19. Clean and dry the No. 5 bearing cap mating surfaces.






20. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0001, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the engine block mating surface of the No. 5 bearing cap. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
NOTE:

- Apply liquid gasket about 2.5 mm (0.098 in.) diameter bead along the broken line (A).

- If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.

- If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.

21. Put the bearing cap bridge on the engine block.

22. Apply engine oil to the threads and the flange of the bearing cap bolts.






23. Tighten the bearing cap bolts in sequence to 25 N-m (2.5 kgf-m, 18 lbf-ft).






24. Tighten the bearing cap bolts an additional 40 °.

25. Clean the excess liquid gasket off the engine block.






26. Use the special tools to drive a new oil seal squarely into the block to the specified installed height.
