Section II. GASKETS
3-4. General. Gaskets may become damaged causing leakage from components. Procedures are available to make or
repair gaskets if standard replacements are not available. Lift capability may be required to gain access to the gasket.
Heat and pressure should be considered when selecting gasket materials.
3-5. Gaskets, Leaking. When some metal surfaces are bolted together a compressable gasket is required to reduce or
eliminate the leakage of fluids or lubricants. Gaskets are also used to seal systems against fuel leakage or to keep
contaminants from entering. Leaks can be tolerated if the fluid leaking does not constitute a fire hazard or does not leak
at a rate which will deplete the required lubrication or coolant.
