Limiting the penetration depth of the staking tool
ensures that the plug is not pressed deeper into the
bore. The gap between the staking marks and the
edge of the plug is still approx. 0.3 mm.

Also seal the plug.

WARNING
Toxic substances
•

Danger of poisoning or suffocation

⇒

Ventilate the work area well.

⇒

Never ingest or inhale.

⇒

Read specific information on the Hazard Sheet.

⇒

Wear personal protective gear.

Information
•

Before applying sealing compound, allow the crankcase to cool down to ambient
temperature.

•

The surfaces must be free of oil, dirt, moisture and oxide layers.

•

Surfaces must be prepared according to instructions. Then clean all surfaces carefully.

•

Leave cleaned surfaces to dry off as instructed. Always adhere to the specified drying
time in order to guarantee adequate adhesion of the sealing compound.

•

Always wear clean gloves when touching cleaned surfaces to avoid transferring dirt and sweat
from your hands onto the surfaces.

7.1

Clean the bore, including the chamfer and plug and the area around the bore on the
crankcase using suitable cleaning agent (isopropanol, acetone, Interflon Metal Clean Aerosol
or Loctite 7063).

7.2

Wipe off the cleaned surface of the crankcase and plug using a non-greasy, lint-free cloth.
Then wipe the surfaces again using a clean part of the cloth to ensure that there are no
residues left.

7.3

Roughen the bore, including the chamfer and plug and the area around the bore on the
crankcase by sanding the areas in circular movements using fine sandpaper (120 grit).

7.4

Clean the sanded surfaces again using suitable cleaning agent.

7.5

Wipe off the cleaned surfaces using a non-greasy, lint-free cloth.
Then wipe the surfaces again using a clean part of the cloth to ensure that there are no
residues left.

7.6

Leave cleaned areas to dry off for approx. 5 minutes.

Use-by date and storage of the sealing compound

Page 8 of 10

•

A use-by date is shown on the crimp of the tube of sealing compound. Do not continue
to use the sealing compound after its use-by date.

•

Store unused cartridges that are still in date as follows: Leave the application nozzle on
the cartridge and seal the open tip with adhesive tape. Store the cartridge in a dry place
at a temperature of 46–70° F. (8–21° C.).

•

When you want to use a previously used cartridge that is still in date for other vehicles at
a later time, dispose of the old application nozzle with the partly hardened sealant and
use a new application nozzle.

•

Before applying sealing compound on the vehicle, first press the contents of the
application nozzle out of the cartridge and dispose of it. Then apply a bead of sealing
compound to a piece of cardboard as a test and only then should you apply sealing
compound on the vehicle.

•

If sealing compound that is still in date has already hardened in both the application
nozzle and cartridge, dispose of the entire cartridge and use a new cartridge.

Prepare sealing compound, Part No. 000.043.204.35, for application.
7.7.1

Cut open the sealing membrane of the cartridge with a knife.

7.7.2

Make a cut around the middle of the application nozzle with a knife so that a
generous amount of sealing compound can then be applied.

7.7.3

Insert the plunger into the cartridge and apply a bead of sealing compound approx.
100 mm long to a piece of cardboard as a test. This test bead can then be used to
check how the sealing compound is hardening.

Applying sealing compound

Remove excess sealing compound if necessary.

Information
Once the sealing compound has been applied, observe and adhere to the following specifications and
hardening times:
•

The time period between applying sealing compound and handing the vehicle over to the customer
(hardening time) must be at least 12 hours (leave the vehicle overnight).

•

The engine in the vehicle must not be started during the entire hardening time.

•

Allow the sealing compound to harden for at least 12 hours at room temperature 64–72° F.
(18–22° C.). Higher temperatures (up to 104° F./40° C.) will not have a negative effect on the
hardening process.

•

Once the sealing compound has been applied, leave it to dry for at least 45 minutes initially until a
skin forms on the surface of the sealing compound and the sealing compound starts to solidify and
toughen. You can check this by touching the bead of sealant applied to the piece of cardboard using
a spatula for example. Do not move the vehicle and do not carry out any other work on the
vehicle during this time so as not to damage the joint by applying pressure too soon.

•

Once the sealing compound has started to solidify, the vehicle can be removed from the lifting
platform. Other work can be carried out on the vehicle if necessary or the vehicle can be moved to a
suitable place in the workshop to allow the sealing compound to harden further.
