid sealant THREE BOND 1217H to the gap between the cylinder head and cylinder block. Assemble the part within 5 minutes after applying the sealant.

      Bead width: 2.5 mm (0.1 in)

    3. Apply liquid sealant THREE BOND 1217H to the timing chain cover. Assemble the part within 5 minutes after applying the sealant. Apply the sealant without gaps.
      • Fill the T-joint area (6EA*) with sealant.
      • Apply sealant around the dowel pin holes (2 places).
    4. Install a new gasket (A) onto the timing chain cover. Always use a new gasket.
      When installing the timing chain cover, be careful not to remove the sealant applied to the cover by contacting other parts.
    5. Use the locating pins on the cylinder block and the holes in the timing chain cover as a reference. The timing chain cover must be installed in the correct position. Tightening torque: A (19EA): 18.6 ~ 22 N·m; B (2 pcs): 24.5 ~ 26 N·m; C (2 pcs): 58.8 ~ 69 N·m; D (3 pcs): 9.8 ~ 11.8 N·m
    6. Install the water bleed hose onto the timing chain cover.
    7. Do not perform a burn-in and/or purge test within 30 minutes after installing the timing chain cover.
  2. Install the water pump. (Refer to Cooling System - "Water Pump").
  3. Install the crankshaft damper pulley. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Crankshaft Damper Pulley")
  4. Install the oil filter housing. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Filter Housing").
  5. Install the automatic drive belt tensioner. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Drive Belt Tensioner").
  6. Install the tensioner. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Idle Speed").
  7. Install the drive belt. (Refer to Valve Timing System - "Drive Belt").
  8. Install the LH/RH cylinder head cover. (Refer to Cylinder Head Assembly - "Cylinder Head Cover").
  9. Install the intake manifold. (Refer to Air Intake and Exhaust System - "Intake Manifold").
  10. Install the expansion tank. (Refer to Intake and Exhaust System - "Expansion Tank")
  11. Install the air cleaner assembly. (Refer to Air Intake and Exhaust System - "Air Cleaner").
  12. Fill the engine coolant. (Refer to Cooling System - "Engine Coolant").
  13. Install the lower oil pan. (Refer to Lubrication System - "Oil Pan").
    • Fill the engine oil.
    • Fill the radiator and the coolant reservoir with engine coolant.
    • Bleed air from the cooling system.
    • Start the engine and let it run until it warms up (until the radiator fan has cycled 3 or 4 times).
    • Stop the engine and let it cool down. Check the radiator coolant level and add coolant if necessary. This allows trapped air to be purged from the cooling system.
    • Tightly close the radiator cap, then restart the engine and check for leaks.
    • Clean the battery terminal posts and cable clamps with sandpaper. Assemble, then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
    • Inspect for fuel leaks.
    • After assembling the fuel line, turn the ignition ON (do not crank the engine) so the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and the fuel line is pressurized.
    • Repeat this operation two or three times, then check all fuel lines for leaks.
