Before mounting the cylinder heads, apply sealant around the timing case cover on the cylinder crankcase.
The sealing surface must be cleaned. Sealant should be applied only to the specified surface, in the form of a bead 2.0 mm (±0.5 mm) in height and width (See illustration below).
The sealant remains workable for 10 min.
The bead should not be spread.
