Clean the left rear, right rear and back, if possible,(see Illustration 2) of the block to head joint area on the engine using4C4079 Cleaner. A small brass/wire brush may be needed to remove excessiveamounts of oil/dirt build-up. Be sure no oil is left on the surfaces. Use(black) Scothbrite pad to remove as much paint as possible.
If you can not use the 4C4079 Cleaner(9U6346 Pump Spray), use a brake cleaner that does not leave an oil residue.
After the surfaces has been thoroughly cleaned,spray a light coat of the 4C4079 Cleaner on them and allow to dry completely(approximately 5 minutes). When applying the epoxy adhesive with a 1439510Epoxy Applicator, it is recommended to have a 5/16 inch bead. To achievethis, first cut the end of the mixer nozzle to increase the orifice size(See Illustration 1). Using a 2 1/2 inch length of 5/16 inch inside diameterclear vinyl hose (cut one end square and the other at 45 degrees), attachthe square end to the mixer nozzle.
Place the tapered end of the hose flat againstthe spacer plate to block joint and carefully squeeze the trigger of the1439510 Epoxy Applicator and apply a consistent bead of epoxy on the outsideof the joint (See Illustration 2). Apply a second bead right above thefirst bead which will cover the head gasket joint on the
