Front Engine Cover: Installation

  1. Clean gasket surfaces. Apply gasket sealer to new gasket. Apply RTV sealer to joint formed where oil pan meets cylinder block (trim excess gasket material that protrudes at junction). Place gasket on cover. Install cover-to-oil pan seal. Place light coat of engine oil on bottom of seal.
  2. Place cover over end of crankshaft and loosely install upper cover-to-block bolts. Tighten bolts alternately to specification while pressing down on cover so dowels are aligned with holes in cover. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . DO NOT force cover over dowels, or hole distortion will result.
  3. Install remaining bolts and tighten. Install torsional damper, pulley, fan, belts and water pump. To complete installation, reverse removal procedure. Refill cooling system. Start engine and check for leaks.
