Installation

1. Attach the Modular Lifting Bar.
2. Remove the engine from the engine stand.
3. Clean and inspect the mating surface.

CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the aluminum retainer plate. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.





4. Apply a bead of silicone around the rear oil seal retainer sealing surface.
^ Use Silicone Gasket and Sealant F6AZ-19562-A or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A6.

NOTE: If not secured within 4 minutes, sealant must be removed and sealing area cleaned with solvent. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.





5. Install the crankshaft rear oil seal retainer and retainer bolts.





6. Install a new crankshaft rear oil seal.
7. Install the crankshaft oil slinger.





8. Install the flywheel and the bolts. Tighten the bolts in the sequence shown.
9. Position the engine in the vehicle, and remove the engine lifting bar and the jack supporting the transmission.
10. Raise and support the vehicle.





11. Install and tighten the engine support insulator retaining nuts.





12. Install and tighten the new torque converter nuts.
13. Install the starter.





14. Install and tighten the catalytic converter retaining nuts.
