service tools, otherwise severe engine damage can occur.

NOTE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any
material created while cleaning gasket surfaces, that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan
can cause engine failure.
