Installation & Maintenance Tips
- Have the cylinder head and block checked for warping and cracks by an engineering shop before installation.
- Ensure both mating surfaces are clean, dry and free from old gasket material, oil and coolant residue.
- Use the correct head bolts or studs specified for the engine, and replace torque to yield bolts where required.
- Follow the official tightening sequence and torque angles for the specific engine code to avoid distortion.
- Flush and refill the cooling system with the correct specification coolant after reassembly, and bleed properly.
- Change engine oil and oil filter after major head work to remove any contamination from the repair process.
- After installation, monitor coolant level, oil level and operating temperature closely for the first few hundred kilometres.
Engine Parts Installation Warning
Internal engine components such as cylinder head gaskets must be installed and set up correctly to avoid severe engine damage. Fitment should be carried out by a suitably qualified workshop with the correct tools, torque data and service information for your specific engine code. Improper installation, incorrect torque procedures, failure to machine warped components or reuse of worn fasteners can lead to premature failure of the new gasket and possible engine failure. Warranty is conditional on correct professional installation and normal use.
Engine Parts Return Policy Warning
For internal engine components, returns are strictly controlled. Once a cylinder head gasket has been opened, handled in a workshop environment or shows signs of attempted fitment, it is generally not suitable for resale. As a result, these parts are only returnable when supplied incorrectly and when they remain unused, clean and sealed in their original packaging. Please double check engine code, bore size, OE numbers and catalogue data before opening the packaging. This helps to protect both workshop safety and product integrity for South African customers.
