Installing the kit with the transmission case separated from the engine is the preferred approach since the seal between the oil suction pipe flange and the transmission case can be seen as well as that between the adapt plate and the case. If, however, installation with the transmission joined to the engine is attempted remove the original bolts one at a time replacing each removed bolt immediately with an adapter retaining flat head screw. If both the original bolts are removed before new ones are installed the oil suction pipe may shift making engagement of the new screws difficult if not impossible. Use a good quality gasket sealant when installing the adapter plate.

       The magnetic plug should be removed and cleaned when changing oil. Make sure the plug metal gasket is in good condition before reinstalling plug. Replace if questionable
