MAHLE Cylinder Head Gasket

The MAHLE cylinder head gasket (also called a head gasket or cylinder head gasket set) seals the joint between the engine block and cylinder head. It keeps combustion pressure in the cylinders and stops coolant and engine oil from leaking or mixing. MAHLE is a leading OE supplier and the parent company of the Clevite and Victor Reinz brands. It has decades of sealing experience, and its gaskets are designed to meet or exceed original equipment requirements.

Key Features:

• Engineered to seal combustion gases, coolant and oil passages reliably
• Built to OE-level quality standards, with materials chosen to suit each engine design
• Designs include multi-layer steel (MLS) and other constructions, depending on the application
• Precision-manufactured for consistent fit and sealing surface contact
• Withstands high temperatures, cylinder pressures and repeated thermal cycling

Replace the head gasket if you see signs of failure such as overheating, white exhaust smoke, coolant loss, oil contamination or compression loss. For best results, use new head bolts if the manufacturer specifies it. Inspect the head and block surfaces for flatness and clean them thoroughly before installation. Tighten the bolts to the engine manufacturer's torque specification and sequence.
