When the front cover is assembled to the engine block / heads at the plant, there is a precision RTV head that is programmed to apply the material perfectly. Out in the field, the tech must have ample room in the engine compartment to ensure that he/she is applying the bead correctly to perfectly oil free, clean mating surfaces!
Great!
