Installing Front Lid Seal

Information

Before replacing, check the existing seal for signs of damage (areas torn, crushed, etc.). If there are signs of damage, the seal must be replaced.
The seal is pressed onto the flange without any additional sealants.
During installation, the seal must not come into contact with hot engine components or adjacent units. This can cause damage to the seal.
