Installation

1. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

NOTE: Clean the sealing surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the engine block, rear seal retainer plate and oil pan.

2. CAUTION: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the
packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply a 4 mm (0.15 inch) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the rear crankshaft seal retainer mating surface on the engine block.





3. Install the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate and the 6 bolts.
- Tighten in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).





4. NOTE: Lubricate the inner lip of the crankshaft rear seal with clean engine oil.

Using the special tools, install the crankshaft rear seal.





5. Using the special tools, install the crankshaft rear oil slinger.





6. CAUTION: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply silicone gasket and sealant at the engine front cover-to-cylinder block sealing joints and the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate-to-cylinder block sealing joints.





7. Using a new gasket, install the oil pan, 14 bolts and 2 stud bolts.
- Tighten in the sequence shown to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).





8. Install the wire harness retainer bracket on the oil pan stud bolt and install the nut.
- Tighten to 10 Nm (89 inch lbs.).
