Assembling Components

• When assembling components, use only the sealant specified or equivalent in the service procedure.
• Sealing surfaces must be clean and free of debris or oil.
• Specific components such as crankshaft oil seals or valve stem oil seals may require lubrication during assembly.
• Components requiring lubrication will be identified in the service procedure.
• Apply only the amount of sealant specified in the service procedure to a component.
• Do not allow the sealant to enter into any blind threaded holes, as the sealant may prevent the fastener from clamping properly or cause component damage when tightened.
• IMPORTANT: Do not overtighten the fasteners.

Tighten the fasteners to the proper specifications.
