Detailed Description

Victor Reinz 61-11262-00 is a cylinder head gasket designed for Ram heavy-duty diesel and gas engine service where dependable sealing is critical. The MLS design helps maintain a tight seal between the cylinder head and engine block, supporting compression retention and fluid separation during normal operation and under load. Victor Reinz uses OE-proven materials and design methods drawn from Dana Incorporated resources to produce sealing components for demanding engine applications. This part number, 61-11262-00, is listed for 2019-2023 Ram 2500 and 2019-2023 Ram 3500 coverage.

This part cross-references 5621255 and 68581420AA for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Combustion gas leakage at the cylinder head interface
• Coolant and oil mixing caused by sealing failure
• Loss of compression from a compromised head gasket
• Sealing breakdown from heat cycling and combustion pressure
• Fluid seepage around the head-to-block mating surface

Installation Notes and Tips

Inspect the cylinder head and block surfaces for flatness, corrosion, and residue before installation. Follow the engine manufacturer’s torque sequence, torque values, and re-torque procedures where specified. Because gasket sealant is not included, use only the sealing method called for by the engine service procedure. Verify the application by engine code and VIN when servicing a Ram 2500 or Ram 3500, and confirm part number 61-11262-00 before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Victor Reinz cylinder head gaskets are built to OE-level sealing standards and are designed for durability in high-temperature, high-pressure engine environments. The MLS construction and material selection support consistent sealing performance for Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 service applications.
