Note:
• | The oil pan gasket is reusable. It is NOT necessary to remove the oil pan gasket unless damaged. |
• | DO NOT allow foreign material to enter the oil passages of the oil pan, cap or cover the openings as required. |
Note:
• | The alignment of the structural oil pan is critical. The rear bolt hole locations of the oil pan provide mounting points for the transmission bellhousing. To ensure the rigidity of the powertrain and correct transmission alignment, it is important that the rear of the block and the rear of the oil pan must NEVER protrude beyond the engine block and transmission bellhousing plane. |
• | If replacing the oil pan gasket it is not necessary to rivet the NEW gasket to the oil pan. |
• | Install the gasket onto the pan. |
• | Install the oil pan bolts to the pan and through the gasket. |
Caution: Refer to Fastener Caution in the Preface section.
