NOTE:
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
20. Apply liquid gasket to the engine block upper surface contact areas on the chain case and lower block upper surface contact areas on the chain case (see step 16).
21. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001 , 08718-0003, or 08718-0009, evenly to the oil pan mating surface of the chain case. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket (see step 17).
NOTE:
- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
22. Install the new O-ring, side engine mount bracket, and mounting bolts on the chain case. Set the edge of the chain case to the edge of the oil pan, then install the chain case on the engine block (see step 18). Wipe off the excess liquid gasket on the oil pan and chain case mating area.
NOTE:
- When installing the chain case, do not slide the bottom surface onto the oil pan mounting surface.
- Wait at least 30 minutes before filling the engine with oil.
- Do not run the engine for at least 3 hours after installing the chain case.
23. Tighten the side engine mount bracket mounting bolts (see step 19).
24. Install the side engine mount bracket, then loosely tighten the new bolt and nut, and loosely tighten the bolt. Install the ground cable (see step 20).
25. Remove the air cleaner housing assembly.
26. Loosen the transmission mounting bolt and nuts (see step 23).
27. Raise the lift to full height.
28. Loosen the lower torque rod mounting bolt (see step 25).
29. Lower the vehicle on the lift.
30. Tighten the side engine mount mounting bolts and nut (see step 27).
