Sump - refit

1. Remove all traces of old sealant from mating

faces of cylinder block and sump; ensure bolt
holes are clean and dry.

CAUTION: Use a plastic scraper.

NOTE: Sump fitted to engines with suffix B
engine numbers illustrated.

2. Clean mating faces with suitable solvent. Apply

a bead of sealant, Part number STC 50550 to
sump joint face as shown:
Bead width - areas A, B, C and D = 12 mm (0.5
in)
Bead width - remaining areas = 5 mm (0.20 in)
Bead length - areas A and B = 32 mm (1.23 in)
Bead length - areas C and D = 19 mm (0.75 in)

applying sealant.

bead.

’handed’, fit tool LRT-12-183 to the engine
backplate using slave bolts.

5. Secure the tool to the sump using the bolts

which are part of the tool.

NOTE: The holes in the tool are larger than
the diameter of the bolts in order to allow
the sump to move as the sump bolts are

tightened.

tighten progressively to 23 Nm (17 lbf.ft).
