NOTE:

- Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
- Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the upper surface contact areas of the engine block (B).
- 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.





13. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the oil pan mating surface of the chain case and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.

NOTE:

- Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
- Apply a 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the shaded area (B).
- 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.





14. Set the edge of the chain case (A) on the edge of the oil pan (B), then install the chain case on the engine block (C).

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.





15. Tighten the chain case mounting bolts. Wipe off the excess liquid gasket from the oil pan and the chain case mating area.






16. Install the cylinder head cover Cylinder Head Cover Installation.

17. Install the side engine mount/bracket assembly (A), then tighten the new side engine mount/bracket assembly mounting bolts (B).





18. Loosely install the new side engine mount/bracket assembly mounting nuts (C).

19. Install the ground cable (D).
