Mahle CS54504 Engine Conversion Gasket Set

Engine Conversion Gasket Set for Hyundai and Kia

Mahle CS54504 is an OEM-standard engine conversion gasket set for select Hyundai and Kia applications. It combines the sealing components needed for engine service, including a paper oil pan gasket, rubber rear main seal, timing cover gaskets/seal, and water pump gasket.

Detailed Description

Mahle CS54504 is an engine conversion gasket set built around the sealing components commonly needed during engine repair on Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It is organized as a service kit rather than a single gasket, with coverage for the oil pan, rear main seal, timing cover, and water pump sealing points. The included RTV for the upper pan gasket is noted in the fitment data, and the set is intended for use with a head set to make a full set where required. Mahle CS54504 supports repair work on Hyundai Sonata, Santa Fe, Tucson, and Tiburon, plus Kia Optima, Magentis, and Sportage applications listed in the fitment table.

What It Is Used For

• Replacing worn engine seals that can cause oil leaks
• Servicing the oil pan sealing surface during engine repair
• Addressing rear main seal leakage at the crankcase
• Renewing timing cover sealing components during teardown
• Restoring water pump sealing during cooling-system service

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify engine code and gasket coverage against the vehicle’s service information before installation. The fitment notes specify RTV for the upper pan gasket and indicate use with a head set to make a full set. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect related sealing faces for damage before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Mahle gaskets are trusted by OEMs and technicians worldwide for sealing performance. This part cross-references FEL-PRO CS 26276 for the same application.
