CAUTION:
The crankshaft is heavy. Be careful not to damage it when placing it in the cylinder block.
NOTE:
Thoroughly lubricate the crankshaft main bearing cap bolts with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Make sure all six piston rods are installed into the original cylinder bores during assembly.
NOTE:
All six pistons and rod assemblies are installed the same way. Only one piston and rod assembly is shown.
NOTE:
The connecting rod assemblies are numbered designating to which connecting rod each cap belongs.
NOTE:
Use a hammer handle or a piece of wood to tap the piston and connecting rod into the cylinder bore. Guide the connecting rod bolts over the crankshaft journal.
NOTE:
Make sure during installation of the piston assemblies that the front mark on the piston head faces toward the front of the engine.
NOTE:
Dip the pistons into clean engine oil.
CAUTION:
Install the bearings so the oil hole in the connecting rod aligns with the oil hole in the connecting rod bearing or bearing damage will occur.
NOTE:
Coat the connecting rod bearings with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Make sure the oil pan is free of old sealant material.
NOTE:
Make sure the mating surface between the water pump and the cylinder block are free of old sealant material.
NOTE:
Cylinder head installation is the same for both cylinder heads. Repeat the installation procedure for both cylinder heads.
CAUTION:
The cylinder head bolts located in positions 4, 7, 9, and 12 are 127 mm (5.08 in) in length and all others are 106 mm (4.24 in) in length.
CAUTION:
The cylinder head bolt washers must be installed with the chamfered edge facing away from the cylinder head surface.
CAUTION:
It is necessary to apply clean engine oil to the threads and seating surfaces of the cylinder head bolts before installing.
CAUTION:
Set the camshaft lobes so that the valves are not lifted. Tightening the rocker arm shaft bolts with the valves lifted can result in damaged valve components.
CAUTION:
The rocker arm shaft bolts must be tightened using a two-step method.
NOTE:
Valve cover gasket installation is the same for both sides. Use the installation procedure to install both valve cover gaskets. Make sure that all mating surfaces are free of old sealant material.
NOTE:
Valve cover installation is the same for both sides. Use the installation procedure to install both valve covers. Make sure that all mating surfaces are free of old sealant material.
NOTE:
The camshaft sprockets are marked with L3 for LH camshaft sprocket and R3 for RH camshaft sprocket.
NOTE:
LH shown, RH similar.
CAUTION:
A new timing belt has three white timing marks that indicate the correct timing positions of the camshafts and the crankshaft. These marks will help make sure that the engine is timed correctly. When the engine is correctly timed each white timing mark on the timing belt will be aligned with the corresponding camshaft and crankshaft timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprocket. There should be 40 timing belt teeth between the timing marks on the LH and RH camshaft sprockets and 43 teeth between the timing mark on the LH camshaft sprocket and the timing mark on the crankshaft sprocket
CAUTION:
It is necessary to verify that the camshaft timing marks are aligned with the timing marks on the seal plate, and that the crankshaft sprocket timing mark is aligned with the timing mark on the oil pump. When installing the timing belt, start at the crankshaft sprocket, moving around to the camshaft sprockets in a counter-clockwise direction. Do not allow any slack in the timing belt between the crankshaft sprocket and camshaft sprockets. After all of the timing marks are matched up with the timing belt installed, slip the timing belt onto the timing belt tensioner.
CAUTION:
Timing belt deflection specification is for a cold engine.
NOTE:
Align the timing mark on the distributor shaft to the protruding mark on the housing as shown.
CAUTION:
Make sure the fuel injection supply manifold insulators are installed with the fuel injection supply manifold.
