>> D << Timing Chain Case Assembly Installation
CAUTION:
- Be sure to remove the sealant inside the mounting holes and the O-ring grooves.
- After degreasing with white gasoline or the like, check that there is no oil on the surface where the sealant is applied.
- After degreasing with white gasoline or the like, never touch the degreased area with fingers.
- Completely remove the liquid gasket adhered to the timing chain case assembly, cylinder block and cylinder head, and then degrease using the volatile degreasing agent.
- Remove all the sealant adhering to the gasket between the cylinder head and cylinder block (three-surface aligned part). Then, degrease the surfaces with the volatile degreasing agent.
- As for the three-surface aligned part above, the engine oil oozes from the cylinder head gasket. Thus, quickly apply the sealant to it after degreasing.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent

- To the timing chain case assembly installation surface, apply the sealant without a gap. However, overlap the sealant at the "D" shown in the figure.
Specified sealant: ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent
NOTE: Install the timing chain case assembly immediately after applying sealant.CAUTION:- If the sealant contacts any other part during installation of the timing chain case assembly, apply sealant again before installing the timing chain case assembly.
- After the installation, until a sufficient period of time (one hour or more) elapses, do not apply the oil or water to the sealant application area or start the engine.
- Install the timing chain case assembly to the cylinder block and cylinder head so that the sealant does not contact other parts.
- Insert the bolts to the timing chain case assembly as shown, and tighten them to the specified torque.
