Sorento Crankshaft Bolt Replacement (SC072)
(Updated 2007-07-30)
Description
This bulletin provides information related to the 2003-2004 Sorento models produced from 6/30/2002 - 1/28/2004. The Crankshaft Pulley bolt may
become loose, especially if it was improperly torqued during routine service. The usual indicator of such loosening is a rattling noise coming from the
engine compartment, which can be traced to the Crankshaft Pulley assembly. The Crankshaft Pulley bolt and washer should be replaced with the
corrosion free bolt and washer (Dacro Coating) which can be identified by its silver color. The Crankshaft pulley bolt and washer should never be
re-used and should be replaced, if removed. This bulletin describes the proper service procedure for identifying and torqueing the Crankshaft Pulley bolt.
This procedure should be performed with the engine at ambient temperature. Do Not perform this procedure on a hot engine.
CAUTION:
In order to prevent the chance of engine damage, the crankshaft pulley bolt and washer should NOT be re-used after they have been removed, always
replace the bolt and washer with P/N 23127 39801QQK during all serviceing of the Crankshaft bolt.
