Liquid Gasket Application Procedure

Precautions for Liquid Gasket






REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET SEALING
After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, disconnect and remove the liquid gasket sealing using a seal cutter.

CAUTION: Be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.

In areas where the cutter is difficult to use, use a plastic hammer to lightly tap the area where the liquid gasket is applied.

CAUTION: If for some unavoidable reason a tool such as a flat-bladed screwdriver is used, be careful not to damage the mating surfaces.






LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE
1. Using a scraper, remove the old liquid gasket adhering to the gasket application surface and the mating surface.
Remove the liquid gasket completely from the groove of the gasket application surface, mounting bolts, and bolt holes.

2. Wipe the gasket application surface and the mating surface with white gasoline (lighting and heating use) to remove adhering moisture, grease and foreign materials.
3. Attach the liquid gasket to the tube presser. Use Genuine Ultra Grey RTV Silicone Sealant Part No. 999MP-AM003P or equivalent.
4. Apply the gasket without breaks to the specified location with the specified dimensions.





If there is a groove for the liquid gasket application, apply the gasket to the groove.






As for the bolt holes, normally apply the gasket inside the holes. Occasionally, it should be applied outside the holes. Make sure to read the text of service manual.
Within five minutes of gasket application, install the mating component.
If the liquid gasket protrudes, wipe it off immediately.
Do not retighten after the installation.
Wait at least 30 minutes before refilling engine oil and engine coolant.

CAUTION: If there are specific instructions in the service manual, observe them.
