• Check that the mating surfaces are clean and dry
before applying liquid gasket.
• Apply liquid gasket evenly, in a narrow bead cen-
tered on the mating surface.
• Do not apply liquid gasket to the O-ring grooves.
• To prevent leakage, apply liquid gasket to the
inner threads of the bolt holes.
• Do not install the parts if five minutes or more
have elapsed since applying liquid gasket.
Instead, reapply liquid gasket after removing old
residue.
