Detailed Description

Mahle HS54485A is an engine gasket set for cylinder head repair and resealing on select Hyundai Elantra, Tucson, Tiburon, and Kia Soul, Sportage, Spectra, and Spectra5 models. The set centers on a multi-layer steel head gasket, a construction commonly used where consistent clamping force and sealing integrity are required. The included intake and exhaust manifold gasket materials are matched for the application, helping support a complete reseal during top-end engine service.

This part cross-references FEL-PRO HS 26181 PT-1 and HS 26181 PT-3 for the same application. Mahle HS54485A is also associated with Hyundai OE numbers 20920-23C20, 20920-23C30, 20920-23F00, 20920-23H00 and Kia OE number 20920-23H00.

Common Repair Uses

• Head gasket replacement after coolant loss or combustion sealing failure
• Top-end engine reseal during cylinder head removal
• Repair of external oil or coolant seepage at gasket interfaces
• Service work following overheating-related head gasket damage
• Restoration of manifold sealing during engine rebuild or teardown

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm engine code and exact vehicle application before installation. Because this set is listed as torque-to-yield, follow the factory tightening sequence and torque-angle procedure for the specific engine. Cylinder head bolts are not included, and replacement is recommended when the head is removed. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and inspect the cylinder head for warpage before assembly.
