WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Pontiac Firebird and 2002 Chevrolet Camaro. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: DO NOT reuse the crankshaft oil seal. Install a NEW crankshaft oil seal during assembly. DO NOT reuse the rear cover-to-engine block gasket. Install a NEW gasket during assembly.
  1. Remove the crankshaft oil seal from the rear cover. See Figure. Clean the cover in solvent. Remove the sealant from the cover oil pan surface. Dry the cover with compressed air.
  2. Inspect the gasket sealing surfaces for excessive scratches or gouging. Inspect the cover-to-oil pan threaded bolt holes for damaged threads or debris. Inspect the crankshaft oil seal mounting bore for damage.
