WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 Ford Edge. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
-
NOTE: Clean the oil pump and cylinder block mating surfaces with metal surface prep.
Install the oil pump assembly. Tighten the 4 bolts in the sequence shown in 2 stages in illustration:
- Install the oil pump sprocket and bolt.
- Install the chain on the oil pump sprocket.
- Install the oil pump screen and pickup tube and the 2 bolts.
-
NOTE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove traces to sealant.
Clean all the oil pan and cylinder block mating surfaces with metal surface prep.
-
NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within 10 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 10 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Apply a 3 mm (0.118 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the oil pan-to-engine block mating surface.
-
NOTE: Do not tighten the oil pan bolts at this time.
Position the oil pan onto the engine and install the 13 bolts finger-tight.
- Using a suitable straight edge, align the front surface of the oil pan flush with the front surface of the engine block.
- Tighten in the sequence shown in illustration to 20 Nm (177 lb-in).
- Install the oil pan-to-bellhousing bolt.
- Install the 3 bellhousing-to-oil pan bolts.
- Install the A/C compressor, the 2 bolts and the stud.
- Connect the 2 A/C compressor electrical connectors.
- Using a floor jack and a wooden block, support the engine.
- Install the engine front cover. For additional information, refer to ENGINE FRONT COVER .
