FORM-IN-PLACE GASKET  
The engine has several areas where the form-in-place gasket (FIPG) is in use. To ensure that the 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 possibly of leaks from a joint, therefore, it is absolutely necessary to  
apply the gasket evenly without a break, while observing the correct bead size.  
The FIPG used in the engine is a room temperature vulcanization (RTV) type. Since the RTV 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 to be 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” 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 sealant remained in the bolt holes.  
Form-In-Place Gasket Application  
When assembling parts with the FIPG, you must observe some precautions, but the procedures is very  
simple as in the case of a conventional precut gasket.  
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. In addition, do  
not apply any oil or water to the sealing locations or start the engine until a sufficient amount of time  
(about one hour) has passed after installation is completed.  
The FIPG applications procedure may vary on different areas. Observe the procedure described in the  
text when applying the FIPG.

the belt with a new one:  
(1) Hardened back surface rubber.  
Glossy, non-elastic and so hard that no mark is produced  
when scratched with a fingernail.  
(2) Cracked back surface rubber.  
(3) Cracked or separated canvas.  
(4) Cracked tooth bottom.

(1) Connect the nozzle tester to injection nozzle 3 and carry  
out the tests described below.  
Caution  
D
Before starting the tests, operate the lever of the  
nozzle tester two or three times to bleed air from  
the nozzle.  
Valve opening pressure test  
(1) Slowly push down the nozzle tester lever. The pressure  
gauge pointer will gradually rise and then deflect suddenly  
at a certain value. Make a note of the pressure at which  
the pointer suddenly deflects.  
(2) If this pressure value deviates from the standard value,  
disassemble the nozzle. Clean and reassemble the  
nozzle. Then adjust to the specified pressure by fitting  
a different shim 9.  
(3) A difference in shim thickness of 0.05 mm changes the  
opening pressure by 5 kPa. Shims are available in  
thicknesses from 1.00 to 1.95 mm, increasing by  
increments of 0.05 mm.  
(4) Fit a new fuel injection nozzle 3 if the pressure value  
is still incorrect after adjustment.

Spray pattern test  
(1) Move the nozzle tester lever with a fast short stroke (four  
to six strokes per second) so that a continuous spray  
of fuel is obtained from the nozzle.  
A: The fuel exits the nozzle in a straight thin spray pattern  
(correct).  
B: Excessive spray angle (incorrect).  
C: Spray deflected to one side (incorrect).  
D: Interrupted spray form (incorrect).
