  2. Both right and left axle shaft length must be within 7.4-7.7" (188-196 mm). If axle shaft length requires adjustment, support engine/transaxle assembly with a floor jack. Loosen vertical bolts on engine mount near timing belt cover and front engine mount bracket-to-front crossmember bolts. Pry engine right or left as required to obtain correct axle shaft length.
  3. Tighten mounting bolts and nuts to specification. Recheck axle shaft length. Install damper weight (if equipped) and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS  at end of this article. Fill cooling system.
NOTE: To fill and bleed cooling system, remove engine temperature sending unit, located in front of thermostat housing, near spark plug wire holder. Fill cooling system until coolant reaches this level. Install sending unit and tighten to 60 INCH lbs. (7 N.m). Finish filling cooling system.
