Installation

All Vehicles





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.

If removed, clean and inspect the mating surface.





4. Note: If not secured within four minutes, sealant must be removed and sealing area cleaned with Metal Surface Cleaner F4AZ-1913536-RA or equivalent meeting Ford specification WSE-M5B392-A. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

If the retainer plate was removed, apply a 4 mm (0.16 inch) 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.





5. If removed, install the crankshaft rear oil seal retainer and bolts.





6. If removed, install a new crankshaft rear oil seal.
7. If removed, install the crankshaft oil slinger.
