Engine, Installing
Note. During assembly, replace self-locking nuts and bolts. Always replace bolts that are tightened to torque as well as sealing rings, gaskets and O-rings. Secure all hose connections with hose clamps appropriate for the model . During installation, reinstall all heat insulation sleeves and heat shields at the same locations. During installation, all cable ties must be re-installed at the same location.
- Install left and right engine supports.
- Make sure alignment sleeves for engine to transmission are installed in cylinder block. Install if necessary.
Scheme 113
- On a vehicle with automatic transmission, check whether bearing bushing - arrow - is inserted at rear of crankshaft. Drive in bushing if necessary.
- Before guiding the engine and transmission together, rotate the torque converter and the engine drive plate so the holes and the threaded holes are at the same height as the opening on the removed starter - arrows -.
- Use new ribbed bolts to secure the torque converter to the drive plate .
- Bolt transmission to engine.
Note. Tightening specifications only apply to lightly greased, oiled, phosphated or blackened nuts and bolts. Additional lubricants, such as engine or transmission oil are permissible, although lubricants containing graphite are not. Do not use any degreased parts. Tolerance for torque specifications 15%.
