Apply sealant as indicated by the broken line in the illustration; the grooves must be traced and the bolt holes must be surrounded with a bead of sealant.
Install the oil pump case assembly to the front side of the cylinder block.
NOTE: Be sure to install the oil pan quickly while the sealant is wet (within 15 minutes).
