>> D << Timing Chain Case Assembly Installation

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

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.
