  4. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08717-0004,08718-0003, or 08718-0009) to the engine block mating surface of the oil pan and to the inside edge of the bolt holes. Install the component within 5 minutes of applying the liquid gasket.
    NOTE:
    • Apply a 2.5 mm (0.098 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (A).
    • Apply a 5.0 mm (0.20 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket to the shaded area (B).
    • Apply a 3.0 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of liquid gasket along the broken line (C).
    • If you apply liquid gasket P/N 08718-0012, the component must be installed within 4 minutes.
    • If too much time has passed after applying the liquid gasket, remove the old liquid gasket and residue, then reapply new liquid gasket.
