45. Clean the engine front cover and oil pan using a 3M Roloc® Bristle Disk, (2 inch, white, part number 07528) in a suitable tool turning at the recommended speed of 15,000 rpm.
46. Thoroughly wash the engine front cover and oil pan to remove any foreign material, including any abrasive particles created during the cleaning process.
    
    WARNING

    Place clean, lint free shop towels over all exposed engine cavities. Carefully remove the towels so foreign material is not dropped into the engine. Any foreign material (including any material created while cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages or the oil pan, can cause engine failure.
    
    
    
    WARNING

    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 that make leak paths. Use a plastic scraping tool to remove all traces of sealant.
    
    
    
    WARNING

    Observe all warnings or cautions and follow all application directions contained on the packaging of the silicone gasket remover and the metal surface prep.
47. Clean the sealing surfaces of the cylinder block.
48. Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material with a plastic scraper.

51. Apply metal surface prep, following package directions, to remove any remaining traces of oil or coolant and to prepare the surfaces to bond. Do not attempt to make the metal shiny. Some staining of the metal surfaces is normal.
52. Make sure the 2 locating dowel pins are seated correctly in the cylinder block.

To install:

WARNING

Failure to use the correct RTV Silicone Sealant (TA-357) may cause the engine oil to foam excessively and result in serious engine damage.

NOTE

The oil pan and the 4 specified bolts must be installed and the oil pan aligned to the cylinder block and A/C compressor within 4 minutes of sealant application. Final tightening of the oil pan bolts must be carried out within 60 minutes of sealant application.

1. Apply a 0.11 inch (3 mm) bead of RTV Silicone Sealant (TA-357) to the sealing surface of the oil pan.
2. Apply a 0.21 in (5.5 mm) bead of RTV Silicone Sealant (TA-357) to the 2 crankshaft seal retainer plate-to-cylinder block joint areas on the sealing surface of the oil pan.
   
   NOTE

   The oil pan and the 4 specified bolts must be installed within 4 minutes of the start of sealant application.
