REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS

[[A]] OIL FILTER REMOVAL





Use special tool MB991396 to remove the oil filter.

[[B]] OIL PAN REMOVAL
1. Remove oil pan tightening bolts.

CAUTION
Lightly tap the oil pan FIPG cutter to drive in, taking care not to damage the ladder frame and oil pan sealed area.





2. Lightly tap special tool oil pan FIPG cutter (MD998727) to drive in the illustrated groove of the oil pan and ladder frame.





3. Lightly tap and slide special tool MD998727 to remove the oil pan.

[[C]] TIMING CHAIN CASE REMOVAL





If the timing chain case is difficult to remove, insert a hammer handle as shown in the illustration and lightly pry it.

INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

]]A[[ TIMING CHAIN CASE INSTALLATION

CAUTION
Be sure to remove liquid gasket that has entered mounting holes and O-ring grooves.

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the timing chain case, cylinder block and cylinder head.

CAUTION
Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.

2. Using white gasoline and so on, degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is applied and the contact surface between the cylinder block and the cylinder head.

CAUTION
Install the timing chain case within three minutes after applying liquid gasket.





3. Apply liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G, LOCTITE 5900, 5970, 5971 or equivalent) of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness to the timing chain case. For illustrated A locations, however, apply liquid gasket of 4.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch) in diameter or liquid gasket of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) by putting one on top of another as shown in the illustration.
4. Install the timing chain case.

NOTE: Be careful when install mounting bolts as they are different in length.





5. Tighten timing chain case mounting bolts to the specified torque.

Specified torque
A: 24 ± 4 Nm (18 ± 2 ft-lb)
B: 10 ± 2 Nm (89 ± 17 in-lb)
C: 10 ± 2 Nm (89 ± 17 in-lb)
D: 13 ± 1 Nm (115 ± 8 in-lb)

]]B[[ FRONT OIL SEAL INSTALLATION
1. Apply engine oil to the internal circumference of the oil seal.





2. Use special tool MB991448 to install the front oil seal on the timing chain case.

]]C[[ OIL PAN INSTALLATION
1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder block and oil pan.
2. Using white gasoline and so on, degrease the cylinder block and oil pan.





CAUTION
Install the oil pan within three minutes after liquid gasket is applied.

3. Apply liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G, LOCTITE 5900, 5970, 5971 or equivalent) of 02.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) of thickness in diameter to the illustrated area of the oil pan.
4. Tighten the oil pan to the specified torque.

Specified torque
M6: 10 ± 1 Nm (89 ± 17 in-lb)
M8: 29 ± 2 Nm (21 ± 1 ft-lb)

]]D[[ CYLINDER HEAD COVER INSTALLATION
1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder head cover, timing chain case and cylinder head.
2. Using white gasoline and so on, degrease the cylinder head cover, timing chain case and cylinder head.





CAUTION
Install the cylinder head cover immediately after liquid gasket is applied.

3. Appropriately use a minimum amount of sealant. Be careful not to allow sealant to squeeze out from the application area.
Apply liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G or equivalent) of 4 mm of thickness in diameter.





4. Tighten the cylinder head cover to the tightening torque of 3.0 ± 1.0 Nm (27 ± 8 in-lb) in the order shown in the illustration.
5. Then, tighten it to the specified torque in the same order.

Specified torque: 5.5 ± 0.5 Nm (49 ± 4 in-lb)

]]E[[ OIL FILTER INSTALLATION
1. Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the ladder frame.





2. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter.





CAUTION
Use special tool MB991396 to install the oil filter. Tightening it by hand causes oil leakage due to lack of torque.

3. Screw in the oil filter. When the O-ring contacts the mounting surface, use a filter wrench to tighten it

Specified torque: 3/4 turn (14 ± 2 Nm [124 ± 17 in-lb]).
