Disassembly (Steps 1-39)

CAUTION: Remove the cylinder heads before removing the crankshaft. Failure to do so can result in engine damage.

CAUTION: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.

NOTE: The flexplate, crankshaft rear seal and the crankshaft rear oil slinger must be removed before mounting the engine on the engine stand.

1. Remove the bolts and the flexplate.





2. Using the special tools, remove and discard the crankshaft rear oil slinger.





3. Using the special tools, remove and discard the crankshaft rear seal.





4. Remove the 8 bolts and the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate.





5. Mount the engine on a suitable work stand.
6. Remove the special tool.





7. Remove the 3 bolts and the RH engine support insulator bracket.





8. NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

Remove the cylinder block drain plugs and drain the coolant into a suitable container.





9. NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

Install the cylinder block drain plugs.
^ Tighten to 24 Nm (18 ft. lbs.)





10. Disconnect the 2 coolant hoses from the oil filter adapter.





11. NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.

Disconnect the RH and LH camshaft position (CMP) sensor electrical connectors.





12. Remove the nut and the RH radio ignition interference capacitor.





13. NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.

Disconnect the RH and LH variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid electrical connector.





14. Disconnect the 2 engine wiring harness retainers from the RH valve cover studs.





15. Disconnect the electrical connector retainer from the coolant tube.





16. Disconnect the cylinder head temperature (CHT) sensor electrical connector.





17. Disconnect the 2 engine wiring harness retainers from the LH valve cover studs.





18. Remove the nut and the LH radio ignition interference capacitor.





19. NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

Remove the 8 bolts and the 8 ignition coils.





20. Remove the engine wiring harness from the engine assembly.
21. Remove the 2 bolts and the 2 knock sensors (KS).





22. Remove the stud bolt and the coolant tube.
^ Discard the O-ring seal.





23. Remove the bolt and the RH CMP sensor.





24. Remove the bolt and the LH CMP sensor.





25. Remove the bolt and the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor.





26. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

CAUTION: When removing the valve cover, make sure to avoid damaging the VCT solenoid.

NOTE: The fasteners are part of the valve cover and should not be removed.

NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

Loosen the fasteners and remove the valve covers.
^ Clean the valve cover mating surface of the cylinder head with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.
^ Inspect the valve cover gasket. If the gasket is damaged, remove and discard the gasket. Clean the valve cover gasket groove with soap and water or a suitable solvent.





27. Remove the bolts and the LH engine support insulator-to-cylinder block bracket.





28. Remove the 8 nuts, the 8 studs and the RH exhaust manifold.
^ Discard the gaskets, nuts and studs.
^ Inspect the exhaust manifold.





29. Remove the bolt and the oil level indicator tube.
^ Discard the O-ring seal.





30. Remove the 3 bolts and the LH exhaust manifold heat shield.





31. Remove the 8 nuts, the 8 studs and the LH exhaust manifold.
^ Discard the gaskets, nuts and studs.
^ Inspect the exhaust manifold.





32. Remove the bolts and the oil filter adapter.
^ Discard the gasket.





33. Remove the bolts, the coolant pump pulley and the 3 accessory drive belt idler pulleys.





34. Remove the bolts and the accessory drive belt tensioner.





35. Remove the coolant pump bolts.





36. Remove the coolant pump from the cylinder block.
^ Discard the O-ring seal.





37. Remove and discard the crankshaft pulley bolt. Using the special tool, remove the crankshaft pulley.





38. Using the special tool, remove and discard the crankshaft front seal.





39. Remove the bolts, oil pan and discard the oil pan gasket.
