WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
- Mount the engine on a suitable engine stand. Refer to Setting (FWD) or Setting (AWD).
- Drain any remaining engine oil and engine coolant (if necessary).
- Remove drain plugs from cylinder block.
- Remove cylinder head. Refer to Removal and Installation .
- Remove oil pan (upper). Refer to Removal and Installation .
- Remove the water pump housing. Refer to Exploded View .
- Remove knock sensors.CAUTION: Carefully handle knock sensor avoiding shocks.
- Remove crankshaft position sensor.CAUTION:
- Avoid impacts such as dropping.
- Do not disassemble.
- Keep crankshaft position sensor away from metal particles.
- Do not place crankshaft position sensor in a location where it is exposed to magnetism.
- Remove piston and connecting rod assembly with the following procedure:
- Before removing piston and connecting rod assembly, check the connecting rod side clearance. Refer to CYLINDER BLOCK : Inspection .
- Position crankshaft pin corresponding to connecting rod to be removed onto the bottom dead center.
- Remove connecting rod cap. Number connecting rod caps so they can be assembled in the same position and direction.
- Using a suitable tool, push piston and connecting rod assembly out to cylinder head side.CAUTION:
- Do not damage matching surface with connecting rod cap.
- Do not damage cylinder wall and crankshaft pin when removing piston and connecting rod assembly.
NOTE: Number the pistons and rods so they can be installed in the same position.
- Remove connecting rod bearings.CAUTION: When removing them note the installation position. Keep them in the correct order.
- Remove piston rings from piston.
- Before removing piston rings check the piston ring side clearance. Refer to CYLINDER BLOCK : Inspection .
- Remove piston rings using suitable tool (A).CAUTION:
- When removing piston rings, do not damage the piston.
- Do not damage piston rings by expanding them excessively.
- Remove piston from connecting rod using the following procedure:
- Remove ladder assembly using the following procedure:
- Measure crankshaft end play before loosening ladder assembly bolts. Refer to CYLINDER BLOCK : Inspection .
- Remove crankshaft (2).CAUTION:
- Do not damage or deform signal plate (1) mounted on crankshaft.
- When setting crankshaft on a flat floor surface, use a block of wood to avoid contact between signal plate and floor surface.
- Do not remove signal plate unless it is necessary.
NOTE: When removing or installing signal plate, use socket (size T30). - Remove main bearing (upper and lower) and thrust bearings from cylinder block and ladder assembly.CAUTION: When removing bearings note the installation position. Keep them in the correct order.NOTE: When removing the rear oil seal without removing the cylinder block, use a suitable tool to pull it out between the crankshaft and block.
- Remove oil jets (1) from cylinder block (if necessary).CAUTION: When removing oil jet assemblies note the installation position. Keep them in the correct order.
: Engine front
- Inspect dowel pins, welch plugs and threaded plugs and remove if necessary.
