Installation
1. NOTE: The timing chain is removed for clarity.
NOTE: If not secured within four minutes, sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until
there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant along the cylinder head to block surface and the oil pan to block surface.
2. Install a new engine front cover gasket on the engine front cover, then position the engine front cover on the front cover to cylinder block dowels.
