>>A<< TIMING CHAIN CASE INSTALLATION
1. caution | - Completely remove all the old liquid gasket, which might be remaining in the installation hole, the O-ring groove or among the components such as the cylinder head gasket.
- Use isopropyl alcohol to degrease. Then check that liquid gasket application surface and recesses are not contaminated with oil or grease.
- Do not touch the part to be degreased as fingerprints may affect sealing performance.
|
Completely remove the liquid gasket adhered to the timing chain case assembly, the cylinder block and the cylinder head, and then degrease using white gasoline.
2. caution | Install the timing chain case within ten minutes after applying the liquid gasket. |
Apply liquid gasket of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness to the timing chain case. Apply some beads of liquid gasket, 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch), to the three mating faces between the cylinder head and the cylinder block, also to the three mating faces between the cylinder block and the ladder frame as shown in the illustration.
Specified sealant:
- ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent
3. Remove all the liquid gasket adhering to the gasket between the cylinder head and cylinder block (three-surface aligned part). Then, degrease the surfaces with white gasoline.
4. Engine oil, which is soaked in the cylinder head gasket, will emerge at the three-surface aligned part. Therefore, immediately after degreasing, apply liquid gasket.
5. Install the timing chain case.
6. Tighten timing chain case mounting bolts to the specified torque.Tightening torque
- A: 10 ± 2 N·m (89 ± 17 in-lb)
- B: 24 ± 4 N·m (18 ± 2 ft-lb)
- C: 35 ± 5 N·m (26 ± 3 ft-lb)
