Corteco 417535P Cylinder Head Gasket Set

Description

This is a Cylinder Head Gasket Set manufactured by Corteco, MPN 417535P. This set is crucial for maintaining a tight seal between the cylinder head and the engine block, preventing combustion gases and coolant from leaking. It’s commonly used in engine repair and maintenance to restore compression and ensure optimal engine performance. This gasket set features precision engineering for enhanced durability and reliability, contributing to a longer engine lifespan and improved efficiency. The dimensions of this set are 28 x 350 x 580 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.
