Corteco 428591P Crankcase Gasket Set

Description

This Corteco Crankcase Gasket Set (MPN: 428591P) is designed to seal the crankcase of an engine, preventing oil leaks and maintaining optimal engine performance. It is used in engine repair and maintenance, specifically addressing issues related to the oil sump. This gasket set is manufactured in Hungary and measures 28 x 170 x 450 mm. By providing a reliable seal, this gasket set helps to reduce friction, improve lubrication, and extend the life of the engine.

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.
