Hey.
I have some questions about the instructions in WIS, since this would be a pain to do again, I'd like to get it right first time, but some instructions are a bit unclear. I have also attached the said document to this post.
1. Pilot bushings - must not remain in cylinder block, yet under installation it says to replace them, meaning that I need to remove them from block and insert into timing case cover when installing? Would they be okay to reuse?
2. Tightening bottom screws first - as I understand I have to torque bolts from oil pan to spec first, then untighten them, insert centering sleeve, torque the timing cover bolts to spec and lastly torque the oil pan bolts to spec again? Wouldn't the fact that the timing cover moves after torquing the bottom bolts mess up the seal since the bottom bolts were already torqued down once?
3. Centering sleeve - Is it meant to be used with the front main seal in place or not? Since it says Install in the reverse order, then the first step would be to install the seal to the timing case cover. If with the seal, then would it be acceptable to just use the drive shaft pulley? Or is it meant to go in place of the seal and seal installed after.
4. Bolts replaced by steel screw/bolts - this is also quite confusing, as I can only see one part number for these bolts, which seems to be from aluminium. Would I need to replace only the timing cover or the oil pan bolts also with steel ones? Since they don't seem to be torque to yield bolts and only require 10nm torque it would seem to be okay to reuse, no?
If anyone has some input on these questions it would be much appreciated.
