33. Completely fill and slightly overfill the engine block seal groove with a continuous bead of RTV sealant P/N 12378521 (in Canada use P/N 88901148) or P/N 88861417 (in Canada use 88861418).
34. Ensure that the RTV sealant bead is higher than the rail surface by 3 mm (0.118 in).
35. Using a suitable tool spread the sealant in the area near the oil drain back passages away from the oil drain back passages and towards the outboard edge of the rail surface.
36. To prevent shifting of the lower crankcase install one of the EN 46109 tools into a bolt hole in each rail.
37. Install the cleaned lower crankcase onto the engine.
38. Using a rubber mallet gently tap the lower crankcase into position.
39. Remove both EN 46109 tools.
40. Loosely install the crankcase perimeter bolts on the right side.
41. Loosely install the crankcase perimeter bolts on the left side.
42. Using a small long blade screwdriver clean out any sealant in the oil drain back passages.
43. Using a NEW oil distribution plate place a 3 mm (0.118 in) wide bead (1) of RTV sealant P/N 12378521 (in Canada use P/N 88901148) or P/N 88861417 (in Canada use 88861418) around the perimeter of the outer seal of the oil distribution plate place.
44. Ensure the RTV sealant P/N 12378521 (in Canada use P/N 88901148) or P/N 88861417 (in Canada use 88861418) bead is inboard of all the oil pan bolt holes.
45. To prevent shifting of the oil distribution plate install one of the EN 46109 tools into a bolt hole in each side of the lower crankcase.
46. Install the NEW oil distribution plate.
47. Remove both of the EN 46109 tools.
48. Install the oil distribution plate bolts.
Tighten
Tighten the oil distribution plate bolts to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
49. Using a small long blade screwdriver clean out any sealant in the oil drain back passages.
50. Install the crankshaft oil scraper plate.
51. Install the main bearing bolts. Ensure the stud-head bolts used for the oil suction tube support bracket are placed in the proper position.
52. Tighten the main bearing bolts in the proper sequence.
1. First pass:
Tighten
Tighten the main bearing bolts (1 through 20) to 20 N.m (15 lb-ft) in proper sequence.
2. Final pass:
Tighten
Tighten the main bearing bolts (1 through 20) an additional 65 degrees in proper sequence using the J 45059.
53. Tighten the crankcase perimeter bolts in the sequence shown.
Tighten
Tighten the crankcase perimeter bolts to 30 N.m (22 lb ft).
54. Using a small long bladed screwdriver verify that the oil drain back passages are clear of sealant.
55. Lubricate the silicone seal in the oil distribution plate. With a twisting motion install the end of the oil suction tube (2).
56. Install the oil suction tube retaining bolt (1) and nut (3).
Tighten
^ Tighten the oil suction tube support bracket nut to 24 N.m (18 lb-ft).
^ Tighten the oil suction tube bolt to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
57. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the sealing surfaces and seal groove of the oil pan.
58. Using a suitable cleaning solvent clean the sealing surfaces of the oil distribution plate.
59. Completely fill and slightly overfill the oil pan seal groove with a continuous bead of RTV sealant P/N 12378521 (in Canada use P/N 88901148) or P/N 88861417 (in Canada use 88861418).
60. Ensure the RTV sealant P/N 12378521 (in Canada use P/N 88901148) or P/N 88861417 (in Canada use 88861418) bead is higher than the oil pan sealing surface by 3 mm (0.118 in).
61. To prevent shifting of the oil pan install one of the EN 46109 tools into a bolt hole in each side of the lower crankcase.
62. Position the oil pan onto the lower crankcase.
63. Remove both EN 46109 tools.
64. Install the oil pan bolts.
65. Tighten the oil pan bolts in the sequence shown.
Tighten
Tighten the oil pan bolts in sequence to 10 N.m (89 lb in).
66. Clean off any sealant that has protruded to the exterior of the engine.
Important:
^ Ensure components being sealed with RTV sealant are assembled within 20 minutes. Components assembled after the RTV sealant has skinned-over, approximately 20 minutes or longer, will not bond.
^ EN-48072 must be used to ensure even application of the sealant in the bore and to prevent blockage of the drain back hole.
^ Install the crankshaft rear oil seal. Refer to the Crankshaft Rear Oil Seal Installation procedure in SI.
Important:
For detailed component and engine installation, refer to Engine Replacement Procedure in the Engine Mechanical subsection of the appropriate Service Manual or SI.
