NOTICE: 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.

NOTICE: During engine assembly do not allow the piston connecting rods to come in contact with the piston cooling jets or engine damage may occur.

NOTE: During engine assembly it may become necessary to check bearing clearances and end play.


101. Tighten the 4 coolant pump pulley bolts to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).





102. Connect the 2 coolant hoses to the oil cooler.





103. NOTE: Lubricate the new thermostat housing O-ring seal with clean engine coolant.

Using a new thermostat housing O-ring seal, install the thermostat housing and the 2 bolts.

- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).






104. NOTE: Installation of new seals is only required if damaged seals were removed.

Using the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) Spark Plug Tube Seal Installer and Handle, install new spark plug tube seals.






105. NOTE: Installation of new seals is only required if damaged seals were removed.

Using the Differential Bearing Cone Installer and Handle, install new VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) variable force solenoid seal(s).






106. NOTE: If the valve cover is not installed and the fasteners tightened within 5 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply an 8 mm (0.31 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the engine front cover-to-LH cylinder head joints.






107. Position the LH valve cover and new gasket on the cylinder head.
- Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).






108. Install the oil level indicator.

109. NOTE: Installation of new seals is only required if damaged seals were removed.

Using the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) Spark Plug Tube Seal Installer and Handle, install new spark plug tube seals.






110. NOTE: Installation of new seals is only required if damaged seals were removed.

Using the Differential Bearing Cone Installer and Handle, install new VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) variable force solenoid seal(s).






111. NOTE: If the valve cover is not installed and the fasteners tightened within 5 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply an 8 mm (0.31 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the engine front cover-to-RH cylinder head joints.






112. Position the RH valve cover and new gasket on the cylinder head.
- Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).






113. Position the wiring harness on the engine.
- Connect the 2 KS (Knock Sensor) electrical connectors.






114. Install the ground wire and nut to the engine front cover stud bolt.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).






115. Attach the wiring harness retainer to the engine front cover stud bolt.





116. Connect the Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch electrical connector and the 3 wiring harness retainers.





117. If removed, install the LH intake and exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) sensors and the 2 bolts.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

- Connect the LH intake and exhaust CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor electrical connectors.






118. Install the heat shield and the 2 bolts to the LH cylinder head.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).






119. Connect the CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) sensor and the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor electrical connectors.





120. Install the RH intake and exhaust CMP (Camshaft Position) sensors and the 2 bolts.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).

- Connect the RH intake and exhaust CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor electrical connectors.
