Thoroughly clean the cylinder block and the bearing
cap surfaces (A). Degrease using a cloth soaked in
diluted cleaning agent.

blocks. Do not obstruct these oil grooves when
applying RHODORSEAL 5661.

The bearing caps have watertight grooves (C).
Following modifications to the bearing caps:

on the crankshaft bearing.
