Timing Cover

NOTE: The engine front cover must be installed and all fasteners final tightened within 5 minutes of applying the sealer. If this cannot be accomplished, install the engine front cover and tighten fasteners 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) within 5 minutes of applying the sealer. All of the fasteners must then be final tightened within 1 hour of applying the sealer. If this time limit is exceeded, all sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown in 2 stages.
Stage 1: Tighten bolts 1-15 to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft) and bolts 16-19 to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
Stage 2: Tighten bolts 1-15 an additional 60 degrees and bolts 16-19 an additional 45 degrees.
