Gaskets and Sealings

Gaskets and sealing
Gaskets and sealing are there to prevent leaks from oil, coolant and air. The gaskets and sealing also prevent the entry of air and dirt through the seals. Different gaskets and sealings are named after their location and purpose. The head gasket seals the cylinder head and cylinder block. The rear main seal prevents the area around the rear end crankshaft main bearing from leaking oil. The gaskets and sealing are made from different materials depending on the purpose.


When rebuilding an engine you need to buy an engine rebuild kit which helps with the replacing of gaskets and sealings which prevent oil leaks
