CAUTION: Whenever any crankshaft o. connecting rod
bearing is replaced, it is necessary after reassembly to
run the engine at idling speed until it reaches normal
opelating temperature, then continue to run it tor
approximalely 15 minutes.
Apply non-hardening liquid gasket to the block mat-
ing surface of the right side cover, and install it on
the cylinder block.
NOTEI
. Use liquid gasket, Part No. 08718 - 0001 or 08718- 0003,
. Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
. Apply liquid gasket as an even bead, centered
between the edges of the mating surface.
. To prevent leakage of oil, apply liquid gasket to
the inner threads of the bolt holes.
. Do not install the parts if 5 minutes or more have
elapsed since applying the liquid gasket. Instead,
reapply liquid gasket after removing the old
residue.
After assembly, wait at least 30 minutes betore
filling the engine with oil.

Inspection
Park the vehicle on level ground, and turn ofl the
engine. Allow the oil a few minutes to drain back
into the oil pan so the dipstick will show the actual
tevet,
Make certain that the oil level indicated on the dip-
stick is between the upper and lower marks.
lf the level has dropped close to the lower mark,
add oil until it reaches the upper mark.
CAUTION: Insert the dipstick caretully to avoid
bending it.

8-8
Eight numbers (1 to 8) are printed on the surlace ol
the filter.
The lollowing explains the procedure for tightening
filters using these numbers.
1) Make a mark on the engine oil cooler (818c5
engine) or cylinder block (8188'1, 818C1 engines)
under the number that shows at the bottom of
the filter when the rubber seal is seated.
2) Tighten the filter by turning it clockwise seven
numbers Irom the marked point. For example, if a
mark is made under the number 2 when the rub
ber seal is seated, the filter should be tightened
until the number 1 comes up to the marked point

5. After installation, fill the engine with oil up to the
specilied level, run the engine for more than 3 min-
utes, then check for oil leakage and oil level.
CAUTION: Installation using other than the above
procedure could result in serious engine damage
duo to oil leakage.
