11 If a blue rubber seal is used, ensure that a 3 mm bead of silicon sealant (F2) is applied to the surface of
the joint (F1). The sealant must not extend further than 15 mm up the side of the blue rubber seal (F3).
12 Carefully fit the sump onto the cylinder block. Fit a setscrew on each side of the sump to ensure that it is
in the correct position. Loosely fit the remainder of the setscrews and the nuts.
Caution: If a cast iron sump is fitted it is important that the rear face of the sump and the cylinder block are
aligned to within 0,1 mm (0.004 in). Check the alignment with a feeler gauge and a straight edge (G). If
necessary, a soft face hammer can be used to adjust the position of the sump before the fasteners are fully
tightened. Two fasteners at each end should be tightened by hand.
