Engine














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, may cause engine failure.

NOTE: For additional information, refer to the exploded view under the Assembly procedure.

All engines

56. Remove the pin-type retainer and the cover.





57. Remove the 2 bolts and the engine lifting eye.





58. Remove the bolt and the upper intake manifold support bracket.





59. Remove the bolt and the RH CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor.





60. Remove the coolant bypass hose from the thermostat housing.





61. Remove the 4 bolts and the fuel rail and injectors as an assembly.





62. Remove the 3 thermostat housing-to-lower intake manifold bolts.
- Remove the thermostat housing and discard the gasket.






63. NOTICE: If the engine is repaired or replaced because of upper engine failure, typically including valve or piston damage, check the intake manifold for metal debris. If metal debris is found, install a new intake manifold. Failure to follow these instructions can result in engine damage.

Remove the 10 bolts and the lower intake manifold.
- Discard the gaskets.






64. Disconnect and remove the CHT (Cylinder Head Temperature) sensor jumper harness.





65. Remove the bolt and the LH CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor.





66. Remove the bolt and the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor.





67. NOTICE: A new oil cooler must be installed or severe damage to the engine can occur.

If equipped, remove the 6 bolts (4 shown) and the oil cooler.
- Discard the oil cooler and the gaskets.






68. NOTE: Engine without oil cooler shown, engine with oil cooler similar.

Remove the 3 bolts and the oil filter adapter.

- Discard the gasket.






69. Remove the EOP (Engine Oil Pressure) switch.





70. NOTE: LH shown, RH similar.

Remove the 6 bolts and the 6 coil-on-plugs.






71. Loosen the 9 stud bolts and remove the LH valve cover.
- Discard the gasket.






72. Loosen the bolt, the 8 stud bolts and remove the RH valve cover.
- Discard the gasket.






73. NOTE: VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) solenoid seal removal shown, spark plug tube seal similar.
Inspect the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) solenoid seals and the spark plug tube seals. Remove any damaged seals.

- Using the VCT (Variable Camshaft Timing) Spark Plug Tube Seal Remover and Handle, remove the seal(s).






74. Using the Strap Wrench, remove the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer.
- Discard the bolt.






75. Using the 3 Jaw Puller, remove the crankshaft pulley.
