^ Tighten to 72 Nm (53 lb-ft).
63. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive disks or other abrasive means to clean sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths.
Clean and inspect the mounting surfaces of the engine and the front cover.
64. NOTE: The engine front cover must be installed and the bolts tightened within 4 minutes of applying the silicone gasket and sealant.
Apply a 2.5 mm (0.09 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the cylinder head and oil pan joint areas. Apply a 2.5 mm (0.09 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the front cover.
65. Install the engine front cover. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown, to the following specifications:
^ Tighten the 8-mm bolts to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
^ Tighten the 13-mm bolts to 48 Nm (35 lb-ft).
66. NOTE: Remove the through-bolt from the Camshaft Front Oil Seal Installer.
NOTE: Lubricate the oil seal with clean engine oil.
Using the Camshaft Front Oil Seal Installer, install a new crankshaft front oil seal.
67. NOTE: Do not install the crankshaft pulley bolt at this time.
NOTE: Apply clean engine oil on the seal area before installing.
Position the crankshaft pulley onto the crankshaft with the hole in the pulley at the 6 o'clock position.
68. NOTICE: Only hand-tighten the 6 mm x 18 mm bolt or damage to the front cover can occur.
NOTE: This step will correctly align the crankshaft pulley to the crankshaft.
Install a 6 mm x 18 mm bolt through the crankshaft pulley and thread it into the front cover.
69. NOTICE: The crankshaft must remain in the Top Dead Center (TDC) position during installation of the pulley bolt or damage to the engine can occur. Therefore, the crankshaft pulley must be held in place with the Crankshaft Damper Holding Tool and the bolt should be installed using hand tools only.
NOTE: Do not reuse the crankshaft pulley bolt.
Install a new crankshaft pulley bolt. Using the Crankshaft Damper Holding Tool to hold the crankshaft pulley in place, tighten the crankshaft pulley bolt in 2 stages:
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 100 Nm (74 lb-ft).
^ Stage 2: Tighten an additional 90 degrees (1/4 turn).
70. Remove the 6 mm x 18 mm bolt.
71. Remove the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
72. Remove the Camshaft Alignment Plate.
73. NOTE: Only turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise one and three-fourths turns.
74. Install the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
75. NOTE: Only turn the engine in the normal direction of rotation.
Turn the crankshaft clockwise until the crankshaft contacts the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
76. NOTICE: Only hand-tighten the bolt or damage to the front cover can occur.
Using the 6 mm x 18 mm bolt, check the position of the crankshaft pulley.
^ If it is not possible to install the bolt, the engine valve timing must be corrected.
77. Install the Camshaft Alignment Plate to check the position of the camshafts.
^ If it is not possible to install the Camshaft Alignment Plate, the engine valve timing must be corrected.
78. Remove the Camshaft Alignment Plate.
79. Install the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and the 2 bolts.
^ Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
80. Using the Crankshaft Sensor Aligner, adjust the CKP sensor.
^ Tighten the 2 CKP bolts to 7 Nm (62 lb-in).
81. Remove the 6 mm x 18 mm bolt.
82. Remove the Crankshaft TDC Timing Peg.
83. Install the engine plug bolt.
^ Tighten to 20 Nm (177 lb-in).
84. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths.
Clean the valve cover gasket surface with metal surface cleaner.
85. Apply silicone gasket and sealant to the locations shown.
86. NOTE: The valve cover must be secured within 4 minutes of silicone gasket application. If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner.
Install the valve cover.
^ Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
87. NOTICE: Only use hand tools when removing or installing the spark plugs or damage can occur to the cylinder head or spark plug.
Install the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor and the spark plugs.
^ Tighten the CHT sensor to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).
^ Tighten the spark plugs to 12 Nm (106 lb-in).
88. NOTE: Apply dielectric compound to the inside of the coil-on-plug boots.
Install the 4 coil-on-plugs and the 4 bolts.
^ Tighten to 8 Nm (71 lb-in).
89. NOTE: Make sure the notch on the oil level indicator is aligned with the V-shaped boss on the valve cover and fully engaged into the valve cover.
Install the oil level indicator.
