both are clean. Any foreign material on either of

these
surfaces
will
cause flywheel run out and en­
gine
vibration. Position flywheel to crankshaft and
secure with six mounting bolts. Torque mounting
bolts
50 to 65 lb-ft. [6,91 a 8,98 kg-m.].

Note:
Flywheel mounting
bolts
are unevenly
spaced so that flywheel can be installed in only
one position.
This
assures correct balance of fly­
wheel and crankshaft.

b.
Mount a
dial
indicator on flywheel housing
flange of cylinder block and index its plunger to
the flywheel surface. Measure flywheel run out.

Maximum
allowable run out is .015"
[0,381
mm.].

Install
Cylinder
Head Assembly

Refer
to Fig. Dl-9.

a.
Wipe cylinder head face of
engine
cylinder
block, and be certain no foreign material has fallen
into the cylinder bores, bolt holes, or in the valve

lifter
area.
It is
good
practice to clean out bolt

holes
with compressed air.

b.
Install
a new cylinder head gasket on the
cylin­

der
block. Dowels in the block
will
hold the gasket

in
position. Always handle gaskets carefully to

avoid
kinking or damage to the surface treatment
of the gasket. Apply Perfect Seal Aerosol

Install
Clutch
and Flywheel Housing

a.
Note
marks made on clutch assembly and fly­
wheel during
engine
disassembly. Position clutch
assembly to flywheel, according to
marks,
and
fasten
loosely
with six attaching bolts. Torque

bolts
in rotation, one
turn
at a time, to 30 to 40 lb-ft. [4,1 a 5,5 kg-m.].

b.
Engage fork of clutch linkage to clutch and
position flywheel housing to
engine
cylinder block.
Secure
housing to block with six mounting bolts.

Torque
bolts
30 to 40 lb-ft. [4,1 a 5,5 kg-m.].

Install
Timing
Chain
Cover

Note:
There
are five
bolts
which attach the timing

chain
cover directly to the cylinder block, and seven
bolts
which attach both the timing chain
cover and water pump to the cylinder block.

a.
If oil pump has not been removed from timing

chain
cover, remove fine slotted attaching screws,

oil
pump cover, gasket from timing chain cover. Completely pack the space around the oil pump gears with petroleum jelly.
There
must be no air
space left inside the pump. Secure oil pump cover

and
a new gasket to timing chain cover with five slotted attaching screws. Torque screws, alternately
and
evenly, 8 to 12 lb-ft [1,10 a 1,66 kg-m.].

Note:
Unless oil pump gears are packed with petro­
leum jelly, pump may not prime itself when
engine

is started.

b.
The gasket surfaces of the cylinder block and
timing chain cover must be smooth and clean. In­
stall
a new timing chain cover gasket and position

it
correctly on the cylinder block.

Note:
Two different timing chain cover gaskets
have been installed in production on V-6 engines.

At
any time the timing chain cover gasket is
replaced,
make sure the correct gasket is installed.

c.
Position timing chain cover to cylinder block.

Use
timing cover aligner and oil seal remover tool J-22248. Be certain that dowel pins
engage
dowel

pin
holes
before installing bolts.

d.
Lubricate
bolt threads before installation.
Install

the mounting
bolts
and torque 25 to 33 lb-ft. [3,5
a
4,6 kg-m.].

Note:
Some timing chain covers have two additional
bolts, one in each upper corner. If the timing chain
cover being installed on a crankcase with
these
two
holes
does
not have matching holes, the
holes

in
the crankcase must be plugged with two hex
socket screw plugs. The plug should be driven past
the face of the case to prevent interference with the timing chain cover. These
bolts
are not shown

in
Fig. Dl-41.

teeth
of the gears.
Install
a new oil pump cover gasket.

Note:
Unless the pump is packed with petroleum

jelly,
it may not prime itself when the
engine
is
