Detailed application overview

This engine cylinder head gasket set is intended for vehicles that require a complete sealing solution during cylinder head removal or overhaul. The HGS1153 part number covers many Chrysler, Dodge, and Plymouth models, including Dodge D150, Dodge Ramcharger, and Plymouth Gran Fury applications, with notes that vary by engine package and heavy-duty configuration. The set uses a mix of sealing materials such as MLS, graphite, rubber, silicone, EPDM, and Viton valve stem seals where applicable to address heat, oil, coolant, and combustion sealing demands.

This part cross-references MAHLE (e.g., HS3536, HS3536D) for the same application.

Common issues this set addresses

• Combustion pressure loss at the cylinder head sealing surface
• Oil leaks from valve cover, camshaft, or related top-end seals
• Coolant seepage between the head and engine block
• Intake, exhaust, or plenum sealing failures during engine service
• Leak paths created during cylinder head replacement or rebuild work

Installation notes and tips

Verify the exact engine configuration and note details before ordering, especially on listings that specify heavy-duty or intake-gasket requirements. Follow factory torque procedures and replace torque-to-yield head bolts when the engine application calls for them, since reused TTY bolts can reduce clamping force.

For best results, clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and confirm bore diameter and gasket layout before assembly. The HGS1153 part number should be matched to the vehicle notes shown for each application.

Quality assurance

DJ Rock sources this set as a premium sealing solution built to OEM-quality standards. The HGS1153 part number is backed by materials selected for top-end engine sealing performance, including non-asbestos construction and application-specific sealing components.
