This gasket prevents leaks of combustion gases, coolant, and oil, ensuring efficient engine operation. It is used in engine applications to maintain compression and thermal control. This gasket provides a robust seal under high temperatures and pressures, contributing to improved engine performance and reliability. It measures 5 x 200 x 260 mm.

Key Features & Benefits

This gasket basically seals the space between the engine block and the cylinder head. Think of it as a really important seal – it prevents combustion gases, coolant, and oil from leaking where they shouldn’t. It has multiple layers, designed to withstand incredible heat and pressure from inside the engine. It’s not just one seal, it’s a bunch of seals all working together in one piece. It’s right at the heart of things, honestly. It’s a critical component in making sure your engine runs properly. Without it, you’ve got a major problem. It ensures the engine maintains compression – that’s what gives your car power. It also keeps your coolant and oil where they need to be, preventing overheating and lubrication failures. It acts like a shield, keeping everything contained and working as designed.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if this gasket fails, you’ll notice pretty quickly. You might see white smoke coming from the exhaust – that’s coolant getting into the cylinders. You could have oil mixing with the coolant, making your oil look milky. Or you might just lose compression, meaning your engine won’t run well, or even at all. It’s one of those parts where, if it goes bad, you will know it. Replacing it can be a bit of work, but it’s absolutely vital to get your engine running smoothly again.
