Second Generation XM (2011-2024) / Kia Sorento XM 2011-2024 Service Manual / Engine Mechanical System / Timing System / Timing Chain Cover Installation

1.
Install the timing chain cover.
(1)
Using a gasket scraper, remove all the old packing material from the gasket surfaces.
(2)
The sealant locations on chain cover and on counter parts (cylinder head, cylinder block, and ladder frame) must be free of engine oil and etc.
(3)
Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent should be applied on the gap between cylinder head and cylinder block. The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied.

Bead width: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)

(4)
After applying liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent on the timing chain cover.
The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path of oil leakage.

Bead width: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)

(5)
The dowel pins on the cylinder block and holes on the timing chain cover should be used as a reference in order to assemble the timing chain cover to be in exact position.

•
Refill engine with engine oil.
•
Refill a transaxle with fluid.
•
Refill a radiator and a reservoir tank with engine coolant.
•
Clean battery posts and cable terminals and assemble.
•
Inspect for fuel leakage.
-
After assemble the fuel line, turn on the ignition switch (do not operate the starter) so that the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds and fuelline pressurizes.
-
Repeat this operation two or three times, then check for fuel leakage at any point in the fuel line.
