- Install oil pan gasket to engine block. Install oil pan. Install oil pan bolts and nuts finger tight (just tight enough to compress gasket's rubber seal). Install timing chain cover-to-pan bolts, and tighten to specification. See TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS . Tighten oil pan bolts, and then oil pan nuts, to specification. See Fig 2.
- Install structural collar-to-oil pan vertical (position) bolts (No. 1) and tighten bolts to 10 INCH lbs. (1 N.m). See Fig 3. Install structural collar-to-transaxle bolts (No. 2) and tighten bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 N.m).
- Starting with center vertical (position) bolts (No. 1) and working outward, tighten bolts to 40 ft. lbs. (54 N.m). To complete installation, reverse removal procedure.
