Corteco 417406P Cylinder Head Gasket Set

Description

This Corteco Cylinder Head Gasket Set (MPN: 417406P) is designed to ensure a reliable seal between the engine block and cylinder head, preventing leaks of combustion gases, coolant, and oil. It’s a critical component in maintaining engine compression and overall performance, commonly used in engine repair and overhaul applications. This gasket set provides enhanced thermal stability and resistance to deformation, contributing to a longer engine life and reduced maintenance costs. The dimensions of this set are 28 x 170 x 450 mm and it is manufactured in Taiwan.

Key Features & Benefits

This set basically seals everything up tight between the engine block and the cylinder head. It’s a collection of gaskets and seals – the head gasket itself is the biggest piece, but there are usually smaller ones for things like valve cover, intake manifold, and exhaust manifold that come with it too. They fill any little gaps and create a strong seal. It stops coolant, oil, and most importantly, combustion gases from escaping where they shouldn’t. Think of it as a barrier between a lot of powerful, hot, and messy things inside your engine. The engine creates energy by burning fuel, and that happens inside the cylinders. This set ensures that energy stays contained and works to actually move the vehicle. It's fundamental to how the whole engine operates – without a good seal here, everything falls apart quickly.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It's incredibly important. If this gasket fails, you’ll notice if it’s a small leak – maybe some white smoke from the exhaust, or coolant mysteriously disappearing. But a really bad failure? That can lead to overheating, oil mixing with coolant, or even major engine damage. It’s one of those parts where preventative maintenance can save you a lot of money and headache down the road. Replacing the whole set when you're doing head work or if you suspect a leak is almost always the smart move. You can find a good quality cylinder head gasket set—like the ones we carry at Fixparts Online—for most makes and models pretty easily. It acts like a shield, really, protecting the core of your engine.
