Installation Procedure
Engine Oil Pressure Control Solenoid Valve (2) - Install
- Oil Pump Flow Control Solenoid Valve Bolt (1) - Install and tighten - Fastener Specifications
- Connect the electrical connector.
Spray Low VOC brake cleaner on the lower crankcase extension sealing surface and wipe off with a clean shop towel. Avoided touching the surface after cleaning and dry with shop air.
- Wipe the oil pan surface with Adhesion Plastic Pan Primer Promoter using a clean shop towel. Allow the cleaner to flash / evaporate. Wipe off the sealing surfaces with a lint free cloth. Do not touch the sealing surface after cleaning to avoid introducing contaminants and debris to the bonding surface. Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers
- Do NOT put the RTV on the lower (inside) step of the oil pan or on the flat outer flange of the oil pan near or around the bolt holes. Improper RTV application to the mating surfaces of the oil pan may result in oil leaks.
- Do not allow the RTV (1) to skin over. The oil pan must be installed within 10 minutes of RTV application.
- The RTV bead should be a uniform diameter to ensure the best seal upon assembly. Do not allow the RTV to flatten before assembly. Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant
- Proper application of the RTV bead around the ledge will allow the RTV to flow to the lower step on the inside of the oil pan when it is reinstalled. This will fill the lower step resulting in a seal around the inside of the oil pan.
- Apply a 3 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of RTV (1) around the ledge of the oil pan.
- NOTE:
- The engine block lower structural extension surface must be free of contamination prior to applying the sealer.
- Install and align the oil pan to the block within 10 minutes after applying the sealer.
- The oil pan must be fastened to final torque specification within 15 minutes after applying the sealer.
