001-089 Block Stiffener Plate

Install

NOTE: The block stiffener

plate must be installed so
that the center ribs are
bent away from the block,
to ensure proper
clearance from the block
main caps.

NOTE: For some oil

pan/oil suction tube
configurations, one of the
block stiffener mounting
capscrews may be
different than the rest.
This capscrew, with a
lower head profile, should
be installed in the opening
adjacent to the oil suction
tube mounting location.
The low profile capscrew
ensures in some
applications that there is
sufficient clearance
between the oil suction
tube and the block
stiffener mounting
capscrew.

Install the block stiffener

plate so that the exterior
portion of the block stiffener
plate with the recess is next
to the oil suction tube
mounting location at the
front of the engine.
