13. Apply liquid gasket, P/N 08717-0004, 08718-0003, or 08718-0009 to the cylinder head and the engine block mating surface of the chain case, and to the inside edge of the threaded bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.

NOTE:

- Apply a 1.5 mm (0.059 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken lines (A).
- Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the engine block upper surface mating areas (B) on the chain case.
