Oil Pan Installation
- Remove any old liquid gasket from the oil pan mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes.
- Clean and dry the oil pan mating surfaces.
- Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004,08718-0001, 08718-0002,08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan.NOTE: Do not install components if too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket (for P/N 08718-0002, no more than 4 minutes, for all others, no more than 5 minutes). Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
- Install the oil pan.
- Tighten the bolts in two or three steps. In the final step, tighten all bolts, in sequence, to 12 N.m (1.2 kgf.m, 8.7 lbf.ft).
- Install the stiffener (M/T).
- If the engine is still in the vehicle, install the subframe.
- 1 Support the subframe with the special tool and a jack, and lift it up to body, then loosely install the new subframe mounting bolts (see step 4 on ENGINE INSTALLATION )
- 2 Align the reference marks with the center of the subframe mounting bolts, then tighten the bolts to the specified torque (see step 6 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
- 3 Install the ATF filter mounting bolt (see step 25 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
- 4 Tighten the rear mount mounting bolts (see step 7 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
- 5 Tighten the new front mount mounting bolt (see step 13 on ENGINE INSTALLATION ).
- 6 Connect the suspension lower arm ball joints (see step 10 on KNUCKLE AND HUB REPLACEMENT ).
- After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
