From in Place Gasket (FIPG)
The engine has several areas where the from-in-place gasket(FIPG) is in use. To ensure that gasket fully serves
its purpose, it is necessary to observe some precautions when applying the gasket. Bead size, continuity and
location are of paramount importance. 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 the fluid feed line. To eliminate the possibility
of leaks from a joint, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to apply the gasket evenly without a break, while
observing the correct bead size.
Since the FIPG used in the engine hardens as it reacts with the moisture in the atmospheric air, it is normally
used in the metallic flange areas.
Disassembly
The parts assembled with the FIPG can be easily disassembled without use of a special method. In some cases,
however, the sealant between the joined surfaces may have broken by lightly striking with a mallet or similar tool.
A flat and thin gasket scraper may be lightly hammered in between the joined surfaces. In this case, however,
care must be taken to prevent damage to the joined surfaces. For removal of the oil pan, the special tool "Oil Pan
Remover" (MD998727) is available. Be sure to use the special tool to remove the oil pan.
Surface preparation
Thoroughly remove all substances deposited on the gasket application surfaces, using a gasket scraper or wire
brush.
Check to ensure that the surfaces to which the FIPG is to be applied is flat. Make sure that there are no oils,
greases and foreign substances deposited on the application surfaces. Do not forget to remove the old FIPG
remaining in the bolt holes.
From-in-place gasket Application
Applied FIPG bead should be of the specified size and without breaks. Also be sure to encircle the bolt hole
circumference with a completely continuous bead. The FIPG can be wiped away unless it is hardened. While the
FIPG is still moist (in less than 15 minutes), mount the parts in position. When the parts are mounted, make sure
that the gasket is applied to the required area only.
The FIPG application procedure may vary on different areas. Observe the procedure described in the text when
applying the FIPG.
