Installing sump

Note

t	Observe the use-by date of the sealing compound.

t	The oil sump must be installed within 5 minutes of applying silicone sealing compound.

–	Cut off tube nozzle at forward marking (approx. 3 mm nozzle Ø).

–	Apply silicone sealing compound, as shown, to clean sealing surface on oil sump. Sealant bead must be:

t	2…3 mm thick.

t	Run bead along inner side of bolt holes -arrows-.

Note

The sealant bead must not be thicker, otherwise excessive sealant enters the sump and may block the oil suction pipe strainer.

–	Sealant bead must be applied with extreme care in vicinity of arrows.

–	Put sump in position immediately and tighten bolts as follows:

1 -	Tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block only very lightly and diagonally.

2 -	Tighten bolts between sump and gearbox lightly.

3 -	Further tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block lightly and diagonally.

4 -	Tighten bolts between sump and gearbox to 25 Nm.

5 -	Tighten all bolts between sump and cylinder block diagonally to 15 Nm.

Note

t	When installing sump with engine out of the vehicle, ensure that sump is flush with cylinder block at flywheel end.

t	Let sealing compound dry for approx. 30 minutes after installing oil sump. Only then fill with engine oil.

Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling procedure.
