Installation Procedure

CAUTION: The gasket sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and cylinder block must be clean and dry.
CAUTION: The use of sealing aids (aviation cement, copper spray and glue) is not permitted. The gasket must be installed dry.
CAUTION: The new gasket has a film coating which is crucial to the gasket's ability to seal correctly. Do not scratch the gasket.
CAUTION: Cylinder head machining or milling is not authorized by the Ford Motor Company. Cylinder head flatness must be within 0.0254 mm (0.001 in) across a 38.1 mm (1.5 in) square area.
CAUTION: Do not allow the dowels to scratch the sealing surface of the cylinder head during cylinder head installation.
