Detailed application coverage

What this part is used for

• Replacing worn engine seals that can allow oil leakage
• Restoring sealing at the oil pan, rear main, and timing cover areas
• Supporting water pump sealing during engine service
• Addressing seepage from pick-up tube and inlet tube sealing points

Installation notes and tips

Confirm engine code and gasket set coverage before installation, since this is a conversion set and not a complete top-end gasket package by itself. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the service manual for sealant use, torque sequence, and cure time where applicable. Verify that the head set is selected separately when the application calls for a complete engine gasket solution.
