CAUTION:
The gasket sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and the cylinder block must be clean. For additional information, refer to CYLINDER HEADS .
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.
NOTE:
RH head gasket shown, LH head gasket similar.
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:
The gasket sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and the cylinder block must be clean. For additional information, refer to CYLINDER HEADS .
CAUTION:
The use of sealing aids (aviation cement, copper spray and glue) is not permitted. The gasket must be installed dry.

NOTE:
Lubricate the hydraulic lash adjusters with clean engine oil.
CAUTION:
The timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to the valves and pistons will result.
CAUTION:
Do not compress the ratchet assembly. This will damage the ratchet assembly.
NOTE:

CAUTION:
Unless otherwise instructed, at no time when the timing chains are removed and the cylinder heads are installed is the crankshaft or camshaft to be rotated. Severe piston and valve damage will occur.

Rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise only. Do not rotate past position shown or severe piston and valve damage can occur.
NOTE:
The LH timing chain tensioner arm has a bump near the dowel hole for identification.
NOTE:
If the engine front cover is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to do this procedure can result in future oil leakage.
NOTE:
If the valve cover is not secured within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to do this procedure can result in future oil leakage.

NOTE:
If the crankshaft pulley is not installed within four minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or four minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to do this procedure can result in future oil leakage.
NOTE:
Use a suitable strap wrench (303-D055) or equivalent to hold the pulley while tightening the bolt.
