Installation
1. 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: Clean sealing surfaces with metal surface cleaner. 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.
