1. Completely remove the liquid gasket adhering to the timing chain case, the cylinder block and the cylinder head.
2. Completely remove the sealant remaining on the 3-plane contact surface among the cylinder head, the cylinder block and the gasket. Carry out the degreasing CAUTION: Install the timing chain case within three minutes after applying the liquid gasket.
3. Apply liquid gasket (Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent) of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) in thickness to the timing chain case. For illustrated A locations in figure, however, apply liquid gasket of 4.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.18 ± 0.02 inch) in diameter or liquid gasket of 2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) by putting one on top of another as shown in the illustration.
4. The engine oil staying at the cylinder gasket oozes to the 3-plane contact surface described in Step 2 and 3 . Swiftly apply the liquid gasket to this area after degreasing. Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent
5. Tighten timing chain case mounting bolts to the specified tightening torque. Tightening torque A: 24 ± 4 N.m (18 ± 2 ft-lb) B: 10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb) C: 10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb) D: 13 ± 1 N.m (115 ± 8 in-lb)

1. Apply engine oil to the internal circumference of the oil seal.
2. Use special tool MB991448 to install the front oil seal on the timing chain case.

Scheme 394

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder block and oil pan.
2. Degrease the cylinder block and oil pan. CAUTION: Install the oil pan within three minutes after liquid gasket is applied.
3. Apply liquid gasket of ø2.5 ± 0.5 mm (0.10 ± 0.02 inch) of thickness in diameter to the illustrated area of the oil pan shown in figure. Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent
4. Tighten the oil pan to the specified tightening torque. Tightening torque: M6:10 ± 2 N.m (89 ± 17 in-lb) M8: 29 ± 2 N.m (21 ± 1 ft-lb)

Scheme 396

1. Completely remove liquid gasket adhering to the cylinder head cover, timing chain case and cylinder head.
2. Degrease the cylinder head cover, timing chain case and cylinder head. CAUTION: Install the cylinder head cover immediately after liquid gasket is applied.
3. Appropriately use a minimum amount of sealant. Be careful not to allow sealant to squeeze out from the application area. Apply liquid gasket of 4 mm (0.15 inch) of thickness in diameter. Specified sealant: Three bond 1217G or exact equivalent
4. Tighten the cylinder head cover to the tightening torque in the order shown in the illustration. Tightening torque: 3.0 ± 1.0 N.m (27 ± 8 in-lb)
5. Then, tighten it to the specified tightening torque in the same order. Tightening torque: 5.5 ± 0.5 N.m (49 ± 4 in-lb)

Scheme 397

1. Clean the oil filter mounting surface of the ladder frame.
2. Apply engine oil to the O-ring of the oil filter. CAUTION: Use special tool MB991396 to install the oil filter. Tightening it by hand causes oil leakage due to lack of torque.
3. Screw in the oil filter. When the O-ring contacts the mounting surface, use a filter wrench to tighten it Specified torque: 3/4 turn (14 ± 2 N.m [124 ± 17 in-lb]).

1. Insert a flatblade screwdriver into the release hole of the timing chain tensioner to release the latch.
2. Push the tensioner lever by hand and push in the plunger of the timing chain tensioner until it hits the bottom. Then, insert a hard wire (piano wire or the like) of ø1.5 or hexagonal bar wrench (1.5 mm [0.05 inch]) into the fixing hole of the plunger.
3. Remove the timing chain tensioner.
