Engine Front Cover Assembly Note

1. Apply silicone sealant to the engine front cover as shown.

  Caution
  • Install the engine front cover before the applied silicone sealant starts to harden.
  • Completely remove any oil, dirt, sealant, or other foreign matter adhering to the engine front cover and engine front cover installation surface. If any oil, dirt, sealant, or other foreign matter is not removed from the space between the engine front cover and engine front cover installation surface, it may cause a sealing malfunction.
