compound, lubricants, corrosion inhibitors, or sealants are identified in the service procedure. Some replacement components may come with these
coatings already applied. Do not use these coatings on components unless specified. These coatings can affect the final torque, which may affect
the operation of the component. Use the correct torque specification when installing components in order to avoid damage.
