NOTE: Only use a 3M Roloc ® Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) to clean the engine front cover. Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes or any other power abrasive disk to clean front cover.
1. 44.
   Clean the engine front cover using a 3M Roloc ® Bristle Disk (2-in white, part number 07528) in a suitable tool turning at the recommended speed of 15, 000 RPM. Thoroughly wash the engine front cover to remove any foreign material, including any abrasive particles created during the cleaning process.

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 engine block, cylinder heads, and oil pan. These tools can cause contamination that will cause premature engine failure. Remove all traces of the gasket.
NOTE: Place clean, lint-free shop towels over 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, may cause engine failure.
1. 45.
   Clean the sealing surfaces of the cylinder heads, the cylinder block and the oil pan in the following sequence.
   • Remove any large deposits of silicone or gasket material.
   • Apply Motorcraft ®Silicone Gasket Remover and allow to set for several minutes.
