Engine Front Cover: Installation

  1. Make sure gasket surface on cover and cylinder block are clean. Using a sharp knife, remove any excess gasket protruding from between oil pan and cylinder block. Apply a 1/8" bead of silicone rubber sealer to oil pan and cylinder block junction and oil pan front lip.
  2. Coat front cover gasket with sealer and position on cover. Position cover on cylinder block. Loosely install cover-to-block, upper attaching screws. Tighten screws alternately and evenly while pressing downward on cover so that dowels in block are aligned with holes in cover.
  3. Install remaining cover screws and torque to specifications. Install harmonic balancer using suitable tool (J23523). Reverse removal procedures to install remaining components.
