Volvo 960 Liquid Gasket Removal

The valve cover on the Volvo 960 is finely machined and does not use a solid gasket as with most vehicles. Volvo instead requires the use of a liquid gasket. When you do any work requiring removal of the valve cover, a new liquid gasket should be applied. This necessitates removal of the old gasket. The process is tedious, but not difficult.

Instructions

1

Read the instructions for using the liquid gasket remover. Open the valve cover and expose the two surfaces where the liquid gasket was applied. Apply the gasket remover liberally on both surfaces and allow them to soak for approximately 10 minutes.

2

Using the razor blade, carefully scrape the surfaces to remove the old gasket. Employ the putty knife in places where the razor blade wont fit. Continue to scrape, until all of the old gasket is gone. Wipe the surfaces clean with the shop cloth.

3

Apply the gasket remover to both surfaces a second time and allow them to soak. Scrape the surfaces gently with either the razor blade or the putty knife and ensure that the entire surface has been cleaned of the old gasket. Wipe both surfaces with a shop cloth.
