Removal & Installation: Introduction: Notes
CAUTION:
To prevent damage and contribute to reliable engine performance, observe the following:
- Do not use a jack under the oil pan to raise or support the engine. The small clearance between the oil pan and the oil pump strainer, jacking against oil pan may cause it to bend against strainer, which could damage the oil pick-up unit.
- It should be kept in mind, while working on engine, that 12-volt electrical system is capable of violent and damaging short circuits. When performing any work where electrical terminals can be grounded, ground cable of the battery should be disconnected at battery.
- Any time the air cleaner, throttle body or intake manifold is removed, the intake opening should be covered. This will protect against accidental entrance of foreign material which could follow intake passage into cylinder and cause extensive damage when engine is started.
NOTE:
This article identifies the engine cylinders by number with the order counted from the crankshaft pulley side to the flywheel side. See Fig 1 and Fig 2 .
Removal, overhaul and installation procedures when given by manufacturer are covered in this article. If component removal and installation is primarily an unbolt and bolt-on procedure, then only a torque specification may be furnished.
