Installation & Maintenance Tips Use the Correct Gasket: This kit is supplied with a new base gasket and O-ring. Ensure the mounting surface on the generator or alternator stand is clean and free of old gasket material before installation.

Proper Vent Routing: When installing the breather hose, ensure the line has no kinks and is routed away from the drive belt and cooling fan. A well-vented engine helps prevent oil leaks from building pressure.

Hand-Tighten Only: The billet cap is designed to seal effectively with hand-tightening. Do not use tools to tighten the cap, as this could damage the O-ring or the threads.

Clean with Care: To maintain the vibrant red finish, avoid using harsh caustic engine cleaners. Use a mild soap and water solution or a dedicated aluminum polish safe for anodized surfaces.
