Oil Pipe Installation Note (BP)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Mazda MX-5 Miata. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

CAUTION:

Perform the following procedures so that there is no load applied on each connection part while installing the oil pipe as it may cause oil leakage.

Hold the frame of the OCV filter and install the OCV so as to align with the projected part on flange end of the oil pipe.
Apply engine oil to the new washer.
Temporarily install the upper and side oil pipe and position the oil pipe.
