WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Ford F550 Super Duty and 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
    NOTE: If the valve cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure may cause future oil leakage.
