^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
96. Position the cooling fan wiring harness and install the nut.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
97. Connect the LH camshaft position sensor and attach the wiring harness retainers.
98. Connect the oil pressure sensor electrical connector.
99. Position the RH radio interference capacitor and install the nut.
^ Tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
100. Attach the wiring harness retainers.
101. NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.
Connect the RH and LH variable camshaft timing (VCT) solenoid electrical connectors.
102. NOTE: RH shown, LH similar.
Disconnect the RH and LH camshaft position (CMP) sensor electrical connectors.
103. Connect the crankshaft position sensor electrical connector and attach the wiring harness retainer.
104. Install the special tool.
105. Using a suitable floor crane, remove the engine from the engine stand.
106. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the aluminum retainer plate. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
Inspect the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate. Clean the mating surface for the rear seal retainer plate with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.
107. NOTE: The crankshaft rear seal retainer plate does not have a sealant groove. Gasket maker must be applied to the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate mating surface on the engine block.
Apply a bead of gasket maker to the crankshaft rear seal retainer mating surface on the engine block.
108. Install the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate and loosely install the 6 bolts.
109. Tighten the 6 bolts in the sequence shown.
^ Tighten to 10 Nm (89 lb-in).
110. CAUTION: 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. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
Inspect the oil pan. Clean the mating surface for the oil pan with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging.
111. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the 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.
Apply silicone gasket and sealant at the crankshaft rear seal retainer plate-to-cylinder block sealing surface.
112. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the 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.
Apply silicone gasket and sealant at the engine front cover-to-cylinder block sealing surface.
113. Install the oil pan gasket and the oil pan and loosely install the 16 bolts.
114. Tighten the 16 bolts in 3 stages, in the sequence shown.
^ Stage 1: Tighten to 2 Nm (18 lb-in).
^ Stage 2: Tighten to 20 Nm (15 lb-ft).
^ Stage 3: Tighten an additional 60 degrees.
115. NOTE: Lubricate the inner lip of the crankshaft rear seal with clean engine oil.
Using the special tools, install a new crankshaft rear seal.
116. Using the special tools, install the crankshaft rear oil slinger.
117. Install the spacer plate.
118. Position the flexplate and install the bolts in the sequence shown.
^ Tighten to 80 Nm (59 lb-ft).
