[QUOTE="raustin0017, post: 15783456, member: 145559"] According to the Service Manual... Remove and discard the oil pan baffle and gasket. Clean the mating surfaces with silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Follow the directions on the packaging. Inspect the mating surfaces. Apply a bead of Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone to the cylinder head-to-cylinder block joints and the oil pan-to-cylinder block joints as illustrated. NOTICE: Failure to use Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone may cause the engine oil to foam excessively and result in serious engine damage. NOTE: If the oil pan is not installed and the fasteners tightened within 5 minutes, the sealant must be removed and the sealing area cleaned. To clean the sealing area, use silicone gasket remover and metal surface prep. Failure to follow this procedure can cause future oil leakage. If this timing cannot be met, tighten fasteners 7, 8, 9 and 10 to 8 Nm (71 lb-in) within 5 minutes of applying the sealer and final torque all of the fasteners within 1 hour of applying the sealer. Hope this helps? Good luck [/QUOTE]
