Installation Procedure
Important:
*
The alignment of the structural oil pan is critical. The rear bolt hole locations of the oil pan provide mounting points for the
transmission housing. To ensure the rigidity of the powertrain and correct transmission alignment, it is important that the rear of the
block and the rear of the oil pan are flush, or even. The rear of the oil pan must NEVER protrude beyond the engine block and
transmission housing plane.
*
Do not use the oil pan gasket again.
*
It is not necessary to rivet the NEW gasket to the oil pan.
1. Apply a 5 mm (0.2 in) bead of sealant 20 mm (0.8 in) long to the engine block. Refer to Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants (6.2L) (See:
Specifications/Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants)Sealers, Adhesives, and Lubricants (7.0L) (See: Specifications/Sealers, Adhesives, and
Lubricants) for the correct part number. Apply the sealant directly onto the tabs of the front cover gasket that protrude into the oil pan surface.
