Description
Rubber plug replacer
Note: Before the front and rear bearing caps are fully tightened, use a straight edge to check their alignment
with the front / rear faces of the cylinder block.
Cautions:
l The seals for the front and rear bearing caps have a curve at one end (A1) that must be fitted towards the
side of the engine and with the curve inserted first into the hole.
l The seals have a soft metal insert. Be careful not to bend the seal when it is first inserted into the hole.
l After the rear cap has been tightened, it is important to remove any sealant from inside the recess for the
rear oil seal, see Operation 5-12. If this is not done, the oil seal will not fit correctly and will cause oil
leakage.
Fit the seals initially by hand and push approximately 30% of the seal into the hole.
Use a small drift to push the seal below the surface of the cap, until a resistance is felt; the seal is now fitted
to the bottom of the hole. Remove any excess sealant from around the holes.
