Lucerne V8-4.6L (2008)
Important:
*
TheEN-48072 must be used to ensure even application of the sealant in the bore and to prevent blockage of the drain back hole.
*
Ensure components that are being sealed with RTV sealant are assembled within 20 minutes. Components assembled after the RTV
sealant has skinned-over, approximately 20 minutes, will not bond properly.
*
Although originally equipped with a lip-style crankshaft rear oil seal, engines built from March 1, 1996 through 1999 should use the
cassette-style crankshaft rear oil seal.
1. Ensure the engine block where the crankshaft rear oil seal is installed is a deep bore (1).
*
A deep bore of approximately 15 mm (0.5906 in) was used on engines from March 1, 1996 and later.
*
A shallow bore of approximately 8 mm (0.3150 in) was used on engines from 1993 through February 29, 1996. This block would use a
lip-style crankshaft rear oil seal and the J 38817-A for installation.
2. Inspect the engine block bore (1) and the crankshaft flange (2) for the damage. Repair or replace any damaged components.
