• If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the
liquid gasket to the groove.
• As for the bolt holes, normally apply the liquid gasket inside the holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the text of this manual.
• Within five minutes of the liquid gasket application, install the mating component.
• If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
• Do not retighten after the installation.
• After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill the engine with the specified oil and coolant. Refer to MA-11,
"FOR USA AND CANADA : Fluids and Lubricants".
