Note:

The sealing compound bead must not be thicker, otherwise excess sealing compound will enter the sump and may block the oil suction pipe strainer.

• ‒ → Apply silicone sealing bead as shown to the clean sealing surface of the sump. (The illustration shows the position of the sealant bead on the cylinder block).
• ‒ Install sump immediately and tighten bolts as follows:

•     1 -    Tighten all bolts sump/cylinder block very lightly and diagonally.
•     2 -    Lightly tighten three bolts sump/gearbox.
•     3 -    Lightly tighten all bolts sump/cylinder block diagonally.

Notes:
