INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES:

 THE GASKET SURFACES MUST BE CLEAN AND DRY

1.         Remove the valve cover and gasket in accordance with the Franklin procedure 

            or in accordance with an acceptable  procedure used by the shop performing 

            the installation.

 2.       Clean the valve cover and the cylinder surfaces of all residual material.   

           This also includes the threaded holes in cylinder.

 3.       Install gaskets,  DRY.

 4.       Replace the valve cover and torque the cover bolts to 25 in-lbs. **

 5.        Check the cover bolt torque after an engine run-up  to take off power or first flight 

            and re-torque the bolts to 20 in-lbs.

 6.       Check the cover bolt torque annually, and re-torque to 20 in-lbs, if necessary.

                                   **CAUTION**     DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!  

                    It makes the gasket bulge out or squeeze out which will cause a leak. 

                    If you over tighten then back off on the torque.

 TO REUSE THE GASKET:   

1.    Wash gasket briefly in hot soapy water.
2.    Rinse well and dry thoroughly.
3.    Re-install using the above installation instructions.
