Installation (Part 2)







41. Install the crankshaft sensor ring on the crankshaft.





42. NOTE: Lubricate the roller followers with clean engine oil prior to installation.

Using the special tool, Install all of the camshaft roller followers.





43. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

NOTE: If the engine front cover is not secured within it in 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

NOTE: Make sure that the engine front cover gasket is in place on the engine front cover before installation.

Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant along the cylinder head-to-cylinder block surface at the locations shown.





44. Install a new engine front cover gasket on the engine front cover. Position the engine front cover onto the dowels. Install the 15 fasteners finger-tight.








45. Tighten the engine front cover fasteners in the sequence shown to 25 Nm (18 ft. lbs.).





46. Loosely install the 4 bolts, then tighten the bolts in 2 stages, in the sequence shown.
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 20 Nm (15 ft. lbs.).
^ Stage 2: Tighten an additional 60 degrees.





47. Lubricate the engine front cover and the crankshaft seal inner lip with clean engine oil.





48. Using the special tools, install the crankshaft front oil seal into the engine front cover.





49. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep and silicone gasket remover. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply silicone gasket and sealant to the Woodruff key slot in the crankshaft pulley.





50. Using the special tool, install the crankshaft pulley.
51. Using a new crankshaft pulley bolt, install the bolt and washer and tighten the bolt in 4 stages.
