2. Be careful to use the specified amount of liquid 

gasket.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times.

3. Be absolutely sure to remove all lubricants and 

moisture from the connecting surfaces before 
applying the liquid gasket.
The connecting surfaces must be perfectly dry.

4. Do not apply LOCTITE 17430, LOCTITE 515 and 

LOCTITE 518 between two metal  surfaces having a
