Liquid Gasket Application Procedure NAEM0002
1. Use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket
from mating surfaces and grooves. Also, completely clean TF
any oil from these areas.
2. Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating sur-
faces. (Use Genuine RTV silicone sealant or equivalent. PD
Refer to GI-53.)
I Be sure liquid gasket diameter is as specified. AX
SEM164F SU
3. Apply liquid gasket around the inner side of bolt holes
(unless otherwise specified).
4. Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating. BR
