the gear case/oil pan mating face. Ensure the brush is not caught in the RTV at the 90

4. Ensure block rail and oil pan rail are in a parallel plane. This can be achieved by using
two telescope jacks, one forward and one aft of the pan.
5. Using the jacks, slowly raise the pan to the block while keeping the rear of the oil pan
against the flywheel housing (at least two people are recommended for this job).
6. Keep checking to ensure the strip seal corners do not rub against the gear case.
7. When the pan rail is in position, start all oil pan rail bolts.
8. Pull up as necessary on the five oil pan bolts closest to the gear case on the left and right
bank until the bolts through the gear case and oil pan can be started.
9. Torque the gear case oil pan bolts to 65 N·m using an alternating torque sequence
(torque upper most “A” bank and then upper most “B” bank, then torque the remaining
gearcase/oil pan bolts in the same sequence.
10. Torque the first oil pan rail bolt closest to the gear case on the left and right bank to 60 N·m.
11. Torque the remaining four M10 X 60 bolts on each side to 60 N·m.
12. Torque all the remaining bolts (M10 X 90 bolt with long spacers) to 30 N·m in any
sequence.
