NOTE: Clean the sealing surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the engine block, rear seal retainer plate and oil pan.

2. NOTICE: If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

Apply a 4 mm (0.15 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the rear crankshaft seal retainer mating surface on the engine block.
