Oil Pan

Installation

Install the oil pan in the reverse order of removal:

• Always use new O-rings.

• Oil pan and cylinder block mating surface must be

clean.

1. Apply liquid gasket to the cylinder block, then install

the oil
pan.

NOTE:

• Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718

0003.

• Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry

before applying liquid gasket.

• Apply liquid gasket evenly, being careful to cover

all the mating surface.

• Do not apply liquid gasket to O-ring grooves.

• To prevent oil leakage, apply liquid gasket to the

inner threads of the bolt holes.

• Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more have

elapsed since applying liquid gasket.

Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old

residue.

•
After assembly,
wait
at
least
30
minutes before
fill-

ing the engine with oil.
