Pan, Oil: Cleaning

CAUTION:

Clean the upper and lower oil pans, timing chain cover, rear seal retainer and engine block mating surfaces thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol in preparation for sealant application. All surfaces that seal with RTV must be oil and contamination free to ensure proper adhesion of the RTV to the mating surface to prevent leaks.

  1. Clean the oil pan in solvent and wipe dry with a clean cloth.
    CAUTION:

    Do not use oil based liquids, wire brushes, abrasive wheels or metal scrapers to clean the engine gasket surfaces. Use only isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, along with plastic or wooden scrapers. Improper gasket surface preparation may result in engine fluid leakage.

  2. Remove all residual sealant from the oil pan. Refer to ENGINE GASKET SURFACE PREPARATION .
