Removal (Cressida)
- Disconnect negative battery cable. Drain cooling system. Remove air cleaner hose and intake air connector pipe.
- Remove support braces and air intake connector. See Figure. Remove PCV tubing with hoses. Disconnect necessary electrical connections, coolant hoses, control cables, fuel lines and vacuum hoses. Remove alternator and support brackets for air intake chamber.
- Place suitable container under cold start injector fuel line. Cover fuel line connection with shop towel. Slowly loosen fuel line union bolt to release fuel pressure. Once fuel pressure is released, remove union bolts, gaskets and cold start injector fuel line.
- Remove EGR pipe retaining bolts. Remove EGR vacuum modulator from bracket. Remove retaining bolts/nuts, air intake chamber and gasket. See Figure.
- Remove fuel pipes from delivery pipe, fuel pressure regulator and fuel filter. Disconnect spark plug wires. Rotate crankshaft so cylinder No. 1 is at TDC of compression stroke. Ensure timing mark on crankshaft pulley aligns with "0" mark on timing belt cover.
- Remove bolt and distributor. Remove oil dipstick. Remove exhaust pipe-to-manifold nuts. Remove nuts, exhaust manifold and gasket.
- Remove coolant outlet housing, No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 valve covers, and gaskets. See Figure. Remove spark plugs. Remove timing belt and camshaft timing pulleys. See TIMING BELT under REMOVAL & INSTALLATION.CAUTION: Cylinder head bolts must be loosened in proper sequence to prevent cylinder head warpage.
- Using Hex Adapter (09043-38100), loosen cylinder head bolts in sequence using several steps. See Figure and Figure
. Remove cylinder head bolts. Lift cylinder head upward, and disconnect coolant by-pass hose from union. Remove cylinder head and gasket.NOTE: If cylinder head removal is difficult, pry between cylinder head and projected area near front of cylinder block. DO NOT damage sealing surfaces on cylinder block and cylinder head.
- Remove No. 2 timing belt cover, delivery pipe, insulators and spacers from cylinder head. DO NOT allow injectors to fall from delivery pipe during removal.
- Remove retaining bolts/nuts, intake manifold, gasket and EGR cooler. See Figure. Remove bolt and heater union, which heater coolant line connects to, from rear of cylinder head. Remove camshafts. See CAMSHAFT .
