Camshaft Cover Installation






1. Lightly coat the new seals, including the O-rings, with engine oil prior to the installation to assist in holding the O-ring seals to the valve cover.
2. Install the valve cover seals.
3. Apply a thin coat of silicone sealer LOCTITE 5900 or equivalent at the front and at the back of the seals.






4. Install the valve cover to the cylinder head.
5. Install the NEW camshaft cover bolt grommets prior to installing the camshaft cover bolts.

Notice: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Fasteners requiring replacement or fasteners requiring the use of thread locking compound or sealant are identified in the service procedure. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners or fastener joint surfaces unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems.

6. Install the valve cover bolts.

Tighten the camshaft cover bolts to 8 Nm (71 lb in).
