Perform work on an inspection pit, overpass or lift.
For replacing the oil pan seal of the Duratec Ti-VCT 1.6L engine perform the following operations.
You will need: socket heads "10", "13", M8 studs (5 pcs.) at least 20 mm long.
1. Drain the oil from the engine (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
2. Remove the four bolts securing the gearbox to the oil pan.
3. Unscrew the thirteen bolts securing the oil pan to the engine cylinder block, carefully pry it off with a screwdriver and remove the oil pan. The blind holes in the cylinder block for the bolts, shown by the red arrows, must be protected from sealant. To do this, screw five M8 studs into the cylinder block.
4. Clean the mating surfaces of the oil pan and cylinder block from old sealant.
5. Apply a special sealant-gasket (FORD WSE-M4G323-A4 or its equivalent) to the mating surface of the oil pan with a roller with a diameter of 3–4 mm, and the line of application of the sealant-gasket should pass from the inside of the mounting holes.
6. No later than 10 minutes after applying the sealant, install the oil pan on the cylinder block, unscrew the studs and screw in the pan mounting bolts without tightening.
WARNING: To ensure a tight seal, the following two steps must be completed within 5 minutes of installing the crankcase.
7. Install the four gearbox mounting bolts to the oil pan and tighten them to a torque of 47 N·m (4.7 kgf·m).
8. Tighten the crankcase mounting bolts in the order shown in the photo, in two stages: 1st - preliminary tightening with a torque of 10 N·m (1 kgf·m); 2nd – final tightening to 20 Nm (2 kgf·m).
9. Fill the engine with oil (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
NOTE: You can fill the oil and start the engine no earlier than one hour after installing the oil pan: this time is necessary for the sealant to polymerize.
For replacing the oil pan seal of 2.0 and 2.3 L Duratec-HE engines perform the following operations.
You will need: socket heads "10", "13".
1. Drain the oil from the engine (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
2. Disconnect the lines from the air conditioning compressor (see Removing and installing the compressor).
3. Remove the four bolts securing the gearbox to the oil pan.
4. Unscrew the thirteen bolts securing the oil pan to the engine cylinder block, carefully pry it off with a screwdriver..
5….and remove the oil pan.
6. Clean the mating surfaces of the oil pan and cylinder block from old sealant.
7. Apply a special sealant-gasket (FORD WSE-M4G323-A4 or its equivalent) to the mating surface of the oil pan with a roller with a diameter of 3–4 mm, and the line of application of the sealant-gasket should pass from the inside of the mounting holes.
8. No later than 10 minutes after applying the sealant, install the oil pan on the cylinder block and screw in the pan mounting bolts without tightening.
WARNING: To ensure a tight seal, the following two steps must be completed within 5 minutes of installing the crankcase.
9. Install the four gearbox mounting bolts to the oil pan and tighten them to 48 N·m (4.8 kgf·m).

10. Tighten the crankcase mounting bolts in the order shown in Fig. 5.34, in two stages:
- 1st – preliminary tightening with a torque of 20 Nm (2 kgf·m);
- 2nd – final tightening to 48 Nm (4.8 kgf·m).
11. Fill the engine with oil (see Changing engine oil and oil filter).
NOTE: You can fill the oil and start the engine no earlier than one hour after installing the oil pan: this time is necessary for the sealant to polymerize.
