Acura 10002-PVF-A00 General Assembly, Cylinder Block (Dot)

Carefully read all procedures before removing an engine for overhaul or repair. Engines can be removed by lowering them to the floor using a transaxle, which demands a vehicle and an engine hoist. A perfect workplace with a store, preferably a flat clean surface will be appropriate. Always start by cleaning the engine compartment. It is important to have someone who knows safety assist you in case you do not know what you are doing. Ensure that all needed tools and equipments are ready and the car is expected to be unused over a period of time. Consult the machine shop for an estimate on any work that you cannot do yourself.

It is complicated to remove the engine in these models, and this is more so for people who are not professionals. The reason is that the manufacturer recommends a frame contact hoist to be used in removing the engine together with the transaxle. These processes include; lifting an automobile, disengaging electrical elements, extracting the air filter box, unfastening hoses, disconnecting the power steering system, draining fluids, dismantling the exhaust system and axles. Furthermore, it requires special attention when supporting powertrain as well as removing subframe and disconnecting transaxle from the engine. On reassembling the parts one should check the mounts' condition; ensure correct alignment of subframe marks and also ensure there are no leaks.
