Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 61-10466-00 is an engine cylinder head gasket designed to maintain macro and micro sealing under high combustion pressure and elevated temperatures. The MLS material helps create a durable sealing surface, while the one-piece design supports consistent installation and dependable compression across the head-to-block interface. This part cross-references Four Seasons 54701 for the same application.

For Chevrolet Aveo and Chevrolet Aveo5 repairs, as well as Pontiac Wave and Pontiac Wave5 engine service, this gasket provides the sealing precision needed when restoring compression integrity and fluid separation. The Victor Reinz 61-10466-00 is a practical choice for technicians replacing a worn or damaged head gasket in these small-displacement engines.

What It Helps Address

• Loss of cylinder compression from a failing head gasket
• Coolant leakage between the head and block
• Oil seepage into combustion or coolant passages
• Combustion gas leakage at the head sealing surface
• Overheating concerns linked to compromised sealing

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the cylinder head and engine block for flatness, surface damage, and residue before installation. Follow the manufacturer’s torque sequence and tightening specifications for the vehicle, and verify that all mating surfaces are clean and dry unless the service procedure calls for otherwise. Because no gasket sealant is included, use only the sealing method specified by the engine service manual.

For best results, confirm engine code, bore size, and year-specific fitment before ordering. This part is listed for 2006-2008 Chevrolet Aveo, 2006-2008 Chevrolet Aveo5, 2006-2008 Pontiac Wave, and 2006-2007 Pontiac Wave5 applications.
