Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Will this gasket set work with a 4.0L SOHC engine that has been mildly overbored?

A: This 4.0 MLS headgasket set is sized for stock bore specifications; consult your machine shop if the bore has been significantly enlarged, as bore diameter must match the gasket fire ring.

Q: Do I need to resurface the cylinder heads before installing this MLS gasket?

A: A finish of 50 Ra or smoother is recommended for MLS gaskets, so a light resurfacing by a qualified shop is advised unless the heads are already within that surface-finish range.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
