Precautions for Liquid Gasket

EBS00GVP

REMOVAL OF LIQUID GASKET

●

After removing the mounting bolts and nuts, separate the mating
surface using a seal cutter and remove the sealant.

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 areas where the sealant 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 sur-
faces.

LIQUID GASKET APPLICATION PROCEDURE

1.

Using a scraper, remove the old sealant adhering to the mating
surface.

●

Remove the sealant completely from the groove, mounting
bolts, and bolt holes.

2.

Clean the mating surface thoroughly to remove adhering mois-
ture, grease and foreign materials.

3.

Install the sealant tube into the tube presser.
Use Genuine Silicone RTV or equivalent. Refer to

GI-42,

"RECOMMENDED CHEMICAL PRODUCTS AND SEAL-
ANTS"

.

4.

Apply the sealant without breaks to the specified area with the
specified dimensions.

●

If there is a groove for the sealant application, apply the seal-
ant to the groove.

●

As for the bolt holes, normally apply the sealant inside the
holes. If specified, it should be applied outside the holes.
Make sure to read the instructions in this instruction.

●

Within five minutes of sealant application, install the mating
component.

●

If the sealant protrudes, wipe it off immediately.

●

Do not retighten after the installation.

●

After 30 minutes or more have passed from the installation, fill
the engine with the correct oil and coolant. Refer to

MA-12,

"Recommended Fluids and Lubricants"

.

CAUTION:

If there are specific instructions in the service instruction, observe them.
