Apply liquid gasket evenly to the mating surface of timing chain cover.
Standard liquid gasket : LOCTITE 5900, LOCTITE 5900H, THREE BOND 1217H
Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry before applying liquid gasket.
Assemble the timing chain cover in 5 minutes after applying the liquid gasket.
Apply liquid gasket in a 3mm wide bead without stopping.
Install the timing chain cover (A).
Tightening torque
Bolt (B, C, F) :

Bolt (D, E) :
9.8 ~ 11.8N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7lb-ft)
Bolt (G) :
42.2 ~ 54.0N.m (4.3 ~ 5.5kgf.m, 31.1 ~ 39.8lb-ft)
Install the front oil seal.
(Refer to Timing System - "Front Oil Seal")
Install the other parts reverse order of removal.
Refill engine oil.
Clean the battery posts and cable terminals with sandpaper.
Assemble and then apply grease to prevent corrosion.
Inspect for fuel leakage.
After assembling the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuel line pressurizes.
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel lines.
Refill radiator and reservoir tank with engine coolant.
Bleed air from the cooling system.
Start engine and let it run until it warms up. (Until the radiator fan operates 3 or 4 times.)
Turn Off the engine and let it cool down. Check the level in the radiator, add coolant if needed. This will allow trapped air to be removed from the cooling system.
Put radiator cap on tightly, then run the engine again and check for leaks.
