Clean surface with single edge razor blade. Use some rtv along with the gasket. Read instructions...does not thighten completely untill starts to tack usually takes 45-minutes, fully hardens(ready for refill,use) in 24 hours. That means do not fill with coolant, water, whatever and get pressure on it or will fail.
