Liquid Gasket Application Procedure
1. Use a scraper to remove old liquid gasket from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean any oil from these areas.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces. Use Genuine Liquid Gasket, or equivalent.
NOTE:
- For the oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 3.5 - 4.5 mm (0.138 - 0.177 inch).
- For areas except the oil pan, be sure liquid gasket diameter is 2.0 - 3.0 mm (0.079 - 0.118 inch).
3. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes, unless otherwise specified.
4. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.
5. Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine coolant.
