Before applying the new gasket, thoroughly clean its seating area, both on the cylinder head side and under the cover itself: cleaning is very important to ensure perfect adhesion and sealing of the gaskets. Once cleaning is complete, insert the gaskets into the grooves along the edges of the covers, then position them on the cylinder head (without applying gasket sealant) and tighten the fixing bolts in a criss-cross pattern using a torque wrench to ensure even gasket adhesion.

After installation, check for any leaks.
