    NOTE:

    It is critical during installation to ensure the bearing rear cap and cylinder head alignment is correct and the mating surfaces are flush.

    • Ensure that all sealing material has been removed from the components, and the sealing surfaces are clean and free of contamination prior to applying the sealer.
    • Install and align the rear cap within 20 minutes of applying the sealer.
    NOTE:

    Apply the sealer to all locations centrally locating the bead on the rail.

    • Run bead to 5.0 mm, dimension (a), as shown.
    • Where the cap ends on the perimeter rail, extend bead approximately 4.0 mm beyond edge of cap.
    • Run bead, dimension (c), 32 mm from the edge of the cylinder head as shown.
    • Run beads, dimension (b), 20 mm from edge of cylinder head as shown.
  18. Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant.

    Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant 

  19. Apply a 2.5 mm bead of sealer to the cylinder head at the intake camshaft bearing rear cap mating surface. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers .
  20. Install the number 6 intake camshaft rear cap.
    1. Tighten the cap bolts evenly to 5 N.m (44 lb in).
    2. Tighten the cap bolts evenly to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
    3. Back the cap bolts out 120 degrees.
    4. Tighten the cap bolts evenly a final pass to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
