1. Prepare the Vehicle: Ensure the engine is completely cool. Disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent accidental starting.
2. Drain Coolant: Place a suitable drain pan under the radiator and open the drain cock to drain the engine coolant. Ensure proper disposal of the old coolant.
3. Locate Water Outlet: Identify the water outlet housing, typically located on the engine block or intake manifold, where the upper radiator hose connects.
4. Remove Old Gasket: Carefully unbolt and remove the water outlet housing. Scrape off any remnants of the old gasket material from both the housing and the engine mating surface. Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free of corrosion or debris.
5. Install New Gasket: Position the new FEL-PRO 35067 Water Outlet Gasket onto the clean mating surface. Ensure it is correctly aligned with the bolt holes and the water passage.

6. Reinstall Water Outlet: Place the water outlet housing back over the gasket and secure it with the bolts. Tighten the bolts evenly and to the manufacturer's specified torque settings to ensure a proper seal and prevent warping.
7. Refill Coolant: Close the radiator drain cock and refill the cooling system with the appropriate type and amount of coolant.
8. Bleed Air: Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature. Monitor the coolant level and add more as needed to remove any trapped air from the system. Check for leaks.
9. Final Check: After the engine has cooled, recheck the coolant level and inspect the gasket area for any signs of leakage.

5. Maintenance and Inspection

While the FEL-PRO 35067 Water Outlet Gasket is designed for durability, periodic inspection of your cooling system components is recommended to ensure continued optimal performance.

• Visual Inspection: Regularly check the area around the water outlet for any signs of coolant leaks, such as drips, stains, or residue.
• Coolant Level: Monitor your coolant reservoir level. A consistently low level without an obvious external leak could indicate a slow internal leak.
• Hose Condition: Inspect the radiator hoses connected to the water outlet for cracks, hardening, or softness, which can indicate wear and potential future leaks.
• Replacement: Gaskets are wear items. If any signs of leakage or degradation are observed, prompt replacement of the gasket is advised to prevent further cooling system issues.

6. Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues after installing the water outlet gasket, consider the following:

• Coolant Leak at Water Outlet:
  • Cause: Improper surface preparation, uneven bolt tightening, damaged gasket during installation, or incorrect gasket for application.
  • Solution: Re-check bolt torque. If leak persists, drain coolant, remove housing, thoroughly clean mating surfaces, inspect gasket for damage, and reinstall with a new gasket if necessary, ensuring correct torque.
• Overheating Engine:
  • Cause: Low coolant level due to a leak, air trapped in the cooling system, or a faulty thermostat (not directly related to gasket but often replaced concurrently).
  • Solution: Check coolant level and top off. Bleed air from the system. Inspect for leaks. If a new thermostat was installed, ensure it is functioning correctly.
