NOTE: The engine front cover must be installed and all fasteners final tightened within 5 minutes of applying the sealer. If this cannot be accomplished, install the engine front cover and tighten fasteners 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) within 5 minutes of applying the sealer. All of the fasteners must then be final tightened within 1 hour of applying the sealer. If this time limit is exceeded, all sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply a 15 mm (0.59 in) diameter drop of silicone gasket and sealant to the valve cover-to-camshaft carrier joints, camshaft carrier-to-cylinder head joints, the cylinder head-to-cylinder block joints and the oil pan-to-cylinder block joints.
