(3)
Before assembling the timing chain cover, liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent should be applied on the gap between cylinder head and cylinder block. The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied.
Bead width: 3.0 mm (0.12 in.)

(4)
After applying liquid sealant Loctite 5900H or equivalent on the timing chain cover.
The part must be assembled within 5 minutes after sealant was applied. Continuous bead of sealant should be applied to prevent any path of oil leakage.
