Removal

Engine removal is not required for this procedure.

CAUTIONUse fender covers to avoid damaging painted surfaces. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the engine coolant temperature drops below normal temperature before removing it. When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket. To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully while holding the connector portion.

Note. Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.

WARNINGIn case of removing the high pressure fuel pump, high pressure fuel pipe, delivery pipe, and injector, there may be injury caused by leakage of the high pressure fuel. So don't do any repair work right after engine stops.

Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant. Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble. Inspect for fuel leakage. After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes. Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line. Bleed air from the cooling system. Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.) Turn Off the engine. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system. Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
