PetesPonies Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Brandon - Why use a procedure other than that from the official Ford shop manual? Ford doesn't say to soak it in oil. But they do say to put RTV on it, which isn't going to work at all with oil there. In fact, they say "Do not allow oil to get on the sealer area." I would not use that process, but would follow the Ford one, right out of the official publication, to the letter. I've installed many, I promise my way works. Which probably isn't much different than the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myrl883 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 Going to give it a go here shortly... "Soak in oil" refers to the old rope seals. They could tear on installation, and would leak if an engine sat too long. Pete's instructions are perfect for a two piece seal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
