REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
Front Cover Removal
[211 RP]
For early-production engines equipped with
studs, it is not recommended to remove the front
cover without first removing the oil pan. Doing so
may result in damage to the isolating oil pan
gasket. Current-production engines use shoulder
bolts in the front cover positions making removal
of the oil pan not necessary.
Refer to Figure 111.
1. Remove front engine mount pedestal (2) by
removing six retaining capscrews (3 and 4).
2. Remove remaining mounting capscrews
from front cover (1).
3. Remove front cover. It will be necessary to
pry the cover from the engine block. Be
careful not to damage cover or block while
using sharp tools around machined
surfaces.
