Summary

This service bulletin advises about the possible issues that may occur when using a scotch brite pad or highly abrasive disk on gasket sealing surfaces or reused parts.

 


The Use of Surface Conditioning Disks

Notice: Do not use abrasive pad/bristle devices to clean the gasket surfaces of any engine, transmission, transfer case and axles as well as any other component that contains lubricant. Abrasive pads should not be used for some of the following reasons:

  • Abrasive pads will produce fine grit that the oil filter will not be able to remove from the oil. THIS GRIT IS ABRASIVE AND HAS BEEN KNOWN TO CAUSE INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. Abrasive pads can easily remove enough material to round cylinder head surfaces. This has been known to affect the gasket’s ability to seal, especially in the narrow seal areas between the combustion chambers and coolant jackets.
  • Abrasive pads, Abrasive rubber fingers wheels & wire wheels with high speeds grinders produce airborne debris that can travel throughout the shop contaminating other work being performed outside of the immediate work area.
