Oil Pan, Removing And Installing: Installing: Notes
Risk of contaminating the lubricating system and the bearing.
- Cover open engine components.
Wear safety gloves and protective eyewear when working with sealant and grease remover.
-- Remove the sealant residue on the cylinder block and the oil pan with a commercially available chemical sealant remover.
-- The sealing surfaces must be free of oil and grease.
-- Cut the tube nozzle at the front marking (tube nozzle diameter: approximately 2 to 3 mm).
There is a risk that the lubrication system could be blocked by excess sealant.
- Do not apply sealant bead thicker than indicated.
If the Belt Pulley Side Sealing Flange Is Not Replaced.
After removing the old silicone seal for the cylinder block surface, the lower sealing flange surface on the pulley side has an approximately 1 mm offset that must be evened out onto the corresponding area of the oil pan sealing surface using the necessary sealant application.
-- Apply bead of sealant as shown to the clean sealing surface on the oil pan.
- Near the sealing flange sealing surface on the belt pulley side between -arrows- : 3 to 4 mm.
- Near the cylinder block sealing surfaces and the sealing flange on the transmission side: 2 to 3 mm.
- The bead of sealant must be able to be replaced in both height and width of the previous silicone seal near the sealing flange area on the belt pulley side.
The oil pan must be installed within five minutes of applying the sealant.
If the Belt Pulley Side Sealing Flange Is Replaced.
-- Apply bead of sealant as shown to the clean sealing surface on the oil pan.
- Sealant bead thickness: 2 to 3 mm.
Apply the sealant bead very carefully in the area of the sealing flange.
The oil pan must be installed within five minutes of applying the sealant.
