Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this head gasket require a specific sealant? A: This gasket is designed for dry installation; the composite layers seal under head bolt torque without additional RTV or copper spray.

Q: Can I reuse the existing head bolts when replacing the gasket? A: The included bolts are torque-to-yield and must be replaced; reusing old bolts can lead to improper clamp load and gasket failure.

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