Crankshaft Cover Installation, Continued:
1. Clean the gasket surfaces on the crankcase cover to fit a new gasket during installation and inspect the
oil seal for wear and damage.
2. Install crankcase cover. Using HANDS ONLY, seat cover completely against the crankcase. If the cover
will not seat, the camshaft is not installed correctly.
3. Install and finger tighten evenly the eight cover mounting bolts (Figure 13-104, Page 13-47).
4. Tighten the cover mounting bolts in two steps. First, in the sequence shown, tighten all eight bolts to
approximately 130 in-lb (14 N·m). Then, repeating the sequence, tighten them to 250 in-lb (28.2 N·m)
(Figure 13-104, Page 13-47).
