Remove the excess 8T-9022 RTV Blue Silicone Sealant from the "T-joints" at the cylinder block (plate), housing, and oil pan joint. Use a suitably sized, flat, straight edged tool (free of oil, fuel, water, dirt, and any other foreign material), such as a putty knife to remove the excess sealant. DO NOT use fingers or towels to remove the excess 8T-9022 RTV Blue Silicone Sealant. The use of fingers or towels will not leave a flat sealing surface which could result in a leak.
