FORM-IN-PLACE-GASKET
FIPG is used for several members of this engine. With this gasket, caution is required to the application
amount, application procedure and state of the application surface so that the performance is sufficiently
attained.
If sufficient gasket is not applied, leaks could occur, and if too much is applied, the gasket could protrude
and plug or restrict the oil and water flow passage. Thus, to prevent leaks from the joined sections,
it is absolutely necessary to evenly apply the correct amount.
The FIPG used for the engine parts reacts with moisture in the air and hardens so use it for the normal
metal flange parts.
DISASSEMBLY
The parts assembled with FIPG can be easily disassembled without special means. However, in some
cases, the sealant on the seams must be broken by lightly tapping with a wood hammer or similar tool.
A smooth and thin gasket scraper can be lightly tapped into the seams but in this case, take care not
to damage the seams.
The special tool oil pan remover (MD998727) is set for this purpose.
WASHING THE GASKET SURFACE
Completely remove all matters adhered on the gasket surfaces with a gasket scraper or wire brush.
Confirm that the FIPG application surface is smooth. There must be no grease or foreign matter on
the gasket surface.
Always remove the old FIPG that has entered the mounting holes and screw holes.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Apply an even coat of FIPG within the predetermined radius. Completely cover the areas around the
mounting holes. The FIPG can be wiped off if it has not hardened. Install at the set position while the
FIPG is still wet (within 15 minutes). When installing, maker sure that the FIPG does not get on areas
other than the required areas. After installing, do not subject the application areas to oil or water or
start the engine until the FIPG has sufficiently hardened (approx. one hour). The FIPG application procedures
differ according to the member, so follow the procedures given in this manual and apply the FIPG.

REMOVAL SERVICE POINTS
AA"TIMING BELT REMOVAL
1. To ensure that the timing belt is assembled in the same
direction when reused, using chalk, etc., make an arrow
showing the rotation direction on the back surface of
the timing belt.
2. Position the exhaust camshaft sprocket’s timing mark by
approx. one tooth before the No. 1 cylinder compression
top dead centre.
Caution
When removed at the compression top dead centre,
since the exhaust camshaft is at the position pressing
down on the valve, the sprocket could rotate in reverse
due to the force of the valve spring creating a
hazardous situation.
3. Loosen the lock nut for the tensioner pulley, and remove
the timing belt.
AB"OIL PUMP SPROCKET REMOVAL
1. Remove the plug on the left side of the cylinder block.
2. Insert a Phillips driver (shaft diameter 8 mm) to stop the
counter balance shaft left from rotating.
3. Loosen the flange bolt.
4. Remove the oil pump sprocket.
AC"CRANKSHAFT BOLT REMOVAL
1. Fix the flywheel with the special tool.
2. Remove the crankshaft bolt.
AD"CRANKSHAFT SPROCKET REMOVAL
Use the special tool to remove the sprocket if it is stuck
and hard to remove.

3. Apply form-in-place gasket on the rocker cover at the
position shown in the illustration.

Specified sealant:

TMAAD Part No. 8672 or equivalent
4. Install the rocker cover onto the cylinder head before
the form-in-place gasket hardens.
"EACRANKSHAFT SPROCKET B INSTALLATION
Clean the crankshaft sprocket B installation surface before
degreasing the crankshaft sprocket B.
NOTE
Always degrease the surface to prevent a drop in the frictional
coefficient at the pressing section caused by the adherence
of oil.
"FASPACER INSTALLATION
1. Apply a slight amount of oil on the outer periphery of
the spacer (oil seal contact section).
2. Insert the spacer from the chamfered side as shown in
the illustration.
Caution
Reversed insertion of the spacer can cause damage
to the oil seal lip.
"GACOUNTER BALANCE SHAFT SPROCKET
INSTALLATION
1. Fix the counter balance shaft sprocket with the special
tool.
2. Tighten the counter balance shaft sprocket installation
bolt at the specified torque 46±3N•m.
"HATIMING BELT B INSTALLATION
1. Align the crankshaft sprocket B and counter balance shaft
sprocket timing marks with the timing mark on the oil
pump case.
2. Attach the timing belt B to the crankshaft sprocket B
and counter balance shaft sprocket.
Do not loosen the belt tension too much at this time.
