  1. Apply instant gel adhesive completely around the gasket groove in the valve cover. Install the new valve cover gasket.
    2. NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
  2. Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant in 2 places where the engine front cover meets the cylinder head.
