REPLACEMENT
OIL AND FILTER
• | Prolonged and repeated contact with mineral oil will result in the removal of natural fats from the skin, leading to dryness, irritation and dermatitis. In addition, used engine oil contains potentially harmful contaminants which may cause skin cancer.
• | Exercise caution in order to minimize the length and frequency of contact of your skin to used oil. Wear protective clothing and gloves. Wash your skin thoroughly with soap and water, or use water-less hand cleaner, to remove any used engine oil. Do not use gasoline, thinners, or solvents.
• | In order to preserve the environment, used oil and used oil filter must be disposed of only at designated disposal sites.
1. | Drain engine oil.
(1) | Use a SST(09263-2E000) to remove the oil filter cap(B).
(2) | Remove the oil drain plug(A), and drain the oil into a container.
• | Insert the SST between the oil pan and the ladder frame by tapping it with a plastic hammer in the direction of arrow.
• | After tapping the SST with a plastic hammer along the direction arrow around more than 2/3 edge of the oil pan, remove it from the ladder frame.
• | Do not turn over the SST abruptly without tapping. It be result in damage of the SST.
2. | Replace oil filter.
(1) | Remove the oil filter(B).
(2) | Check and clean the oil filter installation surface.
(3) | Check the part number of the new oil filter is as same as old one.
(4) | Apply clean engine oil to the gasket of a new oil filter.
(5) | Lightly screw the oil filter into place, and tighten it until the gasket contacts the seat.
(6) | Tighten it an additional 3/4 turn.
3. | Refill with engine oil filter.
A. | Clean and install the oil drain plug with a new gasket.
Tightening torque 34.3 ~ 44.1Nm (3.5 ~ 4.5kgf.m, 25.3 ~ 32.5lb-ft)
B. | Fill with fresh engine oil
Capacity When replacing a short engine or a block assembly : 4.8L (5.07 US qts, 4.22 lmp qts) When replacing an oil pan : 4.2 L (4.76 US qts, 3.96 lmp qts) Drain and refil including oil filter : 4.5 L (4.44 US qts, 3.90 lmp qts)
C. | Install the oil filter cap.
4. | Start engine and check for oil leaks.
5. | Recheck engine oil level.
INSTALLATION
1. | Install oil pump.
(1) | Place the inner and outer rotors into front case with the marks facing the oil pump cover side.
(2) | Install the oil pump cover(A) to front case with the 8screws(B).
Tightening torque 7.8 ~ 11.8Nm (0.8 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 5.8 ~ 8.7lb-ft)
2. | Check that the oil pump turns freely.
3. | Install the oil pump on the cylinder block.
(1) | Remove any old liquid gasket and be careful not to drop any oil on the contact surfaces of the oil pump and cylinder block.
A. | Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all the old liquid gasket from the gasket surfaces and sealing grooves.
B. | Using a non-residue solvent, clean both sealing surfaces.
(2) | Apply liquid gasket to the oil pump as shown in the illustration. Use liquid gasket MS 721-40A.
• | To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to the inner threads of the bolt holes.
• | Do not install the parts if five minutes or more have elapsed since applying the liquid gasket. Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing the residue.
• | After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
(3) | Place a new O-ring on the cylinder block.
(4) | Engage the spline teeth of the oil pump drive gear with large teeth of the crankshaft, and slide the oil pump on the crankshaft.
(5) | Install the oil pump with 5bolts. Uniformly tighten the bolts in several passes.
Tightening torque 11.8 ~ 14.7Nm (1.2 ~ 1.5kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.8lbf.ft)
Bolt | Size | Number
A B C | 8 × 25 8 × 35 8 × 45 | 3 1 1
4. | Apply a light coat of oil to the seal lip.
5. | Using the special tool(09214-33000), install the oil seal.
6. | Install the oil pan and oil screen.
7. | Install the timing belt.
8. | Install the drive belt
9. | Install the alternator. (Refer to Alternator in EE Group)
10. | Install the front exhaust pipe.
11. | Install the RH front wheel.
12. | Fill engine with oil.
13. | Start engine and check for leaks.
14. | Recheck engine oil level.
DISASSEMBLY
1. | Remove the relief plunger. Remove the plug(A), spring(B) and relief plunger(C).
INSPECTION
1. | Inspect relief plunger. Coat the valve with engine oil and check that it falls smoothly into the plunger hole by its own weight. If it does not, replace the relief plunger. If necessary, replace the front case.
2. | Inspect relief valve spring. Inspect for distorted or broken relief valve spring.
Standard value Free height : 43.8mm (91.724in.) Load : 4.6kg/39.1mm (10lb/1.547in.)
3. | Inspect rotor side clearance. Using a feeler gauge and precision straight edge, measure the clearance between the rotors and precision straight edge.
Side clearance 0.04 ~ 0.095mm (0.0016 ~ 0.0037in.)
If the side clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the front case.
4. | If the tip clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotor as a set.
5. | Inspect rotor body clearance. Using a feeler gauge, measure the clearance between the outer rotor and body.
Body clearance 0.100 ~ 0.181mm (0.0039 ~ 0.0017in.)
If the body clearance is greater than maximum, replace the rotors as a set. If necessary, replace the front case.
REASSEMBLY
