Installing engine
Installing engine
Procedure
l  Engine attached to engine bracket -T10012-
Installation is carried out in the reverse order; note the following:
  Note
t  Renew self-locking nuts and bolts when performing assembly work.
t  Renew bolts which are tightened to a specified angle as well as oil seals and gaskets.
t  Reinstall all cable ties in the same locations when assembling.
t  Secure all hose connections with the correct type of hose clips (same as original equipment) → Electronic parts catalogue.
t  Clean input shaft splines and (in the case of used clutch plates) the hub splines. Remove corrosion and apply only a very thin coating of grease for clutch plate splines -G 000 100- to the splines. Then move clutch plate back and forth on input shaft until the hub moves smoothly on the shaft. Remove any excess grease.
t  Tightening torques apply only to lightly greased, oiled, phosphated or black-finished nuts and bolts.
t  Additional lubricant such as engine oil or gearbox oil may be used, but do not use lubricant containing graphite.
t  Do not use degreased parts.
t  Tolerance for tightening torques: ± 15 %.
–  Check whether dowel sleeves for centring the engine/gearbox assembly are fitted in the cylinder block; install if necessary.
   
–  Make sure that intermediate plate is engaged on sealing flange -arrow A- and pushed onto dowel sleeves -arrows B-.
Vehicles with manual gearbox:
–  Check that clutch plate is correctly centred → Rep. gr.30.
–  Check clutch release bearing for wear; renew if necessary.
–  Bolt gearbox to engine.

Vehicles with automatic gearbox:
Checking installation depth of torque converter:
If the torque converter has been correctly installed, the distance between the contact surfaces at the bottom of the studs on the torque converter and the joint surface on the torque converter bell housing (with automatic gearbox) -a- is at least 19.5 mm.
  Caution
If the torque converter is not installed correctly, the drive lugs of the torque converter and the ATF pump will be seriously damaged when the gearbox is joined to the engine.
