Removal and installation the upper oil pan
Removal
Loosen the mounting bolts in the reverse order to that shown in the figure.
Caution: Be careful that bolts No.15, 16 do not fall into the gearbox.
Remove the upper oil pan using a cutter.
Installation
Apply a continuous bead of Three Bond 1207C sealant (KR510 00150) to the places shown in the figure.
Attention:
In the 8 places marked with stars, the sealant is applied from the outside of the bolt hole.
The diameter of the sealant strip on the front side differs from the strip in other places.
Tighten the mounting bolts in the order shown in the figure above.
The lengths of the mounting bolts vary, so please refer to the bolt dimensions below when installing them.
- M8x25 mm: No.3, 4, 9, 10
- M8x60mm: №№1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14
- Mbx30mm: No.15, 16
Note: Bolt lengths are given without head and guide part (the length of the threaded part is indicated).
Removal and installation the TDC sensor
Removal
Attention:
Be careful not to damage the sensor when removing it.
Do not store in areas exposed to metal particles.
Do not store in places where there is a magnetic field.
Installation
Tighten the set bolt, pressing the TDC sensor sleeve against the recess in the upper oil pan.
Installing the oil pan cover
If the set bolts are reused, remove the old sealant from the threaded portion, apply Three Bond screw Lock 1303B and tighten them.
Note: New bolts already have a locking compound applied, so no sealant is required.
Installing the air conditioning compressor bracket
Tighten the mounting bolts to 56.9-65.7 N·m (5.8-6.7 kg·m).
Caution: Before performing any work, disconnect the cable from the negative terminal of the battery.
