Assembling Components

^ Assemble components using only the sealant (or equivalent) that is specified in the service procedure.
^ Sealing surfaces must be clean and free of debris or oil.
^ Specific components such as crankshaft oil seals or valve stem oil seals may require lubrication during assembly.
^ Components requiring lubrication will be identified in the service procedure.
^ Apply only the amount of sealant specified in the service procedure to a component.
^ Do not allow the sealant to enter into any blind threaded holes, as the sealant may prevent the fastener from clamping properly or cause component damage when tightened.
^ Tighten fasteners to the proper specifications. DO NOT overtighten the fasteners.
