Tighten mounting bolts in numerical order as shown in the figure.
There are two types of mounting bolts. Refer to the following for locating bolts.
Bolt length: Bolt position
20 mm (0.79 in) 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10
16 mm (0.63 in) 4, 5, 11, 12, 13
Torque 12.7 Nm (1.3 kg-m, 9 ft-lb)
Bolt length: Bolt position
16 mm (0.63 in) Except the above
Torque 15.0 Nm (1.5 kg-m, 11 ft-lb)
After all bolts are tightened, retighten them to the specified torque in numerical order shown in the figure.
If liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
After installing rear timing chain case, check the surface height difference between the following parts on the oil pan (upper) mounting surface.
1: Rear timing chain case
2: Lower cylinder block
Standard
Rear timing chain case to lower cylinder block -0.24 to 0.14 mm (-0.0094 to 0.0055 in)
If not within the standard, repeat the installation procedure.
