Description

This Corteco Cylinder Head Gasket Set (MPN: 417835P) is a critical component for maintaining the seal between the cylinder head and the engine block. It's used in engine repair and maintenance to prevent leaks of combustion gases, coolant, and oil. This gasket set ensures optimal engine compression and temperature regulation, which leads to improved performance and longevity. 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 between the engine block and the cylinder head. It includes the head gasket itself, plus all the little gaskets and seals that go along with it – intake manifold gasket, exhaust manifold gasket, valve stem seals, often even little O – rings for the cooling system. It’s everything you need to properly reseal that whole area when you’re working on the top end of the engine. Think of it as the barrier keeping your combustion gases contained, your coolant flowing where it should, and your oil staying inside the engine. It's a critical component in making sure everything runs smoothly and efficiently. It physically sits between the engine block and the cylinder head, holding in the pressure from combustion and keeping fluids separate.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

If this gasket fails, you're going to have problems, and you’ll notice if it does. You might see coolant mixing with the oil – that’ll look like a milky, coffee – colored sludge. You could get combustion gases leaking into the cooling system, causing overheating. Or you’ll get a loss of compression, meaning less power and potentially rough running. It really acts like a shield protecting all the vital parts. Replacing the whole set when you’re doing this work is best practice, because everything ages together. You can find a good cylinder head gasket set on sites like Fixparts Online, they usually have a wide selection. It’s a relatively involved job, but a properly sealed head is essential for a reliable engine.
