Cylinder Front Cover

Tools Required:

• Front Cover Alignment Tool T74P-6019-B
• Cam and Auxiliary Shaft Seal Replacer T74P-6150-A
• Front Cover Seal Remover T74P-6700-B

The front seal has been designed so that it is not necessary to remove the cylinder front cover with the engine in the chassis.

When disassembling the engine, remove the front seal from the cover while the cover is still on the engine, using Front Cover Seal Remover T74P-6700-B.

When assembling the engine, install the cover on the engine without the seal and then use Cam and Auxiliary Shaft Seal Replacer T74P-6150-A to press the seal into place. This will avoid damage to the seal.

Before final adjustment of the cover into position and tightening the retaining bolts, use Front Cover Alignment Tool T74P-6019-B as shown, to position the cover in relation to the crankshaft. Tighten the bolts to 8-12 Nm (6-9 lb-ft) with this tool in place. This will ensure that the timing belt does not interfere with the front cover during operation.
