18.

Remove the timing chain cover & oil pump assembly (A).

•	Remove thoroughly sealant and oil etc left at the sealing surface after remove the chain cover and oil pan. (If any impurities are left at the sealing face, oil may leak after reassembly even with the sealant application.)

•	Do not disassemble the oil pump (A) from timing chain cover & oil pump assembly because it is supplied as timing chain cover & oil pump assembly.

Installation

Install the timing chain cover & oil pump assembly.

(1)	The sealant locations on chain cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block) must be free of engine oil and etc.

(2)

Before assembling the timing chain cover, the liquid sealant should be applied on the gap between cylinder head and cylinder block.

Assemble the part within 5 minutes of applying sealant.

Bead width : 4.0 mm (0.16 in.)

(3)

Apply liquid sealant on chain cover & oil pump assembly.. Then, assemble the part within 5 minutes of applying sealant.

Sealant should be applied in a continuous bead in each of the areas indicated below.

Bead width

A : 1.5 - 2.5 mm (0.06 - 0.10 in.)

B : 2.5 - 3.5 mm (0.09 - 0.14 in.)

C : 3.0 - 4.0 mm (0.12 - 0.16 in.)

When installing the timing chain, be careful not to remove the applied sealant from the timing cover by contacting with other parts.

(4)	After applying the engine oil, install the new O-ring (A) on the cylinder block and ladder frame.

(5)

The dowel pins on the cylinder block and holes on the chain cover & oil pump assembly. should be used as a reference in order to assemble the chain cover & oil pump assembly correctly.
