NEW TIGHTENING METHOD BY USING PLASTIC REGION TIGHTENING BOLT
Plastic region tightening bolts are used in some parts of the engine. Install these bolts according to the method
described in the body of the manual because the tightening method of these bolts are different from the
conventional method. The service limit is determined for these bolts. Be sure to strictly follow the service limit
described in the body of the manual.
Parts to be used
1. Cylinder head bolt
2. Bearing cap bolt
3. Connecting rod cap bolt
Tightening method
After tightening to the specified tightening torque, further tighten 90° and 90°, or 180° (90° + 90°).
Follow the tightening method described in the body of the manual because the tightening method differs
from part to part.

LIQUID GASKET (FIPG)
FIPG is used for some parts in the engine. It is necessary 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.
DISASSEMBLY
Parts assembled with FIPG can be easily disassembled 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 surface 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 continuously without break. Completely enclose the periphery 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 installation. Do not pour oil
or water on applied locations or do not start the engine until sufficient time (approximately 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.
