Special Tools:

Installation
1. Attach the Modular Lifting Bar.
2. Remove the engine from the engine stand.

3. CAUTION: Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the aluminum retainer plate. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.

Clean and inspect the mating surfaces of the cylinder block and the retainer plate.

4. Note: If not secured within 4 minutes, sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with solvent. 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 bead of silicone around the rear oil seal retainer sealing surface.
^ Use Silicone Gasket and Sealant F7AZ-19554-EA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M4G323-A4.
