GUIDE
IN INSTALLAING USED & REBUILT
JAPANESE ENGINES
ALWAYS
- Use the long block engine only. Never use
anything that
came with the engine except the head and block. For smog related
reasons, this engine from Japan has different emissions devices and
you
are required to use original emission devices from original engine
in order
to comply with the smog laws of your state. And though these Japanese
engines do come with the accessaries from Japan and may be similar
to
what you have originally on your engine, it is best you do the change
over to avoid any problems.
ALWAYS
- Have a rod out service done on your radiator
by a radiator shop.
Or replace with new radiator. Not just a flush.
ALWAYS
- Replace the following parts with
new ones:
.SPARK
PLUGS
.THERMOSTAT
.WATERPUMP
.TIMING BELT
.BAL. SHAFT BELT
.T/B TENSIONERS/IDLERS
.FRONT & REAR MAIN SEALS
.CAMSHAFT SEALS
.TEMP. SENDING UNIT
.SPARK PLUG WIRES
.KNOCK SENSOR |
.OIL
.OIL/AIR FILTER
.INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS
.EXHAUST MANIFOLD .GASKETS
.T/B HYDRAULIC TENSIONER
.OIL PAN GASKET
.PCV VALVE
.OIL SENDING UNIT
.DISTRIBUTOR CAP & ROTOR
.CAM/CRANK ANGLE SENSORS |
ALWAYS
- Prime
the engine with motor oil first before starting. This
will reduce initial wear.
***We
also recommend the following services:
1. Drive under legal limit (CA 65 MPH) for the first 1,000 miles.
2. Change oil and oil filter after 500 miles, and
3. Flush radiator after 100 miles.
4. For rebuilt engines, adjust valves after 500 miles, if required.
