Detailed Description

Mahle HS54197E is an engine cylinder head gasket set engineered around the sealing surfaces most affected during cylinder head service. The set includes materials selected for their specific sealing roles: multi-layered steel for the head gasket, beaded steel for the exhaust manifold gasket, and molded rubber for the intake manifold gasket. Camshaft seals and RTV are also listed in the package contents, supporting a complete reseal during service.
