PRECAUTIONS

Precaution for Liquid Gasket

INFOID:0000000001062305

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET

• After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating

surface using a seal cutter and remove the liquid gasket.

CAUTION:

Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

• In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to

lightly tap the gasket applied area.

CAUTION:

If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed
screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating sur-
faces.

LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE

1.

Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the
gasket application surface and the mating surface.
• Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the

gasket application surface, mounting bolts and bolt holes.

2.

Wipe the gasket application surface and the mating surface with
white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering
moisture, grease and foreign materials.

3.

Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.

4.

Apply the gasket without breaks to the specified location with the
specified dimensions.
• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the

gasket to the groove.

• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the gasket inside the

holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes. Make
sure to read the manual in this instruction.

• Within five minutes of gasket application, install the mating

component.

• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill

the engine oil and coolant.

CAUTION:

If there are manuals in this instruction, observe them.

Inspection

INFOID:0000000001062307

OIL LEVEL AND MUDDINESS

• Before starting the engine, check the oil level placing vehicle hori-

zontally. If the engine is already started, stop it and allow 10 min-
utes before checking.

• Make sure the oil level is within the range shown in the figure.
• If it is out of range, adjust it.
• Check the oil for white turbidity or remarkable contamination.
• If the oil becomes turbid and white, it is highly probable that it is

contaminated with coolant. Find the cause and repair.

OIL LEAKAGE

Check for oil leakage around the following area.
• Oil pan
• Oil pan drain plug
• Oil pressure switch
• Oil filter bracket
• Vacuum pump
• Oil pump housing
• Mating surface between cylinder block and cylinder head
• Mating surface between cylinder head and rocker cover
• Oil cooler
• Crankshaft oil seals

OIL PRESSURE CHECK

WARNING:

• Be careful not to burn yourself, as the engine oil is hot.
• Oil pressure check should be done in Neutral “N” position.

1.

Check the oil level.

2.

Remove engine undercover.

3.

Remove the oil pressure switch to connect the oil pressure
gauge [SST: KV113E0020 (Mot. 836-05)].

4.

After warming up the engine, make sure oil pressure corre-
sponding to the engine speed is produced.

5.

After checking, install the oil pressure switch as follows.

a.

Remove old sealant adhering to the switch and engine.

b.

Apply thread sealant.
Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.

6.

Start engine and check for oil leakage.

• Be sure to clean drain plug and install with new washer.
• The refill capacity depends on the oil temperature and drain time. Use these specifications for ref-

erence only.
Always use the dipstick to the determine when the proper amount of oil is in the engine.

2.

Warm up engine and check area around drain plug and oil filter for oil leakage.

3.
