>> D << Rear Oil Seal Case Installation

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

CAUTION: Be sure to remove liquid gasket that has entered mounting holes.

Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder block, ladder frame and rear oil seal case.
CAUTION: Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil on the place where degreasing is performed. If fingerprints are left, do not touch it with bare hands after the degreasing, since the oils from your fingers will harm the seal ability.
Degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is applied and the contact surface between the cylinder block and ladder frame.
Apply a small amount of engine oil to the oil seal lip.
CAUTION: Install the timing chain case within three minutes after applying liquid gasket.
Squeeze liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent) of ø2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.08 to 0.12 inch) in thickness and apply it to the illustrated position of the cylinder block and ladder frame.
