REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS INSTALLATION 1. Remove the rear crankshaft oil seal from the flywheel housing by drilling two 3-mm holes, 180 degrees apart, into the outer edge of the seal. Remove the seal with a slide hammer fitted with a No. 10 sheet metal screw. Thread it into each of the holes alternately and work the seal free.
4. Apply an even coat of Silastic® (approximately a 1/16-inch [2 mm] bead) to the flywheel housing mounting surface of the cylinder block. Refer to Figure 282. 282
2. Using standard shop cleaning procedures for aluminum, clean the seal mounting surface. 3. Insert the two dowel pins in the cylinder block if they were removed. Refer to Figure 281.
The flywheel housing dowels maintain the alignment of the flywheel housing on the engine. This is necessary to center the transmission with respect to the engine flywheel and crankshaft. 281
Figure 282 — Applying Sealant
5. Align the flywheel housing on the dowels and position it flush against the cylinder block surface. Refer to Figure 283. 283
Figure 283 — Positioning Flywheel Housing
6. Install the flywheel housing six internal mounting capscrews and tighten them finger-tight. Leave out the upper two external mounting capscrews, as they are installed later with the aftercooler bracket.
