Oil Pan

Installation

Install the oil pan in the reverse order of removal:
• Always use new O-rings.
• Oil pan and cylinder block mating surface must be
clean.
1. Apply liquid gasket to the cylinder block, then install
the oil pan.
NOTE:
• Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718
0003.
• Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
• Apply liquid gasket evenly, being careful to cover
all the mating surface.
• Do not apply liquid gasket to O-ring grooves.
• To prevent oil leakage, apply liquid gasket to the
inner threads of the bolt holes.
• Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more have
elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
• After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes before fill-
ing the engine with oil.
Apply liquid gasket
along the broken line.
