Fully loosen the bolts.

13. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power,abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

Inspect the valve cover gasket and clean the mating surface of the cylinder head.

Installation

1. NOTE: If not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply a bead of silicone gasket and sealant in two places where the engine front cover meets the cylinder head.
