Use a thin coat of a sealer (e.g., Permatex) before placing down the a gasket, another thin coat of sealant, the louvered metal filter (which prevents blowback), another thin coat of sealant, and finally a second gasket.

Note: The louvers in the metal filter should be down with the flat side of the louvers facing the flywheel (toward the front of the car).


Put a thin coat of sealant around the edges of the second gasket, then install the pedestal over the four uupright studs in the engine block.

Secure the alternator pedestal with 13mm nuts and washers. Tighten the nuts securely.
