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.
Clean the sealing surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Inspect the mating
surfaces.
2. Position the oil pan gasket, the oil pan and the oil pump screen and pickup tube together to the cylinder block.
3. CAUTION: Make sure the O-ring is in place and not damaged. A missing or damaged O-ring can cause foam in the lubrication system, low oil
pressure, and severe engine damage.
NOTE: Install a new O-ring and lubricate with clean engine oil.
Position the oil pump screen and pickup tube and install the bolts.
4. NOTE: If the oil pan is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use
silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil
leakage.
