3. Remove the LH engine support insulator. For additional information, refer to Engine Support Insulators Removal and Replacement.

4. NOTICE: Do not use the oil pan to support the engine or damage to the oil pan may occur.

Using a wood block to support the engine, slowly lower the engine and remove the jack.





5. Disconnect the quick connect couplings and remove the PCV tube. For additional information, refer to Fuel System - General Information Service and Repair.

6. NOTICE: A new Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve must be installed if removed. When removed, the plastic retaining ears of the PCV valve are sheared.

Rotate the PCV valve counterclockwise and remove the PCV valve from the valve cover.

- Discard the PCV valve.

7. Remove the oil fill tube support bracket bolt.





8. Remove the clamp and the oil filler tube.

9. Disconnect the 2 generator wiring harness retainers and position the wiring harness aside.





10. Disconnect the electrical connector, remove the nut and ground strap.





11. Remove the fuel charging wiring harness from the valve cover studs and position the wiring harness and support bracket aside.

12. NOTICE: 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 clean sealing surfaces.

Remove the RH valve cover.

- Fully loosen the fasteners and remove the valve cover.

- Clean the valve cover mating surface of the cylinder head with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.

- Inspect the valve cover gasket. If the gasket is damaged, remove and discard the gasket. Clean the valve cover gasket groove with soap and water or a suitable solvent.

Installation

1. Apply instant gel adhesive completely around the gasket groove in the valve cover. Install the new valve cover gasket.





2. NOTE: If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. 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 the silicone gasket and sealant in 2 places where the engine front cover meets the cylinder head.





3. Position the valve cover and tighten the 11 fasteners in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).









4. NOTICE: A new Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve must be installed if removed. When removed, the plastic retaining ears of the PCV valve are sheared.

Position a new PCV valve in the valve cover and rotate it clockwise to lock it in place.

5. Position the PCV tube and connect the quick connect couplings. For additional information, refer to Fuel System - General Information Service and Repair.

6. Position the fuel charging wiring harness and connect the retainers to the valve cover studs.
