Part 1

ENGINE

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.

Caution:
^ The crankshaft, the crankshaft sprocket and the pulley are fitted together by friction, using diamond washers between the flange faces on each part. For that reason, the crankshaft sprocket is also unfastened if you loosen the pulley. Therefore, the engine must be retimed each time the damper is removed. Otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

Caution:
^ Due to the precision fit and timing of the balancer shaft assembly, it cannot be removed from the engine block.

Note:
^ See the exploded views under Description and Operation.

Vehicles with manual transaxle





Warning:
^ The clutch disc and clutch pressure plate are heavy and may fall if not held when the bolts are removed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in personal injury.

Caution:
^ Loosen the bolts evenly to prevent pressure plate damage.
