CAUTION:
The gasket sealing surfaces on the cylinder head and cylinder block must be clean and dry.
CAUTION:
The use of sealing aids (aviation cement, copper spray and glue) is not permitted. The gasket must be installed dry.
CAUTION:
The new gasket has a film coating which is crucial to the gasket's ability to seal correctly. Do not scratch the gasket.
CAUTION:
Cylinder head machining or milling is not authorized by Ford Motor Company. Cylinder head flatness must be within 0.0254 mm (0.001 in) across a 38.1 mm (1.5 in) square area.
CAUTION:
Do not allow the dowels to scratch the sealing surface of the cylinder head during cylinder head installation.
NOTE:
The cylinder head bolts are a torque-to-yield design and must not be reused. Always use new bolts.
NOTE:
Coat the valve tappets with clean engine oil prior to installing.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the camshaft journals, the camshaft caps and the camshaft lobes prior to installing the camshafts.
CAUTION:
Install the camshaft bearing caps. The camshaft bearing caps are positional and must be installed in their original locations and orientation or engine damage can occur.
NOTE:
Apply clean engine oil to the camshaft journals, the camshaft caps and the camshaft lobes prior to installing the camshafts.
CAUTION:
Install the camshaft bearing caps. The camshaft bearing caps are positional and must be installed in their original locations and orientation or engine damage can occur.
CAUTION:
If any components are installed new, the engine must be reshimmed or engine damage can occur.
CAUTION:
The plastic sleeve that comes with the new crankshaft rear oil seal protects the seal while in transit and is also used as an installation tool to prevent lip seal roll when carrying out the repair. The sleeve must be used to prevent future seal concerns.
NOTE:
Lubricate the cylinder block bore and the crankshaft with clean engine oil before installing the seal.
NOTE:
There is one window on the ignition pulse wheel that is unique to accept the special tool.
NOTE:
LH shown, RH similar.
CAUTION:
The flats on the camshaft must completely contact the special service tool or damage to the camshafts can occur. Slowly draw the special tool down evenly until it is fully seated on the camshaft flats.
CAUTION:
The exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt must be fully tightened before tightening the intake camshaft sprocket bolt.
CAUTION:
Using the special tool, apply 10 Nm (89 lb-in) counterclockwise to the LH exhaust camshaft sprocket.
CAUTION:
The flats on the camshaft must completely contact the special service tool or damage to the camshafts can occur. Slowly draw the special tool down evenly until it is fully seated on the camshaft flats.
CAUTION:
The exhaust camshaft sprocket bolt must be fully tightened before tightening the intake camshaft sprocket bolt.
CAUTION:
Using the special tool, apply 10 Nm (89 lb-in) counterclockwise to the RH exhaust camshaft sprocket.
NOTE:
Lubricate the VCT bush carrier seals with clean engine oil.
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 sump is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
NOTE:
Inspect the O-ring seal. Install a new O-ring seal if necessary. Lubricate the O-ring seal with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
Make sure all gasket sealing surfaces are clean and dry.
NOTE:
If the front cover is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
NOTE:
Lubricate the front oil seal and the engine front cover mating surface with clean engine oil.
NOTE:
If the crankshaft pulley is not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.

NOTE:
If the valve covers are not secured within 4 minutes of sealant application, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned with metal surface cleaner. Allow to dry until there is no sign of wetness, or 4 minutes, whichever is longer. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage.
CAUTION:
Use O-ring seals that are made of special fuel-resistant material. Use of ordinary O-rings can cause the fuel system to leak. Do not reuse the O-ring seals.
NOTE:
RH shown, LH similar.
CAUTION:
Failure to lubricate the O-ring seal and the oil level indicator tube-to-engine block mating surface with clean engine oil can result in engine oil leaks.
CAUTION:
Make sure the O-ring seal remains in position and does not roll up the indicator tube during installation.
