Front Cover: Installation

  1. Clean all gasket surfaces. Cut and position required sections of new gasket on oil pan using contact cement. Apply RTV silicone sealer to corners and gasket junctions.
  2. Install new front cover seal. Use Pilot/Front Cover Aligner (T61P-6019-B or 6059-F) to center front cover on crankshaft. Use care when installing cover to avoid seal damage or possible gasket mislocation.
  3. With front cover in place, it may be necessary to force cover downward to slightly compress pan gasket. Install retaining bolts and tighten. Apply polyethylene grease to oil-seal-rubbing-surface of vibration damper inner hub to prevent seal damage.
  4. Apply polyethylene grease to front of crankshaft for damper installation. Line up damper keyway with key on crankshaft and install damper. Install fuel pump with new gasket. Reverse removal procedure to complete installation.
