to the friction areas during assembly in order to protect and lubricate the surfaces on initial Whenever you remove the valve train components, keep the components in order. Follow this Disconnect the negative battery cables before you perform any major work on the engine. For SEPARATING PARTS Separate, mark, or organize the following components: Piston and the piston pin Piston to the specific cylinder bore Piston rings to the piston Connecting rod to the crankshaft journal Connecting rod to the bearing cap A paint stick or etching/engraving type tool are recommended. Stamping the connecting rod NOTE: Engine damage may result if an abrasive paper, pad, or motorized CAUTION: Refer to BATTERY DISCONNECT CAUTION . IMPORTANT: Many internal engine components will develop specific wear patterns on their friction surfaces.

Crankshaft main and connecting rod bearings Camshaft and valve lifters Valve lifters, guides, pushrods, pivot supports and rocker arms Valve to the valve guide Valve spring and shim to the cylinder head location Engine block main bearing cap location and direction Oil pump drive and driven gears REPLACING ENGINE GASKETS Gasket Reuse and Applying Sealant Do not reuse any gasket unless specified. Gaskets that can be reused will be identified in the service procedure. Do not apply sealant to any gasket or sealing surface unless specified in the service Separating Components Use a rubber mallet in order to separate the components. Bump the part sideways in order to loosen the components. Bumping of the component should be done at bends or reinforced areas of the component to USE OF ROOM TEMPERATURE VULCANIZING (RTV) AND ANAEROBIC SEALANT Sealant Types The following 2 major types of sealant are commonly used in engines: Aerobic sealant (Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV)) Anaerobic sealant, which include the following: Gasket eliminator IMPORTANT: The correct sealant and amount of sealant must be used in the proper location to prevent oil leaks, coolant leaks, or the

Pipe Threadlock Aerobic Type Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) Sealant Aerobic type Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) sealant cures when exposed to air. This type Use the following information when using RTV sealant: Do not use RTV sealant in areas where extreme temperatures are expected. These areas The exhaust manifold The head gasket Any other surfaces where a different type of sealant is specified in the service Always follow all the safety recommendations and the directions that are on the RTV Use a plastic or wood scraper in order to remove all the RTV sealant from the components. The surfaces to be sealed must be clean and dry. Use a RTV sealant bead size as specified in the service procedure. Apply the RTV sealant bead to the inside of any bolt holes areas. Assemble the components while the RTV sealant is still wet to the touch (within 3 minutes). Tighten the fasteners in sequence (if specified) and to the proper torque specifications. DO Anaerobic Type Gasket Eliminator Sealant Anaerobic type gasket eliminator sealant cures in the absence of air. This type of sealant is used IMPORTANT: Do not allow the RTV sealant to enter any blind threaded holes, as it may prevent the fasteners from clamping

anaerobic type gasket eliminator sealant. Use the following information when using gasket eliminator sealant: Always follow all the safety recommendations and directions that are on the gasket Apply a continuous bead of gasket eliminator sealant to one flange. The surfaces to be sealed must be clean and dry. Apply the gasket eliminator sealant evenly to get a uniform thickness of the gasket Tighten the fasteners in sequence (if specified) and to the proper torque specifications. DO After properly tightening the fasteners, remove the excess gasket eliminator sealant from the Anaerobic Type Threadlock Sealant Anaerobic type threadlock sealant cures in the absence of air. This type of sealant is used for Use the following information when using threadlock sealant: Always follow all safety recommendations and directions that are on the threadlock sealant The threaded surfaces to be sealed must be clean and dry. Apply the threadlock sealant as specified on the threadlock sealant container. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the gasket eliminator sealant to enter any blind threaded holes, as the gasket eliminator sealant may prevent IMPORTANT: Gasket eliminator sealed joint fasteners that are partially torqued and the gasket eliminator sealant allowed to cure
