• Do not insert a screwdriver, this will damage the mating

surfaces.

NOTE:

Tap (1) Tool to insert it and then slide (2) it by tapping on the side

of the Tool as shown.

INSPECTION AFTER REMOVAL

Clean oil strainer if any object attached.

INSTALLATION

1. Install oil pan with the following procedure:
a. Use a scraper to remove old liquid gasket from mating surfaces.

• Also remove the old liquid gasket from mating surface of cylin-

der block.

• Remove old liquid gasket from the bolt holes and threads.

CAUTION:

Do not scratch or damage the mating surfaces when clean-

ing off old liquid gasket.

b. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket using Tool as shown.

Use Genuine RTV Silicone Sealant or equivalent. Refer to

GI-21, "Recommended Chemical Products and Sealants"

.

CAUTION:

Attaching should be done within 5 minutes after coating.

c.

Tighten bolts in numerical order as shown.

INSPECTION AFTER INSTALLATION

• Before starting engine, check oil/fluid levels including engine coolant and engine oil. If less than required

quantity, fill to the specified level. Refer to 

MA-16, "FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants"

 (United

States and Canada).

• Use procedure below to check for fuel leakage.

• Turn ignition switch ON (with engine stopped). With fuel pressure applied to fuel piping, check for fuel leak-

age at connection points.

• Start engine. With engine speed increased, check again for fuel leakage at connection points.

• Run engine to check for unusual noise and vibration.

NOTE:

If hydraulic pressure inside timing chain tensioner drops after removal and installation, slack in the guide

may generate a pounding noise during and just after engine start. However, this is normal. Noise will stop

after hydraulic pressure rises.

• Warm up engine thoroughly to make sure there is no leakage of fuel, exhaust gas, or any oils/fluids including

engine oil and engine coolant.

• Bleed air from passages in lines and hoses, such as in cooling system.

• After cooling down engine, again check oil/fluid levels including engine oil and engine coolant. Refill to spec-

ified level, if necessary.

• Summary of the inspection items:

*Power steering fluid, brake fluid, etc.
