1.16.2.1 Inspection of Flywheel Housing and Rear Oil Seal Area of
Crankshaft
Inspect the flywheel housing as follows:
1. Inspect flywheel housing for cracks and any other damage.
[a] If sealing surface is damaged, repair with emery cloth.
[b] If cracked, repair is not possible.
2. Inspect the crankshaft where the rear oil seal makes contact.
[a] Check for groove in crankshaft.
[b] If crankshaft is grooved, install a wear sleeve over the crankshaft end. An oversized
I.D. rear oil seal must be used with the rear sleeve. Refer to section 1.8.5.
1.16.3 Installation of Flywheel Housing
Install the flywheel housing as follows:
1. Apply a continuous 1.6 mm (1/16 in.) bead, of Loctite 518 gasket eliminator, or
equivalent, to the cylinder block where it mates with the flywheel housing. See Figure
1-216.
Figure 1-216 Gasket Eliminator Installation
2. Thread two aligning studs, J 35785, into the cylinder block to guide the housing in place.
See Figure 1-215.
3. Support the housing and position it over the crankshaft and against the cylinder block.
NOTE:
Whenever crankshaft rear seal is put over the crankshaft, use crankshaft oil seal
expander. Refer to section 1.8.5.

4. Install all of the housing bolts in their proper location, finger-tight.
5. Remove the pilot studs.
6. Tighten the eight short and four long flywheel housing bolts to the cylinder block using
the proper tightening sequence. See Figure 1-217.
[a] If the bolts are 12mm, torque to 112-126 Nm (83-93 lbft).
[b] If the bolts are 14mm, torque to 160-200 Nm (118-148 lbft).

7. Install the crankshaft rear main oil seal. Refer to section 1.8.5.
8. Install the flywheel. Refer to section 1.14.3.
9. Install oil pan; refer to section 3.11.4, and refill the engine with new oil; refer to section

1.16.3.1 Test for Flywheel Housing Bore Concentricity
Check the flywheel housing bore concentricity, and bolting flange run-out with tool set, J 9737-
C, as follows:
1. Thread the base post, J 9737-3, into one of the tapped holes on the outer edge of the
flywheel.
2. Assemble the dial indicators on the base post with the attaching parts provided in the tool
set.
3. Position the dial indicators straight and square with the flywheel housing bell face and
inside bore of the bell. Make sure each indicator has adequate travel in each direction.
See Figure 1-218.

Run-out
4. Tap the end of the crankshaft (not the crankshaft pulley) with a soft hammer to force it
toward one end of the block to ensure end play is in one direction only.
5. Adjust each dial indicator to read zero at the twelve o'clock position.

6. Bar the engine to rotate the crankshaft one complete revolution, taking readings at 90
intervals (4 readings each for the bore and bolting flange face). See Figure 1-219.
Figure 1-219 Flywheel Housing
7. Remove the wrench or cranking bar before recording each reading to ensure accuracy.
[a] The maximum total indicator reading must not exceed 0.33 mm (.013 in.) for either
the bore or the face.
[b] If the run-out exceeds the maximum limits, remove the flywheel and flywheel
housing and check for dirt or foreign material between the flywheel housing and the
cylinder block or oil pan.
8. Clean the mating surfaces once again. Refer to section General Information, Cleaning
in the beginning of this manual.
9. Install flywheel housing. Tighten the eight short and four long bolts to the cylinder block
using the proper tightening sequence. See Figure 1-217.
[a] If the bolts are 12mm, torque to 112-126 Nm (83-93 lbft).
[b] If the bolts are 14mm, torque to 160-200 Nm (118-148 lbft).
10. Install the flywheel. Refer to section 1.14.3.
11. Check the run-out again. If desired run-out cannot be accomplished, replace the flywheel
housing.
