Mahle 5746 Engine Cylinder Head Gasket

Mahle 5746 Cylinder Head Gasket

Mahle 5746 is an OEM-standard engine cylinder head gasket built for applications that demand reliable sealing under heat and pressure. This composite gasket uses single-sided graphite construction and is specified with torque-to-yield fasteners in mind for proper clamping and long-term sealing performance.

• Composite construction with single-sided graphite sealing material
• OEM standard grade for factory-style fit and sealing
• 0.04 in. / 1.12 mm thickness
• 104.70 mm / 4.13 in. cylinder bore diameter
• Torque-to-yield fastener application
• No gasket sealant included
• Cross-reference: FEL-PRO 7733 PT-2

Application Details

Mahle 5746 is used on a wide range of V8-powered trucks, vans, SUVs, and performance vehicles, including Chevrolet Express 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Chevrolet C/K-series platforms. It is also listed for Chevrolet Blazer, Camaro, El Camino, and GMC Jimmy applications across multiple model years. If you are servicing a Chevrolet Tahoe cylinder head gasket, GMC Yukon head gasket, or a Chevrolet Express 2500 head gasket application, this part number is one to verify against your engine build and bore size.

Mahle gaskets are trusted by OEMs and technicians worldwide for sealing consistency and material quality. Part number 5746 is engineered to maintain combustion sealing between the cylinder head and engine block while helping preserve compression and coolant separation in the engine.

What It Helps Address

• Coolant leakage at the cylinder head sealing surface
• Compression loss between the head and block
• Combustion gas leakage into the cooling system
• Oil seepage caused by a compromised head gasket
• Overheating concerns related to sealing failure

Installation Notes

Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces carefully before installation. Replace torque-to-yield head bolts where required by the application, and follow the factory torque sequence and tightening specifications. Confirm bore diameter, thickness, and engine code match the vehicle before assembly. Because this gasket is specified without sealant, install it dry unless the service procedure for the engine calls for a different method.

Quality Assurance

Mahle manufactures sealing products to OEM-standard expectations and supplies gaskets used by vehicle manufacturers and professional technicians. This part cross-references FEL-PRO 7733 PT-2 for the same application.
