NOTE:
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 the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system module gasket.
NOTE:
If there is no residual gasket material present, metal surface prep can be used to clean and prepare the surfaces.
