| 12. | Tighten the connecting rod bolts to 20 N·m (2.0 kgf·m, 14 lbf·ft). |
| 13. | Tighten the connecting rod bolts an additional 90 °. NOTE: Remove the connecting rod bolt if you tightened it beyond the specified angle, and go back to 9 of the procedure. Do not loosen it back to the specified angle.
|
| 14. | Remove any old liquid gasket from the lower block mating surfaces, bolts, and bolt holes. |
| 15. | Clean, and dry the lower block mating surfaces. |
| 16. | Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08C70-K0234M, 08C70- K0334M or 08C70-X0331S, evenly to the engine block mating surface of the lower block. NOTE: Do not install components if 5 minutes or more have passed after applying the liquid gasket. Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
|
| 17. | Put the lower block on the engine block.
|
| 18. | Apply new engine oil to the threads and flange of the bearing cap bolts. |
| 19. | Tighten the bearing cap bolts, in sequence, to 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18 lbf·ft).
|
| 20. | Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 57 °.
|
| 21. | Tighten the 8 mm bolts, in sequence, to 24 N·m (2.4 kgf·m, 17 lbf·ft).
|
| 22. | Use the special tools to drive a new oil seal squarely into the block to the specified installed height.
|
| 23. | Measure the distance between the engine block (A) and oil seal (B).
