1	Oil Pan Procedure Ensure proper use of room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) sealant. Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant NOTE: All sealing surfaces must be free of contamination prior to applying the sealer. Installation and final torque specification must be completed within 10 minutes of applying the sealant. Additional sealant is necessary to reduce the possibility of leakage where the cylinder head to engine block interface along the bead path flange on the front cover. Apply a 3 mm bead of sealer around the perimeter of the oil pan. Refer to Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe LV7) , or Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (Europe L5Q) , or Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America LV7) , or Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers (North America L5Q) .
