  1. Apply liquid gasket (P/N 08C70-K0234M, 08C70-K0334M, or 08C70-X0331S) to the cylinder head mating surface of the No. 5 rocker shaft holder.
    NOTE:
    • Apply liquid gasket about 3 mm (0.12 in.) diameter bead along the broken line (A).
    • Do not install components if 5 minutes or more have passed after applying the liquid gasket. Instead, remove the old residue and reapply the liquid gasket.
