NOTE:
Index-mark the hood hinge location to aid in hood installation.
NOTE:
If the engine is repaired or replaced because of upper engine failure, typically including valve or piston damage, check the intake manifold for metal debris. If metal debris is found, install a new intake manifold. Failure to follow these instructions can result in engine damage.
NOTE:
The torque converter must be installed in it's original orientation to the flexplate or engine damage may occur.
NOTE:
The upper 2 transmission-to-engine bolts will be removed later.
NOTE:
Only use hand tools when removing the engine support insulator nuts or the engine support insulator may be damaged.
NOTE:
If during nut removal the stud bolt is extracted from the engine support insulator, separate the nut from the stud bolt prior to stud bolt installation.
NOTE:
Only use hand tools when loosening the engine support insulator through bolt or the engine support insulator may be damaged.
NOTE:
While servicing the power steering system, care should be taken to prevent the entry of foreign material or failure of the power steering components may result.
NOTE:
On Four-Wheel Drive (4WD), it may be necessary to reposition the transfer case vent hose to access the bolts.
