2 Pour any remaining oil intoyour drain the two 13mm oil pumpmounting bolts and pump. Keep onehand on the pump as you loosen andremove the second bolt to prevent itfrom possibly dropping on your 2 of The Oil Pump & Oil PanStep 4 Step 5 Step 6 Scrape and/or wipe clean themounting surfaces on the block andoil pan. If this is the first time the oilpan has ever been removed, theoriginal gasket and sealant will bestuck to the block (as seen in thephoto) and oil pan; all traces of theold gasket and sealant must clean the entire oil pumpmounting reusing the original oil pan, clean itfirst with a degreaser and let it you re at it, clean all of themounting bolts and the drain plug 7 Step 8 Step 9 Prime the new oil pump: Pour some ofyour new oil into the quart-sizedcontainer. Dip the pump s pickup intothe new oil and rotate the shaftclockwise by hand until oil spills out ofthe top of the the primed pump upright,install the new oil pump baffle (use yourold pump assembly as a reference; yourbaffle may differ from the one shown).

3 Install the new oil pump using thecleaned-up, old 13mm bolts; ifinstalling an upgraded larger oil pumpuse the new, longer mounting boltsyou bought at the same time as thepump. Torque the bolts to 20 10 Step 11 Step 12 Place a new washer onto the drainplug and install the drain plug into theoil pan/sump. Torque to 30 oil pan/sump gasket: If using arubber gasket, no sealant is needed(except for the bolt holes, but that is anoption, not a requirement); simply lay itin the correct position on top of thepan/sump. If using a new cork-stylegasket, place a few dabs of sealant ontothe block and seat the new gasket ontothe block; then, apply a 1/8-inch beadof RTV sealant to the oil pan/sumpmounting surface and inside the the pan/sump into position on theblock and re-install the 10mm bolts;hand-tighten onlyat this point!

Start at the bolts closest tothe center of the pan/sump and workout in a cross-hatch pattern. Do notover-tighten them or leaks will occur(this is especially true if using arubber gasket).Remove the old oil filter(counterclockwise as viewed frombelow).Wipe clean the oil filter 16 Step 17 Fill new oil filter with new a thin film of new oil around thefilter s new oil filter: Turn it by handuntil the gasket contacts the mountingflange, then turn it another turn totighten the crankcase with approx. 4quarts. Use the oil dipstick to check thelevel as you approach 4 the oil cap and run the enginefor 3-5 minutes, check for leaks, stopthe engine and recheck the oil level(add oil as needed).
