General
NOTE: Make sure the engine is assembled using all
specified torque values, tightening
sequences, and clearances. Failure to
observe specifications could cause severe
engine wear or damage. Always use new
gaskets.
Make sure all traces of any cleaner are removed
before the engine is assembled and placed into
operation. Even small amounts of these cleaners can
quickly break down the lubricating properties of engine
oil.
Check the oil pan, crankcase, cylinder heads, and
valve covers to be certain that all of the old RTV has
been removed. Use gasket remover, lacquer thinner,
or paint remover to remove any remaining traces.
Clean the surfaces with isopropyl alcohol, acetone,
lacquer thinner, or electrical contact cleaner.
