coolant temperature drops below normal temperature before removing
it.
|
• |
When handling a metal gasket, take care not to fold the
gasket or damage the contact surface of the gasket.
|
• |
To avoid damage, unplug the wiring connectors carefully
while holding the connector portion.
|
|
• |
Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnection.
|
• |
Turn the crankshaft pulley so that the No.1 piston is
at TDC (Top dead center).

|
|
18. |
Check the connecting rod side clearance.
|
19. |

|
20. |
Remove piston and connecting rod assemblies.
(1) |
Using a ridge reamer, remove all the carbon from the top
of the cylinder.
|
(2) |
