1.2 LIQUID GASKETS
The workshop manual specifies when a gasket
is required and it also gives information about
the type of gasket to be used.
Liquid gaskets, which replace conventional
gaskets, have been developed to seal flat
connections. They are resistant to oil, water and
temperatures up to approx. 200
_
C.
To apply the liquid gasket, follow the instructions
below.
Applying a liquid gasket
1. Remove all traces of the old gasket and
clean the surfaces to be sealed.
2. Sparingly apply the specified sealant to one
of the surfaces to be sealed. Also apply
sealant around studs, bores and the like to
ensure they are properly sealed.
3. If sealant has got into an (oil) bore of any
description, remove it carefully.
4. Put the surfaces to be sealed against each
other and tighten the attachment bolts
evenly.
