The aluminum timing cover seals the camshaft drive to the outside. The lower area accepts the crankshaft oil seal which is installed from the outside. The special tools intended for the purpose must be used to remove and install the O-ring seal (see current service information literature).
The seal to the engine is made using a sealing compound (arrows).
The oil dipstick guide is secured to the inside of the timing cover with three bolts.
In addition, the timing cover contains the jacking point for the coolant pump. To be able to remove it, the coolant pump must first be detached.
NOTE:
The securing bolts of the timing cover must be tightened in a certain sequence and to a certain torque. Please refer to the instructions in the procedure for exact details of installation.
