RTV sealant is used as a gasket between the oil pan
and the crankcase. Refer to Section 2, Special Tools
for a listing of approved sealants. Always use fresh
sealant. Using outdated sealant can result in leakage.
1. Be sure the sealing surfaces have been cleaned
and prepared as described at the beginning of
Section 10.
2. Check to make sure that there are no nicks or
burrs on the sealing surfaces of the oil pan or
crankcase.
3. Apply a 1.5 mm (1/16 in.) bead of Black RTV
sealant to the sealing surface of the oil pan. See
Figure 10-25 for the sealant pattern. Oil pan must
be installed within five minutes of the sealant
being applied for proper sealing to occur.
4. Make sure the end of the governor cross shaft is
lying against the bottom of cylinder inside the
crankcase. See Figure 10-15.
5. Install the oil pan to the crankcase. Carefully seat
the camshaft with shim and crankshaft into their
mating bearings. Rotate the crankshaft to help
engage the oil pump and governor gear meshes.
6. Install the ten hex flange screws securing the
oil pan to the crankcase. Torque the fasteners in
the sequence shown in Figure 10-26 to 24.4 N·m
(216 in. lb). On some engines one of the ten
mounting screws is plated. The plated screw is
typically installed in the #6 hole shown in Figure
10-26.
1. Install the breather reed, followed by the retainer
over the passage hole and mounting hole in the
crankcase. Hold in position and secure with
the mounting stud. Torque the stud to 6.2 N·m
(55 in. lb.) into a new, cored hole, or 4.0 N·m
(35 in. lb.) into a used hole. See Figure 10-28.
