1. Remove the radiator.
2. Remove the power steering pump.
3. Remove the front anti-roll bar.
4. Remove the oil pan.
5. Remove the auxiliary drive belt.
6. Unscrew the bolts and nuts and remove the auxiliary drive belt tensioner components (see fig. Elements of the auxiliary drive belt tensioning mechanism with a shock absorber strut located under the tensioning mechanism, Elements of the auxiliary drive belt tensioning mechanism with a shock absorber strut located above the tensioning mechanism, Parts of the auxiliary drive belt tensioning mechanism without a shock absorber strut).
7. On models with the shock absorber strut mounted under the tensioner, remove the bolt securing the lower end of the shock absorber strut and the bolt securing the tensioner bracket, and finally remove the center tensioner bolt. Remove the tensioner components from the engine.
8. On models with the shock absorber strut mounted above the accessory drive belt tensioner, remove the power steering pump pulley, then the tensioner pulley. Unscrew the shock absorber strut from the tensioner bracket. Unscrew the other end of the shock absorber strut from the alternator bracket. Secure the bolt securing the tensioner assembly to the power steering pump bracket from turning, and remove the nut from the bolt. Remove the two bolts securing the tensioner bracket to the drive chain cover. Remove the center tensioner bolt, then remove the tensioner assembly from the engine.
9. On models without a shock absorber strut, unscrew the bolt and remove the tensioner mechanism.
10. Remove the crankshaft pulley from the hub.
11. Unscrew the bolts and remove the water pump.
12. Remove the air filter housing.
13. Remove the ignition distributor.
14. If equipped, remove the rear self-leveling suspension pump mounting bolts and, without disconnecting the hydraulic hoses from the pump, move the pump to the side.
15. Remove the cylinder head cover.
16. Remove the three bolts securing the top of the timing chain cover to the cylinder head (see Fig. Location of bolts securing the upper part of the drive chain cover to the cylinder head).
17. If equipped, remove the three bolts and bracket that secures the air conditioning compressor and power steering pump (see Fig. Location of mounting bolts for the air conditioning system and power steering pump mounting bracket).
18. On models with air conditioning, loosen the air conditioning compressor mounting bolts and, without disconnecting the hoses from it, move the compressor to the side.
19. Remove the generator together with the bracket.
20. Remove the generator together with the bracket.
21. Unscrew the two bolts securing the oil pump oil pickup pipe to the main bearing cap and the nut securing the pipe to the bracket and remove the bracket.
22. Remove the remaining bolts securing the timing chain cover to the engine block. Mark the bolt locations as the bolts are different lengths. Remove the timing chain cover from the guide pins along with the oil pickup tube (see Fig. Location of bolts securing the drive chain cover to the engine cylinder block).
23. Remove the spacer sleeve from the front of the crankshaft.
Installation
Removal the crankshaft seal ring from the timing chain cover
Installing a new crankshaft seal ring into the timing chain cover
Installing the crankshaft seal ring using a wooden block
Checking the condition of the oil pickup tube sealing ring and applying a thin layer of engine oil to it
Applying a thin layer of sealant to the surface of the cylinder block that mated with the timing chain cover
Installing a spacer sleeve on the front end of the crankshaft
1. Check the condition of the cylinder head gasket where it meets the timing chain cover.
2. Clean the mating surfaces of the engine block and timing chain cover from any remaining old gasket and sealant.
