2. After removing the pump cover, the bottom surface looks like shown (see illustration). Remove bolts (1) and (2). Note that bolts for different engines are not the same and have different tightening torques, i.e. either mark the bolts accordingly or follow Illustration 26.3 when installing the plate.
26.2 Bolts (1) and (2) secure the thrust plate to the lower surface of the crankcase. Bolts (2) come out together with the plate
3. The three bolts marked (2) are removed together with the thrust plate. Remove the sealing gasket. Clean the oil pan and cylinder block surface thoroughly and install a new gasket, lubricated with a small amount of sealant, on the lower surface of the crankcase. Now install the thrust plate (including oil pump, pump rotors and oil pump cover) (see illustration).
26.3 Position of the bolts for the four different types of fastening of the thrust plate to the lower surface of the crankcase. Dimensions and tightening torques will be specified below
4. Insert only suitable bolts and tighten them to the specified torque:
a) Bolts marked with black dots (17 pcs., M7) tighten to a torque of 12-18 Nm.
b) Bolts marked with circles (21 pcs., M6) tighten to a torque of 7-11 Nm.
c) The bolt marked with a black triangle (1 pc., M10) tighten to a torque of 32-48 Nm.
d) Bolts marked with white triangles (9 pcs., M10) tighten to a torque of 32-48 Nm.
