What Is This Part?
The cylinder head gasket forms the sealing interface beneath the cylinder head. The head bolts clamp it between the mating surfaces, where it seals around the combustion chambers and fluid openings. Its effectiveness depends on the condition of those surfaces and the correct installation procedure. It is renewed during cylinder head removal and relevant engine rebuilding work.
What Does This Part Do?
- Contains combustion pressure: Seals the combustion chambers at the head-to-block joint.
- Seals coolant passages: Helps keep coolant within its intended circuit.
- Seals oil passages: Helps contain lubricating oil where it passes through the joint.
- Separates engine circuits: Maintains sealing boundaries between combustion gases, oil and coolant.
Why Replace This Part?
A failed gasket can allow combustion gases or fluids to cross the joint. Overheating, distorted surfaces or incorrect clamping can contribute to failure; replacing the gasket alone will not correct these underlying problems. Renew it when the head is removed, checking surface condition and following the engine-specific fitting procedure.
When to Replace This Part?
- Confirmed leakage: Testing identifies a leak through the head gasket.
- Fluid contamination: Oil and coolant mixing requires investigation.
- Cooling-system pressure: Combustion gases are detected in the coolant.
- Visible damage: Inspection reveals burnt sealing areas or damaged surfaces.
- Head removal: Fit a new gasket during reassembly. These indications require diagnosis rather than proving gasket failure on their own.
Where Is This Part Fitted?
Location: Between the cylinder head and engine block on the applicable bank of the V6 diesel engine. Cylinder-bank applications cover cylinders 1–3 or 4–6 according to the selected reference; confirm the required version before fitting.
Technical Details
- Thickness: 1.68 mm.

FAQs
- How do I confirm the thickness?
Check the identification holes and follow the engine manufacturer's selection procedure, including piston-protrusion measurements where required. - Does overheating automatically mean the gasket has failed?
No. Diagnose the cooling system and check the head and block before deciding on the repair.
