base (MB991448), press in the crankshaft front oil 
seal up to the chamfered surface of timing chain 
case.

>>D<< TIMING CHAIN CASE ASSEMBLY 
INSTALLATION

CAUTION

• Be sure to remove the sealant inside the 

mounting holes and the O-ring grooves.

• After degreasing with degreasing agent, 

check that there is no oil on the surface where 
the sealant is applied.

• After degreasing with degreasing agent, 

never touch the degreased area with fingers.

1. Remove sealant from the timing chain case 

assembly and the timing chain case assembly 
mounting surface of the cylinder block and the 
cylinder head, and degrease the surface where 
the sealant is applied.

2. Remove all the sealant adhering to the gasket 

between the cylinder head and cylinder block 
(three-surface aligned part.) Then, degrease the 
surfaces.

3. As for the three-surface aligned part that is 

indicated in step 2 above, the engine oil oozes 
from the cylinder head gasket. Thus, quickly apply 
the sealant to it after degreasing.
