Liquid Gasket (FIPG)
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
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 application amount of FIPG or the dirty surface where the FIPG is applied might cause the FIPG leakage. Too large application amount of FIPG overflows and might clog or narrow the passage of water or oil. It is absolutely essential that the surface where the FIPG is applied must be cleaned and the appropriate amount of FIPG must be evenly applied to prevent the leakage from the connected area.
FIPG used for engine parts hardens reacting with moisture in the air, and is usually used for metal flanges.

- Completely remove the old FIPG including the residue in gaps of parts.
- Using Mitsubishi Motors Genuine parts cleaner (MZ100387) or equivalent, degrease the FIPG application surface carefully.
- According to the FIPG application procedures, apply it accurately.
