Installation Instructions - Fuel Pump, Intake Manifold & EGR Block Off Plates

Fuel Pump & Intake Manifold Block Off Plate Installation Instructions:

  1. Thoroughly clean the engine block mounting surface and the block off plate so that both are free from grease, debris or other contaminates.
  2. Use BrakLeen (Red Can) or equivalent as final cleaning step to prepare both surfaces.
  3. Apply a thin layer of FORD Motorcraft Ultra-Gray Silicone Sealant or equivalent to the back of the block off plate in contact with the sealing surface of the engine block.
  4. If the bolt threads protrude into the crank case (i.e. are not blind tapped holes) apply a small amount of silicone sealant to the bolt threads.
  5. Install block off plate to the engine and torque bolts per engine manufacture’s recommendations.

(NOTE: Gaskets are not provided with the kit nor are they recommended. The fuel pump mounting holes were not optimally located to provide even gasket compression around the surface of most fuel pumps which is why they invariably leak. If you choose to use a gasket, apply silicone to both sides prior to installation)
