fuel Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If you aren't mechanically minded - then I would give it a miss. While the 4G54 isn't a complex engine (ie it's just a basic Single overhead cam 8 valve carby motor), it has a timing chain, which will prove alot harder to disassemble than a belt driven motor. If you can sort out the removal and the re-installation of the timing chain and tensioner, then it is fairly straightforward. You will need to remove the manifolds. Remove the rocker cover, and there should be 10 bolts (might have an 8mm hex head) and thats about it. While the head and timing belt and front of motor is disassembled it might be a good idea to replace the front oil seals too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowlancer Posted May 31, 2005 Share Posted May 31, 2005 If it's not a job that has to be done in a set time, take your time, learn about it, and you should be ok. You can always take it to local rebuilder anyway if you fuck it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
