cfw truck oil seals

Cfw truck oil seals.So how do you install the upper seal without cutting it up? Fel-Pro included this nifty thin plastic that you wedge between the channel and the seal to keep it from getting cut. I saw the same seal kit that included this plastic piece, and some did not. Your mileage may vary.
Notice the orientation of the seal where the mouth of the seal opens toward the front of the vehicle. Once seal is in place, simply pull the plastic out.
Install the down pipe back on the header and install the oxygen sensor back on the down pipe and JUST hand tight it down.Cfw truck oil seals. It just needs to be on there tight enough so it won't fall back out on its own.
Start applying Chrysler Anaerobic Sealant or Loctite 518 on the rear main bearing cap mating surfaces as shown in the following picture. You DO NOT NEED MUCH. It is CRUCIAL that you DO NOT get any of this sealant on the lip of the seal! Make sure you compensate for the spread of the sealant once it is jammed between the surfaces. Put some engine oil on the bearing!!
Install the main bearing cap and torque the bolts to 80ft.lbs.Install the bearing brace and torque the bolts to 35ft.lbs.
Place the oil pan gasket on the pan.Cfw truck oil seals. I used RTV on the crucial area at the front of the block and where the rear bearing cap. I can use RTV here, because this is to seal something that is not moving against anything. Notice that I used RTV on both the top and the bottom of the oil pan gasket. *MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN THE MATING SURFACE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK FREE OF ANY SEALANT AND OILY RESIDUE! I used paint prepping solvent to clean the surface.
Anaerobic Sealant starts curing after when it is isolated from the atmosphere unlike most RTVs.Cfw truck oil seals. Some may say they got away with using RTV. They got away. I am not sure if you will. I also noticed the anaerobic sealer had different viscosity compare to the red RTV that I used on the oil pan gasket. BTW it is the factory service manual that is calling for this Loctite 518 or equivalent. There is no Loctite 518 available in the local part store which is the anaerobic sealant. You will have to get this sealant from the dealer.Cfw truck oil seals.
