Replacing Engine Gaskets

Gasket Reuse and Applying Sealant

* Do not reuse any gasket unless specified.

* Gaskets that can be reused will be identified in the service procedure.

* Do not apply sealant to any gasket or sealing surface unless specified in the service procedure.

Separating Components

* Use a rubber mallet in order to separate the components.

* Bump the part sideways in order to loosen the components.

* Bumping of the component should be done at bends or reinforced areas of the component to prevent distortion of the components.
