Corteco 417848P Cylinder Head Gasket Set

Description

This is a Cylinder Head Gasket Set, designed to seal the cylinder head to the engine block, preventing combustion gases from escaping and maintaining coolant and oil circulation. It's a critical component for engine performance and reliability. Manufactured by Corteco with MPN 417848P, this set ensures a secure and durable seal for optimal engine function. The dimensions of this gasket set are 20 x 200 x 530 mm, and it is manufactured in China. This gasket set is engineered for superior heat resistance, and enhanced durability, contributing to a longer engine life and reduced maintenance costs.

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.
