• Depending on location:
  • Sealant and gaskets, or both, should be applied to specified locations. When sealant is applied, parts should be installed before sealant hardens to prevent leakage.
  • Oil should be applied to the moving components of parts.
  • Specified oil or grease should be applied at the prescribed locations (such as oil seals) before reassembly.
