–  Cut off tube nozzle at forward marking (Ø of nozzle approx. 3 mm).
–  Apply silicone sealing compound, as shown, to clean sealing surface on sump. Sealant bead must be:
t  2…3 mm thick.
t  Run bead along inner side of bolt holes -arrows-.
  Note
The sealant bead must not be thicker, otherwise excess sealing compound will enter the oil sump and may block the oil suction line strainer.
  N17-0019
–  Apply silicone sealing compound bead as shown to the clean sealing surface of the sump. (The figure shows the position of the sealant bead on the cylinder block.)
–  Install sump immediately and tighten the connecting bolts for sump to gearbox and all sump bolts lightly. Ensure that sump is flush against intermediate plate and gearbox flange.
  Note
When installing sump with engine out of vehicle, ensure that sump is flush with cylinder block at flywheel end.
–  Tighten sump bolts diagonally to 15 Nm.
–  Tighten bolts securing sump to gearbox to 40 Nm.
  Note
Let sealing compound dry for approx. 30 minutes after installing oil sump. Only then fill with engine oil.
Further assembly is basically the reverse of the dismantling sequence.
