DIRECTIONS FOR RTV APPLICATION

1. Surface must be clean and dry. Remove all traces of oil and old gasket material. Clean with a chlorinated solvent such as carburetor spray cleaner. Don’t use petroleum cleaners such as mineral spirits. They leave a film which R.T.V. won’t stick to.
2. Cut the tube extension to approximately 1/8″.
3. Apply R.T.V. (1052734 or 1052915) to one of the clean surfaces. Circle all bolt holes.
4. Assemble while R.T.V. is still wet. Don’t wait for R.T.V. to skin over (within 3 minutes).
5. Torque bolts to 10 N-m (7 Ft. Lbs.) except the 2 rear bolts (2 rear bolts 22 N-m 16 Ft. Lbs.). Don’t over torque.
6. R.T.V. will skin over in 15 minutes, which is sufficient to allow for testing and operation of vehicle. No need to wait for the R.T.V. to cure.
