      Note


      • Using height adjustment attachments and plate lift attachments, place the engine assembly with transaxle horizontally.

      • Securely support the engine assembly to prevent it from turning upside down until it is secured to an engine stand.

      • To prevent the oil pan sub-assembly from deforming, do not place any attachments under the oil pan sub-assembly of the engine assembly with transaxle.

      • Do not perform any procedures while the engine assembly is suspended because doing so may cause the engine assembly to drop, resulting in injury. However, the engine assembly needs to be suspended when it is installed to or removed from an engine stand.

      Bolt 90105-C0170

    2. Install the No. 2 engine hanger with the bolt as shown in the illustration.

      Torque:
      43 N*m  { 438 kgf*cm, 32 ft.*lbf }

      Note

      Make sure to install the No. 2 engine hanger with the stopper positioned between the ribs of the cylinder head sub-assembly as shown in the illustration.

    3. Using an engine sling device and engine lift, secure the engine assembly with transaxle.

      Note


      • Adjust the angle of the sling device carefully to prevent the engine assembly or engine hangers from deforming or becoming damaged.

      • Do not perform any procedures while the engine assembly is suspended because doing so may cause the engine assembly to drop, resulting in injury. However, the engine assembly needs to be suspended when it is installed to or removed from an engine stand.
