Too thin a bead could cause leaks. Too thick a bead,
on the other hand, could be squeezed out of location,
causing blocking or narrowing of fluid passages. To
prevent leaks or blocking of passages, therefore, it is
absolutely necessary to apply the FIPG evenly
without a break, while observing the correct bead
size.
FIPG hardens as it reacts with the moisture in the
atmospheric air, and it is usually used for sealing
metallic flange areas.
Disassembly
Parts sealed with a FIPG can be easily removed
without need for the use of a special method. In
some cases, however, the FIPG in joints may have to
be broken by tapping parts with a mallet or similar
tool.
Surface Preparation
Thoroughly remove all substances deposited on the
FIPG application surface, using a gasket scraper.
Make sure that the FIPG application surface is flat
and smooth. Also make sure that the surface is free
from oils, greases and foreign substances. Do not fail
to remove old FIPG that may remain in the fastener
fitting holes.
FIPG Application
Applied FIPG bead should be of the specified size
and free of any break. FIPG can be wiped away
unless it has completely hardened. Install the mating
parts in position while the FIPG is still wet (in less
than 10 minutes after application). Do not allow FIPG
to spread beyond the sealing areas during
installation. Avoid operating the transmission or
letting oils or water come in contact with the sealed
area before a time sufficient for FIPG to harden
(approximately one hour) has passed.
FIPG application method may vary from location to
location. Follow the instruction for each particular
case described later in this manual.
