Installation Notes and Tips

Clean both mating surfaces thoroughly before installation and remove all old gasket material, corrosion, and coolant residue. Verify the water pump and engine surfaces are flat and free of damage, then align the gasket carefully with the 9 mounting holes before tightening fasteners to the manufacturer’s torque sequence and specification.

For best results, confirm the vehicle build date on 2009 Hyundai Tucson and 2009 Kia Sportage models, since fitment is listed only through 09/30/2008 for those applications. Always match the gasket to the exact engine and cooling system configuration shown in the fitment data.
