Installation
Clean the mating surfaces with DECAPJOINT to dissolve any adhering gasket residue.
Apply the composition to the surface to be cleaned, wait about ten minutes, then remove the excess with a wooden spatula.
Attention! The mating surfaces must be clean, dry and not oily (do not leave fingerprints).
If you apply too much sealant, the excess will be squeezed out when tightening the mounting bolts. Sealant getting into working fluids can cause damage to some components and assemblies (engine, radiator, etc.).
Apply four dots of silicone sealant, 5 mm in diameter, to the places indicated by the lines in the figure.
Apply two drops of 7 mm diameter silicone sealant to the joint between the front cover and the cylinder block.
