D

Carefully remove any oil from the cylinder body and
the pump. Apply sealant (TB–1207B or equivalent)
to the pump fitting face as shown in illustration. Take
care that sealant is not applied to oil port surfaces.
The oil pump assembly must be installed within 5
minutes after sealant application to prevent
premature hardening of sealant.

CAUTION: Do not apply an excessive amount of
sealant to the contact surface. Applying too much
sealant will overflow the contact surfaces. This
could cause serious damage to the engine.
