NOTE: Do not use wire brushes, power abrasive discs or 3M™ Roloc® Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) to clean the sealing surfaces of the engine block. These tools cause scratches and gouges, which make leak paths. They also cause contamination that causes premature engine failure. Remove all traces of the gasket.

Make sure that the mating surface is clean and free of foreign material. Refer to: RTV Sealing Surface Cleaning and Preparation .
