The use of sealing aids (aviation cement, copper spray and glue) is not permitted. The gasket must be installed dry. Failure to follow these instructions may result in future oil leakage.
CAUTION:
The cylinder head bolts must be discarded and new bolts installed. They are a tighten-to-yield design and cannot be reused.
NOTE:
Do not turn the crankshaft until instructed to do so.

NOTE:
LH shown, RH similar.
CAUTION:
Timing chain procedures must be followed exactly or damage to valves and pistons will result.
CAUTION:
Prior to installation, inspect the tensioner-sealing bead for seal integrity. If cracks, tears, separation from the tensioner body or permanent compression of the seal bead is observed, install a new tensioner or engine damage may occur.
NOTE:
Make sure the upper half of the timing chain is below the tensioner arm dowel.
NOTE:
The LH timing chain tensioner arm has a bump near the dowel hole for identification.
NOTE:
The lower half of the timing chain must be positioned above the tensioner arm dowel.
NOTE:
The camshaft phaser and sprocket will be stamped with one of the illustrated timing marks for the RH camshaft.
NOTE:
Do not allow the valve keepers to fall off of the valve or the valve may drop into the cylinder. If a valve drops into the cylinder, the cylinder head must be removed.
NOTE:
It may be necessary to push the valve down while compressing the spring.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
NOTE:
If the engine front cover is not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use Silicone Gasket Remover and Motorcraft 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.
NOTE:
Make sure that the engine front cover gasket is in place on the engine front cover before installation.
CAUTION:
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, power abrasive discs or other abrasive means to clean sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges which make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of old sealant.
NOTE:
If not secured within 4 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use Silicone Gasket Remover and Motorcraft 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.
