NOTE: There are internal positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) system check valves built into some oil pans and valve covers. Follow the Service Procedure to make sure replacement parts are properly chosen to maintain an operable PCV system.
1. Inspect the valve cover design around the ignition coils on both sides. Does the coil location have the extended plastic protective ribbing as shown in red? (Figure 1)
Figure 1 (1). Yes – proceed to Step 3. (2). No – proceed to Step 2.
2. Replace both valve covers. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 303-01, Removal and Installation > Valve Cover LH and Valve Cover RH. Proceed to Step 3.
3. Remove and discard the oil pan and oil pump seal. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01, Removal and Installation > Oil Pan.
4. Clean and prepare the engine sealing surface. Refer to WSM, Section 303-00 General Procedures.
5. Install the new oil pump seal. Refer to WSM, Section 303-01, Removal and Installation > Oil Pan.
6. Apply a 18 mm (0.708 in.) bead of Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone to the oil pan where the front cover-to-cylinder block joint areas contact. (Figure 2)
Figure 2 NOTE: The new oil pan does not require the use of Motorcraft® High Performance Engine RTV Silicone in any other location.
7. Verify the correct orientation of the new press in place gasket and install the new oil pan. Refer to the WSM, Section 303-01, Removal and Installation > Oil Pan. © 2023 Ford Motor Company
