Notes on installing

Installation is in reverse of removal, note the following:

CAUTION: When doing any repair work, especially in the engine compartment, pay attention to the following due to clearance issues:

Route lines of all types (e.g. for fuel, hydraulic, EVAP canister system, coolant and refrigerant, brake fluid, vacuum) and electrical wiring so that the original path is followed.
To prevent damages to the lines, make sure there is sufficient clearance to all moving or hot components.

Make sure alignment sleeves for engine to transmission are installed in cylinder block. Install if necessary.
