Item 7: Crankshaft Rear Seal Retainer Plate Installation Note
1. CAUTION: 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: Clean the sealing surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow
this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Clean and inspect the mating surface.
2. NOTE: If the rear crankshaft seal retaining plate is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned
with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can
cause future oil leaks.
NOTE: The silicone must be applied on the groove along the retainer plate.
Apply a 4 mm (0.16 inch) bead of silicone gasket and sealant around the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate sealing surface.
