⚙️ Key Features

• Coolant-resistant gasket material
• Correct OEM port and bolt-hole profile
• Designed for pressure and heat cycling
• Single-use service seal
• Maintains separation between coolant and surrounding components

🔌 Function

The gasket seals the assigned housing, cover, pipe or coolant passage against leakage.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant seepage
• Gasket crushed, torn or hardened
• Corrosion around the joint
• Cooling-system pressure loss
• Leakage after component removal

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fit a new gasket every time the joint is disturbed — a gasket takes a permanent set once it has been torqued and will not seal reliably a second time
• Scrape both faces back to clean bare metal, keeping the blade at a shallow angle so it lifts the old material without gouging the surface, and use a plastic scraper on aluminium castings
• Check the faces for flatness, cracks and corrosion pitting, and make sure no old gasket, carbon or hardened sealant is left in the corners or around the bolt holes
• Fit the gasket dry unless the workshop manual for your engine calls for a sealant, and then only the type it specifies — surplus sealant squeezes out into oil, coolant and fuel passages
• Draw the fasteners down progressively in the sequence and to the torque given in the manual for your engine, and recheck after the first heat cycle where the manual asks for it
