REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
 
 
<<A>> FLYWHEEL BOLT REMOVAL
1. Use special tool MD998781 to secure the flywheel.
2. Remove the flywheel bolts.
 

 
 
<<B>> BALANCER CHAIN TENSIONER/BALANCER SHAFT AND OIL PUMP MODULE/BALANCER CHAIN/CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET REMOVAL
1.
cautionReliably secure the plunger of the chain tensioner with hard wire to prevent it from jumping out of the main body.
Push in the balancer chain tensioner lever by hand and push in the plunger of the chain tensioner until it contacts the bottom. Then, insert hard wire (piano wire, etc.) of Φ1.5 mm (0.06 inch) or hexagonal bar wrench [1.5 mm (0.06 inch)] into the plunger fixing hole to secure.
2. Remove the balancer chain tensioner.
3.
cautionThe balancer shaft and oil pump module must not be disassembled because of assembly warranty.
Remove the crankshaft sprocket, balancer chain and balancer shaft and oil pump module as a unit.
 

 
 
<<C>> LADDER FRAME REMOVAL
1. Pry the illustrated position with a screwdriver or tap the boss with a hammer.
2. If the ladder frame does not come off, insert a flatblade screwdriver into the gap between the ladder frame and bearing cap as shown in the illustration and lightly pry it to remove the ladder frame.
 
 
 
 
INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS
 
 
>>A<< LADDER FRAME INSTALLATION
1.
cautionBe sure to remove liquid gasket that has entered mounting holes.
Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder block and ladder frame.
2.
cautionSufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.
Degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is applied and the contact surface between the cylinder block and ladder frame.
3. Squeeze liquid gasket of Φ2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness and apply it to the illustrated position of the ladder frame.Squeeze liquid gasket of Φ4 ± 0.5 mm (0.2 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness and apply it to the illustrated position "A" of the ladder frame.
Specified sealant:
  • Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent
noteInstall the ladder frame immediately after applying sealant.
4.
cautionAfter the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
Tighten the ladder frame to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 24 ± 2 N·m (18 ± 1 ft-lb)
 

 
 
>>B<< CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET/BALANCER CHAIN/ BALANCER SHAFT AND OIL PUMP MODULE INSTALLATION
1. When the new balancer shaft and oil pump module is installed, supply oil to the oil pump and the balancer shaft bearing in the balancer shaft and oil pump module using the following procedures.
(1) Clean the inside of the removed oil pan. Put the balancer shaft and oil pump module carefully into the oil pan so that the oil inlet can be upward.
(2) Pour new engine oil so that the two-third of the balancer shaft and oil pump module can be immersed.
(3) Also, pour new engine oil [approximately 50 cm3 (3.1 cu.in.)] from the oil inlet.
(4) By giving four clockwise rotations or more to the balancer shaft sprocket, the oil is supplied to the oil pump and the balancer shaft bearing.
2. Wipe the dirt on the crankshaft sprocket and the crankshaft using a rag, and then remove the grease from the portion shown in the illustration.
noteRemove grease to prevent a drop in the coefficient of friction of the pressing portion caused by adhesion of oil.
3. Align the timing mark of the balancer shaft sprocket with that of the balancer shaft and oil pump module.
4. Insert a hexagonal bar wrench [3 mm (0.1 inch)] as illustrated to prevent the balancer shaft sprocket from moving.
5. Loop the balancer chain, aligning its link plate (blue) with the timing mark.
6. Install the crankshaft sprocket on the crankshaft.
noteDo not push in the crankshaft sprocket to the normal position. Push it in only up to the tip of the crankshaft.
7. While slanting the balancer shaft and oil pump module, align the link plate (blue) of another balancer chain with the timing mark of the crankshaft sprocket to loop. Gradually push in the crankshaft sprocket and fit it into the key groove of the crankshaft. Then, install the balancer shaft and oil pump module on the ladder frame.
noteMake sure that the balancer shaft and oil pump module is completely intimate contact with the ladder frame.
noteMake sure that the key groove of the crankshaft is aligned with the contact surface of the cylinder block and ladder frame as shown in the illustration.
8. Apply an adequate and minimum amount of engine oil to the threads and bearing surfaces of the balancer shaft and oil pump module bolts.
9. Tighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module mounting bolts to the specified torque in the order of number shown in the figure.
Tightening torque: 20 N·m (15 ft-lb)
10. Retighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module mounting bolts to the specified torque in the order of number shown in the figure.
Tightening torque: 44 N·m (32 ft-lb)
11. Loosen each balancer shaft and oil pump module mounting bolts fully in the reverse sequence to that shown.
12. Tighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module mounting bolts again to the specified torque in the order of number shown in the figure.
Tightening torque: 20 N·m (15 ft-lb)
13. After tightening to the specified torque, tighten the balancer shaft and oil pump module mounting bolts to 135 degrees, using special tool MB991614, in the order of number shown in the figure.
14. Pull out the hexagonal bar wrench from the balancer shaft sprocket.
15. Make sure that the respective timing mark is aligned with each other as illustrated.
16. Install the balancer chain tensioner lever and balancer chain guide.
 

 
 
>>C<< BALANCER CHAIN TENSIONER INSTALLATION
1. Attach the chain tensioner to the ladder frame.
2.
cautionInstall the chain tensioner precisely in place after installing the tensioner lever and chain guide to prevent the plunger of the chain tensioner from jumping out.
Remove the hard wire (piano wire, etc.) or hexagonal bar wrench from the tensioner. This enables the plunger of the chain tensioner to push the balancer tensioner lever to keep the balancer chain tight.
 

 
 
>>D<< REAR OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
cautionDo not apply oil to the circumference of the oil seal and oil seal pressing hole on the cylinder block side to prevent teeth from pulling out.
After applying a small amount of engine oil to the oil seal lip, use special tool MD998718 to press fit the oil seal.
 

 
 
>>E<< FLYWHEEL BOLT INSTALLATION
1. Clean off sealant and oil of thread of crankshaft and flywheel bolt.
2. Use special tool MD998781 to secure the flywheel.
3. Apply engine oil to thread of crankshaft and bolt seat area of flywheel.
4. Apply the sealant to the thread of flywheel bolt.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1324 or equivalent
5. Tighten the flywheel bolts to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 40 N·m (30 ft-lb)
6. Tighten the flywheel bolts to the specified torque again in the order shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 130 N·m (96 ft-lb)
 

 
 
>>F<< PEAK TORQUE LIMITER INSTALLATION
1. Tighten the six bolts securing the peak torque limiter by hand.
2. Tighten the peak torque limiter to the specified torque in the order shown in the illustration.
Tightening torque: 27 ± 1 N·m (19.9 ± 0.7 ft-lb)
