| Big end bearings | Renew bolts/nuts: Yes Lubricate threads and mating surfaces of bolts. Stage 1: 45 Nm Stage 2: 90° |
| Oil pump to cylinder block | 8 Nm + 90° (Use new nuts/bolts) |
| Sump bolts | Upper sump: Apply a 2,0-3,0 mm diameter bead of silicone sealant to cylinder block fig 1. Apply a 2,0-3,0 mm diameter bead of silicone sealant to upper sump fig 2. Assemble components within 5 minutes. Excess sealant can cause engine damage. Sump must be fitted with 18 bolts, even if only 14 bolts were removed. Use new bolts and tighten in the following stages fig 3: Version with aluminium bolts: 1-18 = 8 Nm 1-2 = 180° 3-13 = 45° 14-18 = 90° Version with steel and aluminium bolts: 1-13 (Steel bolts) = 15 Nm 14-18 (Aluminium bolts) = 8 Nm 1-18 = 90° Oil baffle plate must be renewed after removal. Oil baffle plate = 4 Nm + 45° (use new bolts) Timing chain cover bolts = 8 Nm + 45° (use new bolts) Lower sump Use new bolts and tighten in the following stages fig 4: Finger tighten. 8 Nm 90° ![]() |
