If equipped with a gasket, install a new one; if not, apply a continuous 3/32-inch bead of anaerobic sealant to both mating surfaces of the front cover, avoiding the cover-to-block mating surface where it engages the oil pan lip, and also apply sealant to the areas surrounding the coolant passages. Apply a 3/8-inch bead of RTV sealant to the cover-to-oil pan sealing surface. Position the front cover on the engine block and install the mounting bolts, tightening them to the specified torque. The remaining installation procedures follow the reverse order of removal.
