Installation

CAUTIONDo not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surface. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of sealant.
CAUTIONDo not damage the oil pan gasket while cleaning the sealant from the lower cylinder block-to-oil pan joint.
