a. Insert Tool (A) between the lower oil pan and the upper oil pan.
CAUTION:
• Be careful not to damage the mating surface.
• Do not insert a screwdriver or similar tool, this will dam-
age the mating surfaces.
b. In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap (1) the cutter where the liquid gasket is applied. Use
a plastic hammer to slide (2) the cutter by tapping on the side.
4. If re-installing the original lower oil pan, remove the old liquid gasket from the mating surfaces using a scraper.
• Also remove the old liquid gasket from mating surface of the upper oil pan.
• Remove the old liquid gasket from the bolt holes and threads.
CAUTION:
Do not scratch or damage the mating surf aces when cleaning off the old liquid gasket.
INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL
Clean oil strainer if any object is attached.
INSTALLATION
1. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to the lower oil pan.
• Use Genuine Silicone RTV Sealant, or equivalent. Refer to GI-
21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants".
• Be sure the liquid gasket is 4.5 - 5.5 mm (0.177 - 0.217 in) wide.
• Installation must be done within 5 minutes after applying liquid gasket.
2. Install the lower oil pan. Tighten the lower oil pan bolts in order as shown.
• Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling the engine with oil.
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Start the engine and check for leaks. Refer to LU-25, "Inspection".
• Inspect the engine oil level. Refer to LU-25, "Inspection"
.

REMOVAL
WARNING:
• Do not remove the oil pan until the exhaust system and cooling syst em have completely cooled off.
• When removing the front and rear engine through bolt s and nuts, lift the engine up slightly for safety.
For engine slingers, refer to EM-220, "Removal and Installation"
.
CAUTION:
When removing the upper oil pan from the engine , first remove the crankshaft position sensor (POS).
Be careful not to damage senso r edges or signal plate teeth.

REMOVAL
CAUTION:
• After removing timing chain, do not turn the crankshaft and camshaft separately, or the valves will
strike the pistons.
• When installing camshafts, chain tensioners, oil seal s, or other sliding parts, lubricate contacting
surfaces with new engine oil.
• Apply new engine oil to bolt threads and seat su rfaces when installing camshaft sprockets, camshaft
brackets, and crankshaft pulley.
• Before disconnecting fuel hose, release fuel pressure. Refer to FL-5, "Inspection"
