1. Install rear chain case.
a. Apply a continuous bead of specified liquid gasket (Refer to
EM-3003, ªLiquid Gasket Application Procedureº.) on loca-
tions shown in the figure.
A: Apply bead so that it does not protrude into the oil pas-
sage.
B, C: Minimize overlapping area of bead, by start and end
areas of bead as shown in the figure. Apply so that the por-
tion marked * comes at an external location but cannot be
viewed externally after engine assembly.
D: Leave the start and end areas of the bead slightly protrud-
ing from the case surface.
b. Install four O-rings to the grooves of the cylinder block and
fuel injection pump bracket.
c. Install rear chain case.
+When installing, align the dowel pin with the pin hole.
d. Tighten bolts in the numerical order shown in the figure.
+Install the following four types of bolts, referring to the figure.
16 mm (0.63 in): Bolt No. 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21,
22
20 mm (0.79 in): Bolt No. 3, 4, 6, 9, 10, 11, 13, 14
25 mm (0.98 in): Bolt No. 12, 15
35 mm (1.38 in): Bolt No. 5, 7, 8
+The shank length under the bolt neck above is the length of
threaded part (pilot portion not included).
e. After tightening all the bolts, re-tighten in the same order.
