LIQUID GASKET (FIPG)
FIPG is used for some parts in the engine. It is nec-
essary to pay attention to an application amount,
application procedure and applied surface condition
for this gasket to fully achieve its purpose.
Too small application amount of FIPG or the dirty
surface where the FIPG is applied might cause the
FIPG leakage. Too large application amount of FIPG
overflows and might clog or narrow the passage of
water or oil. It is absolutely essential that the surface
where the FIPG is applied must be cleaned and the
appropriate amount of FIPG must be evenly applied
to prevent the leakage from the connected area.
FIPG used for engine parts hardens reacting with
moisture in the air, and is usually used for metal
flanges.
.
DISASSEMBLY
Parts assembled with FIPG can be easily disassem-
bled without using a special method. In some cases,
however, it is necessary to lightly tap parts with a
wooden hammer or similar tool to break sealant
between mating surfaces. Or lightly driving a smooth
and thin gasket scraper in mating surfaces is useful,
but full care must be exercised not to damage mating
surfaces. As special tool oil pan FIPG cutter
(MD998727) is set, use this tool.
.
CLEANING OF GASKET SURFACE
Completely remove all deposits from the gasket sur-
face with a gasket scraper or wire brush. Make sure
that the surface to which FIPG is applied is smooth.
Completely remove all the old FIPG, which might be
remaining in the installation hole, the thread hole or
among the components.
Sufficiently clean the surface where the FIPG is
applied using the degreasing agent such as white
gasoline.
.
APPLICATION PROCEDURE
Apply FIPG in a determined diameter and continu-
ously without break. Completely enclose the periph-
ery of mounting holes. FIPG can be wiped off if it is
not hardened. Install parts in place while FIPG is still
wet. Take care not to allow FIPG to adhere to other
locations than necessary locations during installa-
tion. Do not pour oil or water on applied locations or
do not start the engine until sufficient time (approxi-
mately one hour) passes. The application procedure
of FIPG may differ depending on areas. Follow the
procedure in the body of the manual to apply FIPG.
