SEM164F PRECAUTIONS
Parts Requiring AngularTightening

• Use anangle wrench forthe final tightening ofthe follow-
ing engine parts:
(1) Cylinder headbolts
(2) Main bearing capbolts (SRengine only)
(3) Connecting rodcap nuts (SRand CDengine)
• Donot use atorque valueforfinal tightening. •
• The torque values forthese partsareforapreliminary step.
• Ensure threadandseat surfaces areclean andcoated with
engine oil.

Liquid Gasket Application Procedure

a. Use ascraper toremove alltraces ofold liquid gasket from
mating surfaces andgrooves. Also,completely cleananyoil
from these areas.
b. Apply acontinuous beadofliquid gasket tomating surfaces.
(Use Genuine LiquidGasket orequivalent.)
• For oilpan, besure liquid gasket diameter is4.0 to5.0
mm (0.157 to0.197 in)for SR engine. Besure liquid
gasket diameter is3.5 to4.5 mm (0.138 to0.177 in)for
GA and CDengine.
• For areas except oilpan, besure liquid gasket diame-
ter is2.0 to3.0 mm (0.079 to0.118 in).
c. Apply liquidgasket toinner surface aroundholeperimeter
area.
d. Assembly shouldbedone within 5minutes aftercoating.
e. Wait atleast 30minutes beforerefilling engineoiland
engine coolant.

CAUTION:
• After removing timingchain,donot turn crankshaft and
camshaft separately, orvalves willstrike piston heads.
• When installing camshafts, chaintensioner, oilseals, or
other sliding parts,lubricate contacting surfaceswithnew
engine oil.
• Apply newengine oiltobolt threads andseat surfaces when
installing cylinderhead,camshaft sprocket,crankshaft
pulley, andcamshaft brackets.
