    Spray Low VOC brake cleaner on the lower crankcase extension sealing surface and the NEW oil pan surface and wipe off with a clean shop towel. Avoid touching the surface after cleaning and dry with shop air.

    5. NOTE:
    • Do NOT put the RTV on the lower (inside) step of the oil pan or on the flat outer flange of the oil pan near or around the bolt holes. Improper RTV application to the mating surfaces of the oil pan may result in oil leaks.
    • Do not allow the RTV (1) to skin over. The oil pan must be installed within 10 minutes of RTV application.
    • The RTV bead should be a uniform diameter to ensure the best seal upon assembly. Do not allow the RTV to flatten before assembly. Use of Room Temperature Vulcanizing (RTV) and Anaerobic Sealant
    • Proper application of the RTV bead around the ledge will allow the RTV to flow to the lower step on the inside of the oil pan when it is reinstalled. This will fill the lower step resulting in a seal around the inside of the oil pan.
  5. Apply a 3 mm (0.118 in) diameter bead of RTV (1) around the ledge of the oil pan. Adhesives, Fluids, Lubricants, and Sealers
