424694 Volvo Construction GASKET (PQ=10)

Gaskets create a static seal between two mating surfaces – usually engine components like the cylinder head and engine block, or around valve covers, intakes, and exhausts. They prevent leaks of things like coolant, oil, and combustion gases. Different gaskets are made from different materials—rubber, cork, silicone, even metal sometimes—depending on the temperature and pressure they need to handle, and what fluids they're sealing. A gasket’s job is to maintain pressure and prevent leaks within the engine. Without a good seal, you’ll lose fluids, experience a drop in engine performance, and potentially cause some serious damage. It’s kind of a low – profile hero – it doesn’t make the engine run, but it's vital for everything to stay contained and work properly. You’ll notice if a gasket goes bad usually by seeing a leak – oil or coolant dripping somewhere it shouldn’t be, or maybe even smelling burning oil. It’s really important because those leaks aren't just messy. Lost oil or coolant can quickly lead to overheating and engine failure, which is a major headache and expensive fix. A failing gasket acts like a shield that's starting to crack, and eventually, things will get through. Replacing a gasket when it’s starting to go is a much cheaper fix than dealing with the consequences of a blown engine. We carry a lot of different gaskets, and you can usually find what you need on a site like Fixparts Online—they've got a pretty good selection, and you can search by year, make, and model to make sure you get the right one for your vehicle. Versatile and reliable: Gasket (MPN VOE424694) includes a 12-month warranty!
