Installation (page 2 of 2)

Ensure that the sump oil outlet seal locates to the oil pump inlet before the sump is faced up to the engine block. Do not use a mallet etc. to face up the sump to engine block.

Ensure the sump is flush to 0.25mm underflush to the rear face of the cylinder block.

Secure the sump using bolts (x15 M8) and (x5 M6). Tighten the bolts using a two stage procedure:

1. Tighten all bolts to 15 Nm. in the sequence shown.
2. Tighten all bolts through a further 90° following the same sequence.

6. Install the coolant pipe.
7. Install the front subframe (Refer to 'Front Subframe', page 2-1-2).
8. Install the lower suspension arms (Do not torque bolts)
9. Install the anti-roll bar. Torque the stabiliser nut to 110 Nm.
10. Remove the engine support.
11. Fill the engine with the recommended quantity and grade of engine oil (Refer to 'Specifications', page 3-3-2).
12. Torque the suspension fixings with the vehicle at normal ride height (Refer to 'Front Suspension (04.01)', page 4-2-1):
    • Lower suspension arms to the subframe - 115 Nm.
13. Check and adjust the front wheel alignment (Refer to 'Road Wheel Nut Torque Tightening', page 4-5-7).
14. Raise the vehicle and install the front undertray.
