2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket (A) with a tube presser
as shown.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV S ealant or equivalent. Refer
to GI-22, "
Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"
CAUTION:
• Installation should be done within 5 minutes after apply-
ing liquid gasket.
• Do not fill the engine with oil for at least 30 minutes after
the components are installed to allow the sealant to cure.
3. Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown.
4. Install oil pan drain plug. CAUTION:
• Do not reuse drain plug washer.
• Refer to exploded view installation di rection of drain plug washer. Refer to EM-34
.
5. Refill the engine with engine oil. Refer to LU-8, "
Refilling".
INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION
• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels, including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required
quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to MA-11, "
Fluids and Lubricants".
• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.
• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak- age at connection points.
• Start engine. With engine speed increased, che ck again for fuel leakage at connection points.
• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration. NOTE:
If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide
may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop
after hydraulic pressure rises.
• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including engine oil and engine coolant.
• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.
• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-
ified level, if necessary.
