CAUTION:
Do not reuse O-rings.
- Install rear timing chain case as follows:
- Install new O-rings (1) onto cylinder block.
→ : Engine front CAUTION:Do not reuse O-rings.
- Apply liquid gasket with the tube presser (commercial service tool) to rear timing chain case back side as shown in the figure.
Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEALANTS .
CAUTION:- For "A" in the figure, completely wipe off liquid gasket extended on a portion touching at engine coolant.
- Apply liquid gasket on installation position of water pump and cylinder head completely.
C. Protrusion D. Clearance 1 mm (0.04 in) E. Do not protrude in this area F. Run along bolt hole inner side G. Protrusions at beginning and end of gasket h. π3.4 - 4.4 mm (0.134 - 173 in) i. π2.6 - 2.8 mm (0.102 - 0.110 in) Refer to COMPONENTS for symbols in the figure. - Align rear timing chain case with dowel pins (bank 1 and bank 2) on cylinder block and install rear timing chain case.
- Check that O-rings stay in place during installation to cylinder block.
- Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
