Further installation is in the reverse sequence to removal. When doing this note the following:

Tightening specifications, refer to OIL PAN AND PUMP OVERVIEW .

-- Check the strainer in the oil intake pipe and the oil passages in the upper oil pan for contamination before installing the oil pump.

-- Make sure both alignment bushings for centering the oil pump are installed.

-- Replace the oil baffle.

The oil baffle gets a new check valve and a new seal, see "Non-Return Valve" in item: 26 and "Gasket" in item: 23.

NOTE:

There are plastic ribs on the oil baffle that deform permanently when tightening. The plastic ribs ensure the oil baffle is not loosen and does not rattle. Because of this, always replace the oil baffle.
