Engine

Assembly (Steps 40-78)

40. NOTE: Do not tighten the exhaust manifold-to-exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve fitting at this time. The fitting will be tightened after the intake is installed and the other fitting is connected to the EGR valve

Position the exhaust manifold-to-EGR valve tube. Finger tighten the fitting.





41. Position a new exhaust manifold gasket and the RH exhaust manifold and install new bolts and stud bolts. Tighten the bolts and stud bolts in the sequence shown in 2 stages.
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs).
^ Stage 2: Tighten to 23 Nm (17 ft. lbs).





42. Position the RH engine support insulator bracket and install the bolts.
^ Tighten to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs).





43. Position the LH engine support insulator bracket and install the bolt and the stud bolts.
^ Tighten to 48 Nm (35 ft. lbs).





44. Position the starter splash shield and install the bolt and the nut.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs).





45. CAUTION: A synchronizer alignment gauge must be used during the installation of the synchronizer assembly. Failure to follow this procedure will result in the fuel system being out of time with the engine, possibly causing engine damage.

CAUTION: After installation, do not loosen the synchronizer bolt and rotate the synchronizer assembly. The synchronizer assembly is not adjustable. Do not loosen the synchronizer bolt after the alignment tool has been removed in order to align the CMP electrical connector for any reason. If the electrical connector is not in the correct position, the synchronizer assembly must be removed, the alignment tool and the assembly reinstalled if the engine has not been rotated from TDC of the compression stroke on the No. 1 cylinder.

Install the special tool on the camshaft synchronizer by rotating the tool until it engages the notch in the camshaft synchronizer housing.





46. NOTE: Always coat the synchronizer drive gear with clean engine oil prior to installation.

NOTE: During installation, the arrow on the special tool will rotate clockwise as the gears engage.

Install the camshaft synchronizer housing assembly so the arrow on the synchronizer alignment gauge is 38 degrees from the centerline of the engine.





47. Install the camshaft synchronizer retaining bolt.
^ Tighten to 30 Nm (22 ft. lbs).





48. Install the camshaft position (CMP) sensor.
^ Tighten to 3 Nm (27 inch lbs).





49. 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.

NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply 4 beads of silicone gasket and sealant.





50. Install new intake manifold gaskets and end seals.
^ Position the intake manifold gaskets.
^ Position the end seals.





51. Install the lower intake manifold and bolts. Tighten in sequence shown.
^ Tighten to 29 Nm (21 ft. lbs).





52. NOTE: Install new O-ring seals on the fuel injectors and lubricate them with clean engine oil.

Position the fuel rail and fuel injectors and install the bolts.





53. Install the push rods and the rocker arms.
^ Install the push rods.
^ Install the rocker arms and bolts.
^ Tighten to 32 Nm (24 ft. lbs).





54. 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.

NOTE: Clean the valve cover gasket sealing surface with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep.

Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the 4 intake-to-cylinder head seams.





55. Install new valve cover gaskets.





56. Install the valve covers and bolts. Tighten in the sequence shown.
^ Tighten to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs).





57. Using the special tool, install the crankshaft damper.





58. Install the bolt.
^ Tighten to 145 Nm (107 ft. lbs).





59. Install the crankshaft pulley and the 4 bolts.
^ Tighten to 63 Nm (46 ft. lbs).





60. Install the coolant pump pulley and the 4 bolts.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs).





61. Install the generator mounting bracket and the bolts.
^ Tighten to 47 Nm (35 ft. lbs).





62. Position the ignition coil assembly and install the bolts.
^ Tighten to 6 Nm (53 inch lbs).





63. Position the RH engine lifting eye and install the nuts.
^ Tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs).





64. Position the LH engine lifting eye and install the nuts.
^ Tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs).





65. Position the engine ground strap and install the bolt.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs).





66. Install the spark plug wires. additional information, refer to Ignition System.
67. Position the wiring harness and attach the wiring harness retainers to the valve cover studs. Connect the fuel injector, engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor and ignition coil electrical connectors.





68. Connect the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valve and differential pressure feedback EGR sensor electrical connectors. Attach the wiring harness retainer to the differential pressure feedback EGR sensor.





69. Connect the camshaft position sensor, the oil pressure switch, and, if the vehicle is equipped with a manual transmission, the knock sensor electrical connectors. Attach the wiring harness and electrical connector retainers.





70. Attach the wiring harness retainer to the generator.





71. Attach the wiring harness retainer and connect the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor electrical connector.
