Liquid gasket bead width differs by engine family: SR 4.0-5.0 mm vs GA/E/CD 3.5-4.5 mm for the oil pan.

Liquid Gasket Application Procedure

  1. a
    Before applying liquid gasket, use a scraper to remove all traces of old liquid gasket from mating surface.
  2. b
    Apply a continuous bead of liquid gasket to mating surfaces. (Use Genuine Liquid Gasket or equivalent.)
    Be sure liquid gasket is specified width (for oil pan). SR: 4.0 to 5.0 mm (0.157 to 0.197 in). GA, E, CD: 3.5 to 4.5 mm (0.138 to 0.177 in).
    Be sure liquid gasket is 2.0 to 3.0 mm (0.079 to 0.118 in) wide (in areas except oil pan).
  3. c
    Apply liquid gasket to inner sealing surface around hole perimeter area. (Assembly should be done within 5 minutes after coating.)
    Cross-section illustration showing the correct application of a liquid gasket bead. Two sectional profiles of a mating surface flange are shown: the left labeled 'Groove' with a bead of gasket over a recessed groove, and the right labeled 'Bolt hole' with a bead routed around a bolt hole. A solid arrow on the right points toward the 'Inner side', indicating which side faces inward when applying the gasket around hole perimeters.
