• 1.179 kg
• Supersedes 3817590, catalogued earlier as a gasket kit

🔌 Function

Seals the joint between head and block, holding combustion pressure in each cylinder while keeping coolant and oil in their own passages.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Coolant loss with no external leak, and pressure in the header tank
• White smoke or a sweet smell in the exhaust
• Bubbling in the expansion tank when running
• Oil and coolant mixing to a mayonnaise emulsion
• Loss of compression between neighbouring cylinders

🛠️ Service Notes

• Because the number it replaces was catalogued as a gasket kit, check whether your job also needs the other gaskets and seals that the old kit may have contained
• Head bolts are usually single use and angle tightened, so follow the manual sequence and figures
• Check head and block faces for flatness and have the head skimmed if needed before fitting
