NOTE: Temporarily cap oil feed and oil drain
to protect your engine from foreign particles.

NOTE: The stock valve cover gaskets may
have small metal spacers that could become
dislodged from the gasket during removal.
Check carefully to ensure that they are all
accounted for.

NOTE: Removal of the bumper cover is not
required but will allow easier installation of
the water cooler/pump assembly.
