2008 July 14: Engine assembly (0.50 hours)

Updated: 

  • Installed the transmission oil pump in the timing cover using a new seal and o-ring. Torqued the retaining bolts.
  • The transmission oil pump drive gear is in good, reusable condition, so I am reusing it.
  • Installed the timing cover using a new seal and gasket. Fit all new stainless fasteners coated with anti-seize and torqued in place. Gasket was fully greased except for bottom part (up to the first holes on each side) to which Permatex Super 300 Form-A-Gasket Sealant was applied.
