Corteco 427868P Crankcase Gasket Set

Description

This Corteco Crankcase Gasket Set (MPN: 427868P) is designed to ensure a leak-proof seal between the engine block and the oil pan. It is used in the lower engine section to prevent oil leaks and maintain optimal engine performance. The set includes all necessary gaskets for a complete oil sump replacement. This gasket set is manufactured in Italy and features precise dimensions of 28 x 170 x 450 mm, contributing to a secure and reliable seal, improved engine efficiency, and extended component life.

Key Features & Benefits

This set includes all the gaskets that seal up the bottom end of your engine, specifically around where the oil pan—what most people call the oil sump—joins onto the engine block. It’s not just one gasket, it's a whole collection that makes sure everything stays sealed tight. It includes the main gasket for the oil pan itself, plus smaller gaskets for things like the oil pickup tube screen and sometimes even front and rear main seals which prevent oil leaks where the crankshaft comes out. Basically, this whole set creates a barrier between the oil inside your engine—which is critical for lubrication—and the outside world. The crankcase is the lower part of the engine where the crankshaft spins, and oil is stored. These gaskets keep that oil contained. It's a fundamental part of your engine’s lower end.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if these gaskets fail, you’ll get oil leaks. A small leak might just be a drip on your driveway, but bigger leaks can lead to really serious problems, like low oil pressure and engine damage. Oil is the lifeblood of your engine, so keeping it in is pretty important. These gaskets aren’t something you want to put off replacing if you see a leak. They act like a shield, protecting everything inside. You’ll notice if one goes bad, usually as an oil spot under your car, or sometimes you'll smell burning oil. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and getting a full set at once is always the best idea, since everything is likely the same age and condition.
