1. Apply liquid gasket to the mating surface of front camshaft cap RH, intake rear camshaft cap RH and exhaust rear camshaft cap RH as shown in the figure.
   CAUTION:

   • Do not apply liquid gasket excessively. Applying excessively may cause excess gasket to flow toward camshaft journal, resulting in engine seizure.
   • Do not apply liquid gasket excessively to the intake center camshaft cap RH and exhaust center camshaft cap RH.
   NOTE:

   • Before applying liquid gasket, degrease the old liquid gasket seal surface of the front camshaft cap RH, intake rear camshaft cap RH, exhaust rear camshaft cap RH, and cam carrier RH.
   • Install within 5 min. after applying liquid gasket.

   Liquid gasket: 

   THREE BOND 1217G (Part No. 0877Y0100) or equivalent
