Installation

1. NOTICE: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove traces of sealant.

Clean and inspect all mating surfaces.

2. NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface prep. 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.

Apply a 2.5 mm (0.09 in) bead of silicone gasket and sealant to the oil pan.





3. Position the oil pan and install the 2 rear oil pan bolts finger-tight.

4. Using a suitable straightedge, align the front surface of the oil pan flush with the front surface of the engine block.
