PRECAUTIONS Parts Requiring Angular Tightening
q

q q q

Use an angle wrench for the final tightening of the following engine parts: (1) Cylinder head bolts (2) Main bearing cap bolts (3) Connecting rod cap nuts Do not use a torque value for final tightening. The torque value for these parts is for a preliminary step. Ensure thread and seat surfaces are clean and coated with engine oil.

Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
a. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil from these areas. b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces. (Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant Part No. 999MP-A7007 or equivalent.) q For oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in). q For areas except oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in). c. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes (unless otherwise specified). d. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating. e. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine coolant.

If compression in one or more cylinders is low: a. Pour a small amount of engine oil into cylinders through spark plug holes. b. Retest compression. q If adding oil helps compression, piston rings may be worn or damaged. If so, replace piston rings after checking piston. q If pressure stays low, a valve may be sticking or seating improperly. Inspect and repair valve and valve seat. (Refer to SDS.) If valve or valve seat is damaged excessively, replace. q If compression stays low in two cylinders that are next to each other: a. The cylinder head gasket may be leaking, or b. Both cylinders may have valve component damage. Inspect and repair as necessary. 12. Reconnect fuel pump fuse, all fuel injector harness connectors, and camshaft position sensor harness connector at the distributor and reinstall spark plugs. 13. Erase the DTC stored in the ECM.

AT q Prior to tightening bearing cap bolts, shift crankshaft back and forth to properly seat the bearing cap. q Tighten bearing cap bolts gradually in two or three FA stages. Start with center bearing and move outward as shown in figure. q After securing bearing cap bolts, make sure crankshaft RA turns smoothly by hand.

5. Install pistons with connecting rods. a. Install them into corresponding cylinders with Tool. q Be careful not to scratch cylinder wall with connecting rod. q Arrange so that front mark on piston head faces toward engine front. q Be careful not to scratch crankshaft journals with connecting rod bolts. q Apply new engine oil to piston rings and sliding surface of piston.

b. Install connecting rod bearing caps. Apply new engine oil to threads and seat surfaces. Tighten connecting rod bearing cap nuts in the following procedure: (1) Tighten to 14 to 16 N m (1.4 to 1.6 kg-m, 10 to 12 ft-lb). (2) Turn all nuts 60 to 65 degrees clockwise. If an angle wrench is not available, mark all connecting rod bearing cap nuts on the side facing engine front. Then, turn each nut 60 to 65 degrees clockwise.
