- INSTALL FLYWHEEL HOUSING SIDE COVER
*a Protrusion *b Claw - Align the protrusion with the cylinder block sub-assembly and engage the claw as shown in the illustration to install the flywheel housing side cover.NOTE:
- Make sure the claw makes a click sound, indicating that it fits tightly.
- Replace the flywheel housing side cover with a new one if the claw does not fit tightly or is deformed.
- Align the protrusion with the cylinder block sub-assembly and engage the claw as shown in the illustration to install the flywheel housing side cover.
- CONNECT NO. 5 WATER BY-PASS HOSE (for CVT)
- Connect the No. 5 water by-pass hose to the No. 1 water by-pass pipe and slide the clip to secure it.
- INSTALL HEATER WATER INLET HOSE A
- Install the heater water inlet hose A to the cylinder head sub-assembly and slide the clip to secure it.
- INSTALL HEATER WATER OUTLET HOSE A
- Install the heater water outlet hose A to the No. 1 water by-pass pipe and slide the clip to secure it.
- INSTALL ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR SUB-ASSEMBLY RH
HINT:
Perform this procedure only when replacement of the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH is necessary.
- Install the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH to the vehicle body with the 3 bolts.
Torque: 95 N*m (969 kgf*cm, 70 ft.*lbf)
- Connect the cooler pipe clamp to the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH.
- Install the cooler pipe clamp bracket to the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH with the bolt.
Torque: 9.8 N*m (100 kgf*cm, 87 in.*lbf)
- Install the radiator reserve tank assembly to the vehicle body with the 2 bolts.
Torque: 5.0 N*m (51 kgf*cm, 44 in.*lbf)
- Install the engine mounting insulator sub-assembly RH to the vehicle body with the 3 bolts.
- INSTALL ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR LH
HINT:
Perform this procedure only when replacement of the engine mounting insulator LH is necessary.
- Install the engine mounting insulator LH to the vehicle body with the 4 bolts.
Torque: 95 N*m (969 kgf*cm, 70 ft.*lbf)
- Install the engine mounting insulator LH to the vehicle body with the 4 bolts.
- TEMPORARILY INSTALL REAR ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR
HINT:
Perform this procedure only when replacement of the rear engine mounting insulator is necessary.
- Temporarily install the rear engine mounting insulator to the rear engine mounting bracket with the bolt.
- TEMPORARILY INSTALL FRONT ENGINE MOUNTING INSULATOR
HINT:
Perform this procedure only when replacement of the front engine mounting insulator is necessary.
- Temporarily install the front engine mounting insulator to the front engine mounting bracket with the bolt and nut.
- INSTALL ENGINE ASSEMBLY WITH TRANSAXLE
- Set the engine assembly with transaxle on an engine lifter.NOTE:
- Using height adjustment attachments and plate lift attachments, keep the engine assembly with transaxle horizontal.
- Do not perform any procedures while the engine assembly is suspended because doing so may cause the engine assembly to drop, resulting in injury. However, the engine assembly needs to be suspended when it is installed to or removed from an engine stand.
- To prevent the oil pan sub-assembly from deforming, do not place any attachments under the oil pan sub-assembly of the engine assembly with transaxle.
- Operate the engine lifter and install the engine assembly with transaxle to the vehicle.WARNING:
Do not raise the engine assembly with transaxle more than necessary. If the engine is raised excessively, the vehicle may also be lifted up.
- Set the engine assembly with transaxle on an engine lifter.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
