The usage of crankcase housing cover gasket

Replacement is carried out during scheduled repairs, maintenance of the distribution gear assembly, installation of a new timing chain or crankshaft oil seal. Before installation, it is necessary to clean the seats of the housing and block from the remnants of the old seal. The gasket has holes for bolts securing the cover to the block.

The bolts must be tightened to the torque specified in the vehicle repair manual. It is recommended to use the services of specialists in a car workshop: insufficient tightening or overtightening of fasteners can damage the sealing characteristics of the gasket.
