🔌 Function

The kit supplies the seals required to reseal the engine after dismantling of the block, timing, lubrication, cooling and manifold systems.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Engine is being completely rebuilt
• Several oil or coolant joints are leaking
• Gaskets were disturbed during block or timing work
• Old seals have hardened from heat and age
• A replacement long block or short block requires final assembly seals

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check the kit contents against the joints you are actually opening before you start, and lay the parts out so nothing is left in the bag
• Renew every gasket in the kit as a set; a used gasket has already taken its crush and will not seal a second time
• Clean the mating faces properly without gouging them — a plastic or hardwood scraper and a solvent are safer than a steel blade, especially on aluminium
• Fit gaskets dry unless the workshop manual for your engine specifies a sealant, and then use only the sealant it names
• Tighten the joint evenly in the sequence and to the figures given in the manual for your engine, and re-check after the first heat cycle where the manual calls for it
• Volvo Penta's overhaul kits call for one of this part
