Oil Pan and transmission case, as well as the torque converter cover. Install flywheel holder (J 44214) and remove the Harmonic Balancer bolt. Use a proper jack to support the engine assembly and remove the nut holding a mount engine at the mount engine bracket. Adjust the assembly of the engine to provide clearance for Harmonic Balancer remover (J 41816) below the body rail, then install the remover pilot into the end of the crankshaft, then remove the Harmonic Balancer using Harmonic Balancer remover (J 41816). Replace the Harmonic Balancer if it is worn out or broken. Now it is ready to be fitted back onto the engine, so clean and inspect it before fitting and performing the rev check. The engine assembly lifts up, and then the nut securing the
Engine Mount to the Engine Mount bracket is installed and tightened at 80 nm (59 ft. Lbs.). Take off the engine support jack and flywheel holder (J 44214), then locate the torque converter cover. Replace the Oil Pan to transmission brace tightening it to 50 nm (37 ft.
