Installation Procedure
Important: Do not cover and/or restrict the gasket openings and oil passages with sealant. Only apply sealant to the crosshatched area of the gasket as shown in the illustration.
1. Coat only the pump side of the new oil pump gasket with a thin, even coating of GM P/N 1052942 or equivalent.
2. Install the oil pump gasket.
3. Install the oil pump and align with the guide pins (2).
4. Coat the new oil pump bolts with GM P/N 12345493 or equivalent.
Notice: Refer to Fastener Notice in Service Precautions.
5. Install the oil pump bolts. Tighten in the sequence shown.
Tighten the oil pump bolts to 12 Nm (9 ft. lbs.).
6. Install the collar.
7. Coat the lip of the front main oil seal with a small amount of GM P/N 12377985 chassis grease, or equivalent, to aid in installation.
8. Install the front main oil seal.
9. Use the J 35268-A to tap the front main oil seal into place.
Ensure the front main oil seal if fully and evenly seated.
10. Install the crankshaft drive gear.
11. Install a new crankshaft drive gear bolt.
Tighten the crankshaft drive gear bolt, while counterholding with J 42065, to 250 Nm (184 ft. lbs.) on the first pass, 45 degrees on the second pass and 15 degrees on the third pass.
12. Install the upper oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement (Lower) or Oil Pan Replacement (Upper).
13. Install the lower oil pan. Refer to Oil Pan Replacement (Lower) or Oil Pan Replacement (upper).
