Product Details

Mahle VS18027 is an engine valve cover gasket engineered for sealing the valve cover to the cylinder head on the 1995 Kia Sportage. The molded rubber construction supports a stable seal under normal engine heat and vibration, while the OEM-standard specification aligns with factory-style replacement requirements. Mahle supplies sealing products used by OEMs and technicians worldwide, and this gasket reflects that focus on fit and sealing consistency. This part cross-references Kia 0K972-10-235A for the same application.

  • Visible oil residue around the top of the engine
  • Sealing loss after valve cover service
  • Replacement of a hardened or flattened gasket
  • Maintenance on a 1995 Kia Sportage valve cover assembly

Installation Notes

Clean the sealing surfaces thoroughly before installation and inspect the valve cover for warpage or damage. Confirm the gasket seats evenly in the groove and torque fasteners to the vehicle manufacturer’s specification. For 1995 Kia Sportage valve cover gasket service, verify the bolt hole layout and sealing surface condition before final assembly.

Quality Assurance

Mahle sealing products are built to OEM-standard expectations and are trusted in professional repair environments. The VS18027 is intended as a direct replacement gasket for the listed application and is backed by Mahle’s established manufacturing focus on engine sealing systems.
