Figure No. 2
On certain P Models, it will not be possible to install the new oil filler cap. To correct this condition it will be necessary to reposition the oil filler tube to
provide adequate clearance as follows.
1.
Disconnect negative battery cables.
P-MODEL VANS OR FORWARD CONTROL CHASSIS ONLY:
2.
Remove nuts retaining the oil filler tube lower hold-down bracket (see Figure No. 2). Remove and discard upper bracket if equipped. Reinstall nut
on crossover manifold, if upper bracket was removed, and torque to 18-27 N-m (13-20 Ft.lbs.).

3.
Install spacers (5/16" flat washers) as required on the lower holddown bracket attaching studs (see Figure No. 3). Approximately one inch of
clearance is needed at the oil filler cap.
4.
Reinstall oil filler tube (with new oil filler cap) and hold-down bracket.
Additional clearance, if needed, can be gained by firmly pulling on the filler tube. This will slightly distort the hold-down bracket. Care should be
used when doing this, so that the filler tube is not damaged nor the oil seal grommet.
