and cylinder block.
Using a razor blade and gasket scraper, remove all
the old packing (FIPG) material from the gasket sur-
faces and sealing groove.
Thoroughly clean all components to remove all the
loose material.
Using a non −residue solvent, clean both sealing
surfaces.
(b) Apply seal packing to the retainer as shown in the illustra-
tion.
Seal packing: Part No. 08826−00080 or equivalent
Install a nozzle that has been cut to a 2 − 3 mm (0.08
− 0.12 in.) opening.
HINT:
Avoid applying an excessive amount to the surface.
Parts must be assembled within 5 minutes of ap-
plication. Otherwise the material must be removed
and reapplied.
Immediately remove nozzle from the tube and rein-
stall cap.
(c) Install the retainer with the 4 bolts. Torque: 21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
13. INSTALL OIL COOLER COVER AND OIL COOLER
Install a new gasket, the oil cooler cover and oil cooler with the
10 bolts and 2 nuts. Torque: 21 N·m (210 kgf·cm, 15 ft·lbf)
