14A-6 Service Information Guide (All) Recommended liquid gasket 1. Using the thread liquid gasket Caution Make sure to use a liquid gasket with the product name above or equivalent. Use an appropriate amount of liquid gasket. Follow the handling precautions for the product. Do not use LOCTITE 515, 518, or FMD 127 (Loctite 5127) as they are anaerobic and do not provide sufficient effect if there is a gap larger than 0.25 mm {0.0098 in} between the contact surfaces of metals. Caution Be careful not to excessively or insufficiently apply liquid gasket. Be sure to overlap the start and end of the liquid gasket application.

Be careful not to misalign the part with the mating part when assembling applied parts. Note Apply again if there is a misalignment. Use the same size studs as a guide when using for a section which has no positioning such as a dowel pin. Whenever disassembling, completely remove the old liquid gasket on the parts and the mating parts where the liquid gasket was used using a scraper, and clean using a waste cloth, etc., so that any oil, moisture, dirt, etc., is removed. After cleaning, apply the specified liquid gasket to each location and assemble. Caution After applying a liquid gasket, assemble within 15 minutes.

Note If a gasket remover is used to make the operation during cleaning easier, it is better to wait approximately 10 minutes after applying before starting the removal operation. Note When more than 15 minutes have passed after applying a liquid gasket, remove the liquid gasket and apply it again. Caution Wait at least 30 minutes before starting the engine after assembling each part. Caution Do not apply a gasket remover to the plastic parts and the painted parts. Thoroughly apply a liquid gasket with the specified bead width to one side of the contact surface.
