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 the silicone gasket and sealant along the cylinder head- to-cylinder block surface and the
oil pan- to-cylinder block surface. Klj . 10 ba
