1. NOTE: Lubricate the O-ring seal with clean engine oil prior to installation.
Install the CKP sensor and the bolt.
-
Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
2. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools
cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
NOTE: If the engine front cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing
area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Follow
the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
NOTE: Make sure that the engine front cover gasket is in place on the engine front cover before installation.
Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant along the cylinder head-to-cylinder block surface and the oil pan-to-cylinder block surface, at the
locations shown.
3. Install a new engine front cover gasket on the engine front cover. Position the engine front cover onto the dowels. Install the fasteners finger-tight.
4. Tighten the 15 engine front cover fasteners in the sequence shown in 2 stages.
-
Stage 1: Tighten fasteners 1 through 15 to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
-
Stage 2: Tighten fasteners 6 and 7 to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).
