Valve Cover - RH: Installation

All vehicles 

    NOTE: If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep and silicone gasket remover. Follow the directions on the packaging. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
  1. Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant in 2 places where the engine front cover meets the cylinder head.
