5.	Disconnect the air breather hose(A) from the valve body cover.

Remove the valve body cover (A).

Tightening torque :

11.8 ~ 13.7 N.m (1.2 ~ 1.4 kgf.m, 8.7 ~ 10.1 lb-ft)

•	Replace the gasket (B) before reinstalling the valve body cover.

•	After the installation, start the engine and then check if there are any leakages from the valve body cover.

Disconnect the oil temperature sensor (A) and solenoid valve connector (B) from the valve body.

Tightening torque :

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)

•	Check connector for looseness, poor connection, bending, corrosion, contamination, deterioration, or damage before reinstalling the solenoid valve connector.

Remove the solenoid valve support bracket (B) and the valve body mounting bolt (A-1ea).

Tightening torque :

9.8 ~ 11.8 N.m (1.0 ~ 1.2 kgf.m, 7.2 ~ 8.7 lb-ft)
