Precautions in Draining Engine Coolant

Drain coolant only after the engine has cooled down.

Precautions for Disconnecting Fuel Piping

Operation should be done in a place free from fire.
Release fuel pressure before operation. (Electric controlled
specifications): Refer to "Release of Fuel Pressure" in EC
section.
After disconnecting, plug the pipe to prevent fuel from draining.
Precautions for Removing and
Disassembling
Use correct STs in the specified position. Always pay attention
to safety.
Be careful not to lose surface accuracy of mating or sliding
surfaces.
To prevent foreign material from entering the engine, close
openings with appropriate tape as necessary.
Arrange disassembled parts in their normal positions in order to
simplify locating the cause of damage or excessive wear and to
ensure correct reassembly.
As a rule, nuts and bolts must be untightened in a diagonal
manner starting from an outer one. If a particular untightening
sequence is provided separately, follow the sequence.
Precautions for Inspection, Correction, and
Replacement
Following
the
inspection
adequately and repair or replace as necessary. Perform the
same inspections even for new parts and replace them if
necessary.

Precautions for Assembly and Installation

Always use a torque wrench when tightening bolts and nuts.
Unless otherwise specified, tighten nuts and bolts from inside to
outside in a crisscross pattern. Tighten them gradually and
evenly in 2 to 3 steps.
Always replace gasket, packing, oil seals, and O-rings with new
ones.
For each part, perform adequate cleaning/washing and drying
with a dryer. In particular, ensure that the oil and coolant
passages are free from plugging and clogging.
Remove any dirt and lint on sliding and mating surfaces. Before
assembly, apply ample amount of engine oil to sliding surfaces.
If coolant was drained, bleed air from the system.
After assembly, start engine and increase the engine speed,
then check coolant, fuel, oil, grease, and exhaust gas for
leakage.
