## 📋 Kit Contents

-   Complete complementary overhaul gasket and seal assortment - Volvo Penta 22218493
-   Internal individual gaskets are serviced as the 22218493 package; Volvo does not publish a complete separate-number packing list in the indexed catalogue

## 🔌 Function

The package seals the lower engine and ancillary joints opened during major reconditioning.

## ⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

-   Oil or coolant leaks from rebuilt joints
-   Gaskets are crushed, hard or torn
-   Engine is undergoing a full overhaul
-   Old seals cannot be reused
-   Leaks remain after only the upper gasket set is replaced

## 🛠️ Service Notes

-   Lay the kit out against the joints you are opening before you start, and check it is the set listed for your engine's build — overhaul kits are specific to an engine family and contents differ between them
-   Clean every sealing face back to clean metal without gouging it, using a hard non-metallic scraper on aluminium faces, and check the faces for flatness before reassembly
-   Fit each gasket and seal dry unless the workshop manual for your engine calls for a sealant or a specific compound at that joint, and then use only what it specifies
-   Treat every item as single-use: a gasket that has been pulled up and slacked off again should be replaced, not reused
-   Follow the tightening sequences and figures in the manual for your engine, and carry out any post-run re-torque or clearance check it calls for
