Installation and Usage Notes

The most important point to consider during the installation of the water flange gasket is the cleanliness of the surfaces. Residues of the old gasket should be cleaned, and the new gasket should be placed correctly. It is recommended to pay attention to the torque value during installation; typically, a torque value between 10-15 Nm is appropriate. Since the water flange gasket is part of the engine cooling system, the condition of other parts in the system (water pump, radiator) should also be checked. It is important to monitor the engine temperature during long journeys.
