return galleries.
Failure to follow this advice could lead to the
blocking of the various oil inlet galleries, which
would quickly result in engine damage.

The gasket faces on the rocker cover must be
clean, dry and free from grease (avoid finger
marks).
WARNING
Applying excess sealant could cause it to be
squeezed out when parts are tightened. A mix-
ture of sealant and fluid could damage certain
components (engine, radiator, etc.)

head cover.
