Hi,
I am planning to replace the timing chain, guides and tensioner. I never used gasket sealant as a gasket in my life. The manual says use a thickness of between 3.5 mm to 4.5 mm. does it sound right? What I am worried about is that if I use a lot the sealant squeezes inside the timing cover and clog oil passages and/or radiator. in the other hand if I do not use enough, it will be leaks. what is the right way to use sealant?
