Detailed Product Overview

Victor Reinz cylinder head gaskets are engineered for lasting macro and micro sealing performance in demanding engine environments. The material selection and gasket design are focused on resisting extreme temperatures and high-combustion pressures while helping protect against fluid transfer between the combustion chamber, coolant passages, and oil galleries. For Ford Ranger and Mazda B2500 service work, 61-10349-00 provides the sealing foundation needed during cylinder head repair or engine rebuilds.

Use this gasket when replacing a failed head gasket on 1983-2001 Ford Ranger, 1998-2001 Mazda B2500, 1994-1997 Mazda B2300, and other listed Ford and Mercury models. The part number 61-10349-00 is also associated with interchange references 8993PT1 and E3TZ-6051-A.

What This Gasket Helps Address

• Coolant loss caused by cylinder head gasket leakage
• Oil and coolant mixing from a compromised sealing surface
• Compression loss that can affect engine performance
• Combustion gas leakage between the head and block
• Sealing failure after overheating or head service

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the cylinder head and engine block for warpage, corrosion, and surface damage before installation. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly and follow the vehicle service manual for torque sequence, torque values, and any required re-torque procedure. Because gasket sealant is not included, use only the sealing method specified by the engine manufacturer.

Confirm engine code, head design, and year-specific fitment before ordering. This gasket is listed for Ford Mustang, Ford Ranger, and Mazda B2300/B2500 applications, so matching the exact engine configuration is important for proper sealing.
