WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2013 Ford F-550 Super Duty and 2013 Ford F-450 Super Duty. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: If 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.

Apply silicone gasket and sealant to the Woodruff key slot in the crankshaft pulley.
