# REAR MAIN BEARING CAP REVISED DESIGN

THE REAR MAIN BEARING CAP ON THE 1981 60F V-6 ENGINES HAS BEEN RE-DESIGNED. THE GROOVE FOR THE OIL PAN SEAL HAS BEEN ELIMINATED. IF THE SUBJECT BEARING CAP IS INSTALLED, A NEW OIL PAN (P/N 14024259) MUST BE USED AS THE PREVIOUS MODEL PANS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE IN THIS AREA. WHEN INSTALLING THE NEW OIL PAN, APPLY A 2.0MM BEAD OF SEALANT AROUND THE ENTIRE OIL PAN FLANGE AND INSTALL ATTACHING BOLTS.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
