NOTE: The block stiffener plate must be installed so 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 can 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 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.
Install the block stiffener plate mounting capscrews.
