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 amount causes leakage while too much
amount squeezes out to block or narrow water and
oil passages. Therefore, it is absolutely essential to
apply a correct amount of liquid sealant continuously
without break to eliminate leakage from joints.
FIPG used for engine parts hardens reacting with
moisture in the air, and is usually used for metal
flanges.
.
CAUTION
Reapply the FIPG with care to the followings.
1. Completely remove the old FIPG including the
residue in gaps of parts.
2. Using Mitsubishi genuine parts cleaner
(MZ100387) or equivalent, degrease the FIPG
application surface carefully.
3. According to the FIPG application proce-
dures, apply it accurately.
.
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.
The gasket surface must be free from grease and
foreign substances. Be sure to remove old FIPG that
has entered mounting holes and screw holes.
.
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.
