Engine

REMOVAL & INSTALLATION

Constantly be aware of the dangers involved when working on an automobile and take the proper precautions. Use a safe chain hoist or floor crane of the proper capacity. Work on level ground. Make sure the engine sling is secured properly before lifting the engine. When working underneath a raised car always support it on jackstands. Be careful not to spill brake fluid or engine coolant on painted surfaces of the car body. Cover the front fenders if possible. Remember safety is always the most important rule.

ff–1 and 1300G

NOTE: On ff–1 and 1300G models, the engine and transaxle must be removed as an assembly.

1. Disconnect the battery cables, negative first.
2. Remove the spare tire from the engine compartment.

    1. Remove the exhaust pipe-to-cylinder head nuts.
    2. Remove the exhaust pipe–to–pre–muffler nuts/bolts.
    3. While supporting the exhaust pipe by hand, remove the exhaust pipe–to–transaxle bracket bolts, then lower the exhaust pipe.
15. If equipped with an automatic transaxle, remove the torque converter bolts by performing the following procedures:
    1. Remove the timing hole cover from the torque converter housing.
    2. Through the timing hole, remove the torque converter–to–drive plate bolts.

       WARNING
       Be careful that the bolts DO NOT fall into the torque converter housing.

16. Connect a chain hoist and a cable to the engine, with hooks at the front and rear engine hangers. Adjust the hoist so that the weight of the engine is supported but DO NOT raise the engine.
17. Using a floor jack, position it under the transaxle to support it's weight when the engine is removed.
18. Remove the engine–to–transaxle nuts (four each on top and bottom).
19. Remove the front engine mount–to–crossmember nuts.
20. Using the hoist, raise the engine slightly, about 1 in. (25mm). Keeping it level, move the engine forward, off the transaxle input shaft.

    WARNING
    DO NOT raise the engine more than 1 in. (25mm) prior to removing it from the input shaft or damage may occur to the driveshaft double offset joints. If equipped with a manual transaxle, be sure that the input shaft does not interfere with the clutch spring assembly; if equipped with an automatic transaxle, leave the torque converter on the transaxle input shaft.

21. Hoist the engine carefully until it is completely out of the vehicle, then secure it onto a workstand.

    To install:

22. When installing the engine, use new gaskets and observe the following torque specifications:
    • Transaxle-to-engine bolts: 34–40 ft. lbs. (46–54 Nm)
    • Torque converter bolts: 17–20 ft. lbs. (23–27 Nm)
    • Crossmember bolts: 14–24 ft. lbs. (18–32 Nm)
    • Crankshaft damper nut: 7–10 ft. lbs. (9–13 Nm)
    • Exhaust pipe-to-engine bolt: 19–22 ft. lbs. (25–29 Nm)
    • Premuffler nuts: 31–38 ft. lbs. (42–51 Nm)
    • Radiator bolts: 6–10 ft. lbs. (8–13 Nm)
23. Adjust of the clutch and accelerator linkage. Refill the crankcase and cooling system.

    NOTE: Use care not to damage the input shaft splines or the clutch spring when lowering the engine in place.

24. When installing the crankshaft damper, perform the following adjustments:
    1. Tighten the body bracket nut.
    2. Turn the front nut until the clearance between the front washer and rubber cushion is zero.
    3. Insert the bushing and tighten the front nut.
