Cleaning Gasket Surfaces

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Remove all gasket and sealing material from the part using the EN-28410 remover or equivalent.
Care must be used to avoid gouging or scraping the sealing surfaces.
Do not use any other method or technique to remove sealant or gasket material from a part.
Do not use abrasive pads, sand paper, or power tools to clean the gasket surfaces.
- These methods of cleaning can cause damage to the component sealing surfaces.
- Abrasive pads also produce a fine grit that the oil filter cannot remove from the oil.
- This grit is abrasive and has been known to cause internal engine damage.
