🔌 Function

The kit groups the gaskets required for its joint into one supply item, so all sealing faces are renewed together rather than individually. This restores the designed sealing compression across the connection.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Exhaust or boost leakage, ticking noise or soot staining at the joint
• Loss of boost pressure or reduced engine performance
• Blown, torn or hardened gaskets found on dismantling
• Joint requiring repeated re-tightening to stay sealed
• Warped or distorted flange faces at the connection

🛠️ 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
