INSTALLATION SERVICE POINTS

>>A<< TIMING CHAIN CASE INSTALLA-
TION

CAUTION

• Completely remove all the old liquid gasket, 

which might be remaining in the installation 
hole, the O-ring groove or among the compo-
nents such as the cylinder head gasket.

• Sufficiently check that there is no residual oil 

on the place where degreasing is performed. 
If fingerprints are left, do not touch it with 
bare hands after the degreasing, since the 
oils from your fingers will harm the seal abil-
ity.

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the 

timing chain case, cylinder block and cylinder 
head.

2. Degrease the surface where the liquid gasket is 

applied and the contact surface between the 
cylinder block and the cylinder head.

CAUTION

Install the timing chain case within three minutes 
after applying the liquid gasket.

3. Apply liquid gasket of 2.5 

± 0.5 mm in thickness to 

the timing chain case. For the place "D" shown in 
the illustration, however, apply the liquid gasket 
whose diameter is 4.5 

± 0.5 mm or pile up the 

liquid gasket of 2.5 

± 0.5 mm as shown in the 

illustration.

Specified sealant:

ThreeBond 1217G or equivalent

AK703734AC

4. The engine oil staying at the cylinder gasket 

oozes to the 3-plane contact surface described in 
Step 2 and 3. Swiftly apply the liquid gasket to this 
area after degreasing.

CAUTION

The front oil seal must not be a strong press fit. 
The strong press fit can possibly cause the oil 
leakage, damaging the front oil seal.
2. Use special tool Bush remover and installer base 

(MB991448) in order to press-fit the front oil seal 
into the timing chain case as shown in the 
illustration.

>>C<< OIL PAN INSTALLATION

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the 

cylinder block and oil pan.

CAUTION

Install the oil pan within three minutes after liquid 
gasket is applied.

>>E<< OIL FILTER INSTALLATION

1. Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the ladder 

frame.

2. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter.

AK502733AC

MB991396

CAUTION

Use special tool Filter wrench (MB991396) to 
install the oil filter. Tightening it by hand causes 
oil leakage due to lack of torque.
3. Screw in the oil filter. When the O-ring contacts 

the mounting surface, use a filter wrench to 
tighten it 1 turns (14 

± 2 N⋅m).
