Installation procedure
Installation: Timing gear case
• Remove oil or any other contamination from the surfaces where
sealant is to be applied.
• Apply a sealant to the illustrated section of the timing gear case.
• Install the timing gear case to the cylinder head within 3 minutes
following the application of the sealant. Take care not to spread
the sealant beyond the application areas during installation.
CAUTION
• Do not start the engine for at least an hour after installation.
• After reassembly, if the timing gear case mounting bolts are
subsequently loosened or removed, be sure to apply seal-
ant again upon reassembly.
Installation: Cylinder head
CAUTION
• Before installing the Mitsubishi 6M70 cylinder head bolt,
check the number of punch marks on the bolt head.
(Bolts with up to two punch marks can be reused.)
The number of punch marks indicates the number of times
the bolt has been tightened in the past within the plastic re-
gion. If there are three punch marks (tightened three times
in the past), replace the bolt.
• Remove oil or any other contamination from the surfaces where
sealant is to be applied.
• Apply sealant onto the areas (shown in the illustration) on the
top surfaces of the flywheel housing and crankcase.
• Within three minutes following the application, install the cylinder
head gasket onto the crankcase. Take care not to spread the
sealant beyond the application areas during installation.
CAUTION
• Be careful not to scratch the cylinder head gasket when in-
stalling the cylinder head gasket.
• Do not start the engine for at least an hour after installation.
• After reassembly, if the cylinder head bolts are subsequent-
ly loosened or removed, be sure to replace the cylinder
head gasket and apply sealant again upon reassembly.
