Installing

Note:

Place a cloth over the open part of the oil pan.

• ‒ Carefully remove any residual sealant from cylinder block and oil pan.
• ‒ → Remove sealant residues from sealing flange, e.g. with rotating plastic brush or similar.

• ‒ Clean sealing surfaces: they must be free of oil and grease.

Note:

The sealing flange must be installed within 5 minutes after applying silicone sealant.
