It measures 28 x 170 x 450 mm and is manufactured in the United States.

Key Features & Benefits

Basically, this gasket seals that space between the engine block and the cylinder head. It’s got a bunch of different layers, designed to withstand incredible heat and pressure. It keeps coolant, oil, and combustion gases where they’re supposed to be – not mixing together. It also helps transfer heat away from the combustion chamber. Think of it as a critical barrier. The engine creates a lot of force when it runs, and a lot of heat. This gasket sits right in the middle of it all. It’s between the top and bottom halves of the engine, sealing everything up so that everything runs smoothly. It's a core component for proper engine function.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

This is a big one. If this gasket fails, you’ll likely have coolant leaking into your cylinders, or combustion gases leaking into the coolant. You’ll notice if it goes bad - overheating is a common symptom, maybe white smoke coming from the exhaust, or milky oil. It’s a real headache because it can cause major engine damage if you keep driving on a bad one. It acts like a shield, keeping everything separate that needs to be separate. Getting a good quality replacement is really important, and you can find a lot of options at places like Fixparts Online. It’s one of those parts where paying a little more upfront can save you a lot of money and trouble down the road.
