Ranger 2WD V6-3.0L (2008)
Installation
1. Install a new valve cover gasket.
2. CAUTION: 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 all traces of old sealant.
NOTE: 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. Observe all warnings and cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone
gasket remover and 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 drop of silicone gasket and sealant at the 4 cylinder block-to-cylinder head seams.
3. Install the valve cover.
