FAQ

What exactly is the purpose/function of this component?
The gasket set bundles several matched sealing elements for a specific assembly or overhaul and ensures complete sealing after disassembly. It reduces the risk of incorrectly or incompletely equipping individual sealing points.

How can you identify a defect / typical symptoms?
An indirect indication of a defect is present if, during an overhaul, several aged sealing points are affected or the existing seals have already hardened or been damaged. Missing or incorrect individual parts in the kit often lead to renewed leakage later on.

How do you inspect/test the component?
Check the completeness, material composition, contours, and assignment of each individual part using an exploded view or workshop manual. Before installation, sealing surfaces and screw patterns should be compared with the existing parts.

When should it be replaced?
A gasket set should always be used during a complete disassembly or overhaul; old gaskets should not be reused. Replacement is therefore a sensible preventive measure as soon as the assembly is opened.

How do you check compatibility?
Important factors include the OEM number, the scope of the kit, the engine or serial number, material variants, and the individual gaskets included. It is crucial that the kit precisely covers the area to be overhauled.
