Installation Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: Ensure that there is not excessive RTV material around the oil pick-up gallery flange area. Engine damage may occur if excessive material is drawn into the oil pump assembly.
    IMPORTANT: Ensure that the mating surfaces are clean and free of debris. Allow adequate time to allow for the oil pump to drain. This will prevent oil from dripping on the mating flange during installation.
