Installation
Clean the bonded surfaces with DECAPJOINT to dissolve adhering gasket residue.

Attention! Mounting surfaces must be clean, dry and oily (leave no fingerprints).
If too much sealant is applied, then when the fastening bolts are tightened, its excess will be squeezed out. The ingress of sealant into working fluids can lead to damage to some components and assemblies (engine, radiator, etc.).
Apply four dots of silicone sealant with a diameter of 5 mm, in the places indicated by the lines in the figure.
Apply two drops of silicone sealant with a diameter of 7 mm to the mating of the front cover with the cylinder block.
Install the oil separator on the cylinder block.
When installing the engine crankcase pan, check that the oil separator tongues fit into the slots in the pan.
The planes of the cylinder block and the sump on the flywheel side are aligned to prevent deformation of the clutch housing.
Install the engine oil pan with a new gasket.
Install the engine sump bolts without tightening them.
