Gasket, cylinder head

This cylinder head gasket from Guarnitaut serves as the critical seal between your engine block and cylinder head. Its primary function is to contain the combustion process within the cylinders while simultaneously preventing coolant and oil from mixing or leaking. A reliable gasket is essential for maintaining proper compression and ensuring your engine operates efficiently under various conditions.

This specific part is a repair execution with a total thickness of 1.0 mm. It is designed with an oversize of +0.40 mm compared to standard specifications. You require this increased thickness when the cylinder head or engine block surface has been machined or resurfaced during a rebuild. Since resurfacing removes material and lowers the head, this thicker gasket restores the necessary clearance.

Using the correct repair thickness helps you maintain the original compression ratio and prevents potential mechanical interference between internal components. It ensures the engine runs smoothly after significant maintenance work. The component is built to handle the thermal and mechanical stresses typical of internal combustion engines.

We offer this specialized component from Guarnitaut. You can identify this part by the supplier code 101540-5210. It is designed for compatibility with various models from Ford and Ford USA. Always confirm that the +0.40 mm oversize is appropriate for the amount of material removed from your engine surfaces.
