Chain Cover: Reassembly

  1. Use sealant on threads and install quick-disconnect fittings, if removed. Install manual valve detent spring and position tab in hole. Tighten bolt to 80-106 INCH lbs. (9-12 N.m). Start bimetallic strip retaining pins in cover. Gently tap center pin to bottom of hole. Center pin must not extend from case more than .26" (6.5 mm).
  2. Position end of bimetallic strip with hole over front retaining pin. Install retaining collars. Place Height Gauge (T86P-70422-A) against pin between bimetallic strip and case. Gently tap collar onto pin until it seats against bimetallic strip. See Fig 1 .
  3. Engage slotted end of bimetallic strip under rear retaining pin. Use gauge and gently tap collar onto pin. Remove slotted end of bimetallic strip from pin. Position retaining plate onto rear and middle retaining pins. Place slotted end bimetallic strip under retaining collar.
  4. Install NEW "O" rings and seals on accumulator pistons; lubricate with petroleum jelly. The N-D accumulator piston is fitted with an "O" ring. The 3-4 accumulator and 1-2 accumulator are fitted with square-cut seals. Install accumulator pistons; ensure pistons are inserted straight into bores. Install 3 accumulator piston shafts.
  5. Install NEW "O" ring on electrical bulkhead connector, if removed. Connector should "click" when it is installed.
